For all those limerick fans....

Complete the rhyme… and then start another…

There once was a man name Sal…


I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!

There once was a man named sal
Who loved a bodacious gal…

PCW – I generally enjoy your wit and wisdom on the board but … If you’re going to start a limerick game at least start with a line that scans!!!

How about …

There once was a fellow named Sal…

or

There once was an old man named Sal…

Sheesh!!!

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

There once was a man named sal
Who loved a bodacious gal,
When he showed her his ‘thang’…

Now you’ve got VB doing it!!

Listen up everyone: The first line of a limerick has eight syllables!!!

Eight. As in a few (see the few thread for details).

Unless we’re supposed to pronounce “bodacious” with four syllables you both screwed up!

Ok Pluto, you asked for it:

There once was a plumber named Lee
who was plumbing a girl by the sea
Said the girl “stop your plumbing,there’s somebody coming”
Said the plumber still plumbing “it’s me!”

Pluto… as you may have noticed, I have never been one to follow rules… but thank you for pointing them out.

There once was a fellow named Sal,
who was in love with a bodacious gal,
when he showed her his ‘thang’
she screamed out with a twang…

And VB, that’s so YOU! always thinking from, well, never mind. :wink:

Life is teaching you some painful lessons. But it is from adversity that strength is born. You may have lost the inning, but I know you’ll win the game.

and exlaimed, “Can’t you straighten it? I shall!”

Now, let’s be accurate, Purplebear; I don’t think with it, but it’s the only toy God gave me, I will play with it 'til it breaks, and I was taught to share! :wink:

VB, dear, and I quote"let’s be accurate, Purplebear…" So, let’s! I said, FROM there, not WITH there. HAH! I won’t comment on ‘it’ breaking, but if you really share…
you know where I live… :wink:
To continue with this limerick thing:

There once was a guy named Larry…

Are you guys trying to give pluto a seizure? Come on, now…if a thing’s worth doing, it’s woth doing right!

The once was a fellow named Larry
Whose “thang” was bodacious and hairy

Good Gawd, I love limericks!

There once was a fellow named Larry,
Whose “thang” was bodacious and hairy.
It looked like a cigar…


My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny.

Whose “thang” was bodacious and hairy.
It looked like a cigar,was hard as a bar,
and converted the Virgin Mary!
“Gimmee the points!” :slight_smile:

There was a young man of Toledo…

There was a young man from Toledo,
Who carried a bulge in his Speedo…

If it jams, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

There was a young man from Toledo,
Who carried a bulge in his Speedo,
The day it got loose,
The cops cooked the goose,
Of his spicy, exotic burrito.

(don’t ask ME what it means!)

You’re talking about me, right?
