I cannot ignore the fair Belle, For I would be condemned to hell, An ettiquette slip, (I’m really a drip), Forgiveness would really be swell. (Sorry Belle – been a rough couple of days.) ---

Some limericks, they say, are tres belle and stylish and smoky as well. All these witty rhymes aid the passing of time and my feelings of ennui do quell. -----🆒 —////\\ [“because” and “guffaws” are cool rhymes, Styler!] ---

While Tabithina her poor spouse must mother she might truly prefer him to smother. Here she finds some relief from her husbandly beef with a limerick, and maybe another? [talk about reaching for my rhymes!] -----:eek: —////\\ ---

Two posters turn out to be Dane That’s great, we will never complain About such great folk Who can tell quite a joke Nicetameecha, I’m from Ukraine There once was a finicky cat Who caught for his lunch a small bat So fussy was he That he sent the thing free 'Cause his appetite called for a rat ---

I don’t want to cause a fuss But there’s something that we must discuss: we need a new theme to discuss in this stream of limerick-type-consciousness. Perhaps with renewed concentration we can ponder upcoming vacations. Is Hawaii the best? Or maybe Budapest would be the best spot for elation? Whaddya say, guys? ---

Two posters, one **trade** and one **vix** Kindly stopped by my [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40045) just for kicks. **trade** asked for more rhymes, But being quite pressed for time, This is all I could think of that quix. (Hey, talk about reaching…) ---

I posted my intended major, and that I’m not a pro cager, then vix popped her li’l head in with this cutesy thread. That this limerick sucks I will wager:) Right now I am using mapquest to find out miles between the rest . . . for some high schools I know who in a month will go to my school, their knowledge to test. ---

Hi **punha**! So glad you could make it For this thread, we do not want to break it. Your rhymes are quite fine. I’ll not wager that mine Are worth reading, but these nice folks fake it. ---

Poor Spidey’s house is such a mess. She’d be wise to be posting much less. So perhaps with resolve this problem she’ll solve so of mess there’ll be less to confess. -----:eek: —////\\ ---

**imapunha** , you have to admit, that this thread is really a hit. It’s a fun place to play, really breaks up the day, and some of these rhymers have wit. (But not me, apparently. Boy was that bad.) ---

**vix** proposed for a theme our vacations But right now I can’t do recreation. Three small children have I So I simply won’t fly It would not make for much relaxation. I suppose that we could go by car To a magical setting afar. But three kids in the back Would give me an attack As they constantly grapple and spar. Perhaps then my wife and I might Leave the kids home and take a quick flight. But sitters cost money I’m tellin’ you honey, And our budget right now is quite tight. So home it looks like we’ll be staying And with our small kiddies be playing. But somehow, someday We will send them away. We might miss them, but then who is saying? ---

I think this is more of a case of some posters posting in haste for some of these po’ms are more apt to find homes in wastebaskets of those who lambaste. Moreover, sez I, we are all pract’cing for dopefests next fall. For the man who can rhyme with quick wit and in time will be sure to win ladies - them all. There was once a time back at home when my whole fam’ly emailed in po’m form - it really was dumb as they all were all-thumb. And by that I don’t mean the tome. And now shall I end this li’l ditty For I know I’m nor quick nor’m I witty but I suffer from cases of boredom and spaces of time where my brain is quite shitty. (I can be just as bad at you, vix, if not worse!) ---

BOS, perhaps you might consider a day trip or two - might deliver peace of mind which you seek and your kids for to peak out their energies - saving your liver. (and with that last pathetic effort my brain is spent. I told you I wasn’t a poet:)) ---

When I left work last night it was thriving, but now this thread needs a reviving. I think it’s worth saving 'cause I have a craving to hear yet more rhyming and jiving. ---

I wonder if I may, too, post? To state that this thread is the most. Such quick-witted folks, Who set rhyme to their jokes. But my chance? I’ve not even a ghost.
