**TN\*hippie** , that is. He is in Chattanooga and unable to access a computer at the moment, but he’ll be in Knoxville and back on the board sometime Monday. He passes these messages along: 1. It rained most of the time. ☹ 2. But saw a full rainbow over the ocean. 🙂 3. Did NOT get laid. ☹ 4. Because there was a severe shortage of eligible females: mostly families and old folks. ☹ 5. Was kinda boring. ☹ 6. But ate tons of fresh seafood! 🙂 7. Best sign seen (a letterboard at a motel): **WE COME LOW RATES** 🙂 8. Got a glimpse of the limericks thread… “Wow! I’ve created a monster!” sez **TN\*hippie**. 🙂 9. Sez he also: “See y’all Monday! Peace, _TN_hippie\*” 🙂 10. A list of nine items just doesn’t look right. 🙂 ---

Howdy folks! Sure missed you guys. **ProudAmerican** tells it like it is and told it like it was. Still, it was nice to get away for a bit. **evilbeth** , I go to court one week from today. May or may not go to jail that day. I’ll e-mail the address of the _Knox County Hilton_ to anyone who requests it. Meanwhile, keep those limericks coming… it does me good to laugh (and cry). Peace, TN\*hippie ---

WELCOME HOME TN\*hippie!!! thank goodness you’re back…the limericks are out of control, and in desperate need of their master… I tried to help, but they all laughed at me…something about a ‘canadian’ hippie not being the same thing… was the rainbow amazing??..I once saw a double arc above the ocean in Big Sur…I will carry that magical image until my dying day!!

Glad you had a good time on your trip 🙂 You’ll see I did not post to your limericks thread - but I’m saving them up for all the postcards I’ll send you once I get the address to your, ahem, “hotel” 😃 ---

Because there was a severe shortage of **edible** females: mostly families and old folks. ☹ \*\* Yark. That gave me quite a shock. Dylan (my wife) is a hippie and I was wondering if this was some weird hippie thing. ‘Mates check in but they don’t check out.’ ---

There once was a lady named **Dylan** Who from the limericks thread was chillin’ But it’s really quite easy To be punny and sleazy: If published, we’ll all make a killin’ **dewt** made an error simplistic: Thought us hippies were cannibalistic. While it’s not so incredible To find ladies quite edible, I don’t use my _teeth_: be realistic! ---

There once was a gay man from Fargo Who set out to find sweet Key Largo. But in Georgia was frightened By the Religiously Rightened Who said: “We got got feathers and tar…GO!” ---

Lord Morgan was gone for a while. But he’s back, in a Limerick style. So here’s a few lines of verse, with some getting worse, than his usual “medium-vile”. There once was a girl from Belize who had incredible skill on her knees. She could suck with such force a man’s only recourse was an extra $10, and “!Please!” A fellow named Dave, from Nantucket grew some hair where most people can’t pluck it. It could hardly be parted, and caused pain when he farted, unless Brillcreme was applied by the bucket. Oh, the Limerick is lowly and vile. So uncouth in its poetic style. An offense to the pure, it dismays the demure, (but the rest of us buggers just smile!)
