There was a new poster named vix who was scared to death of all the cliques so she posted, in dread to the limerick thread where some friendly folk hang out for kicks I used to hope Bledsoe would win but now I’ve moved to Brooklyn though the Tuna is gone the fight lingers on to route for the Jets in a sin ---

Although your effort is prodigious The Hippie might find it sacrilegious. Though your haiku is nice only limericks suffice whether subject is real or fictitious. ---

If two posters use the same computer Clear the cookies (so you won’t be a looter). So as not to steal thunder your own name go under so the admins don’t give you the booter. TN\*Hippie I’m stretching my brain to write you a limerick again. By these limp rhymes you can tell that I don’t do so well so near bedtime from rhymes I’ll abstain. -----:eek: —////\\ ---

Hey folks, it’s really no jokey: In a week I go to the pokey. But 'twixt now and then I’ll be wearing a grin For all in all Life’s okey-dokey. _Check ya later, folks. Love ya all. Peace, TN_hippie\* ---

I’m wondering, “how could it be?” These limerick are signed **TN\*hippie** , The **ProudAmerican** , has posted again, Authentic, or mere forgery? We have a long standing tradition, Don’t mix rhyme with nuclear fission, But that could impart, unless he can start, A new limerick thread is **Hip** ’s mission. ---

**TN\*hippie** is not yet in jail, So he parties with vim and regale, Avoiding the game, he claims a rename, And posts at the pace of a snail. ---

You see, I am technically lame (I’m TN\*hippie: one and the same) And PA helps me not: His 'puter, too, is 'bout shot So I’m forced to post under _his_ name! Yes, it’s me. Can’t stay long, though…takin’ a trip to the beach before I go to the hoosegow. Will be back in Knoxville next Thursday; check in to Knox County Hilton Friday morning. My address there will be: **Kent Heustess c/o Knox County Detention Center 5100 Maloneyville Road Knoxville, TN 37918** Hope to hear from y’all. (And I was kidding about the contraband: too risky. Cards or letters only, please!) Peace, TN\*hippie ---

Poor TN\*Hippie, without fail, (his time in court, to no avail) will be soon checking in, much to his chagrin, the Knox County Tennessee Jail. TN\*Hippie is gone for a while. (Should we send him a cake with a file?) Hope this never will happen again to this chap in the pokey, it’s just not his style. So if someday again he contrives to contain too much alcohol to drive, lets hope that he walks or to someone else talks into driving, so all safely arrive. ---

It read “I came I saw I conquered”, Though something about the sign bothered, I’d misunderstood, and realized it should, have read, “She came She saw She conquered”. (The weekend’s over – now get back to limericking.) ---
