*These little ditties are from the Pit,
Now the TM should share their wit.
Four line poems with a member name,
Try real hard to make them lame.
Rhyming scheme, A-A, B-B,
Jump on in, the game is free.
Post them now, it’ll be fun,
Just make sure it’s a real bad pun.*

John Corrado went to France
To teach the ladies how to dance!
Curtsey to the Admiral, bow to the Queen,
Turn your back on the old submarine!
John Corrado r’turned from France,
He found the airline lost his pants!
Curtsey to the senator, bow to the rep,
Turn your back on the old French schlepp!
John Corrado chased his tail
In the end, to no avail!
Curtsey to the King, bow to the Monarch
Hey, who cares he dropped a bollock!
Though we jumped to do his bidding
Our buddy Scylla was only kidding!
Sometimes we rib that, sometimes we rib this,
But we don’t mess around with the twin of Charybdis!
Hey! You better thank your lucky brewskies you put that “a” in there! And that you deleted that comma between bad and pun. And that you’re a mod and . . . wait, that was supposed to be in rhyming couplets? Screw that!
UncleBeer should be so glad
that he remembered a new fad
He omitted smilies and “sis-boom-ba”
And thus did delight his friend i’mp’nha.
Iampunha is a mighty fine bloke,
But he never really could take a joke,
When the great Greek beast started rippin’ on the French,
Iam cut off his head and made him his mensch.
Doggies is doggies and cats is cats
Grizzlies is grizzlies and bats is bats.
All of these animals is wonderful, see?
Most people think so, and flup must concur.
And, as long as the estimable RealityChuck has called for clerihews…
UncleBeer
Has a thing for Pam Grier.
On his way out to refill the bird feeder
He reminded me that everything I write here I grant the non-exclusive irrevocable right to re-use in any manner they see fit without notice or compensation to the Chicago Reader.
Unclebeer here wants us to rhyme
Truly this is a big waste of time
A Mod on the boards he may be
But that doesn’t make his poems witty
Then there’s Coldfire of Ne’erland fame
To some Trollhunting is his game
To others still he’s right on the money
While the whole time being pretty f***ing funny
We’ve got Homer, also called Tim
His chances of scoring seem rather slim
But his posts need no abating
Except for the ones about defecating
Byzantine here can be assessed
As the Board’s most sex-obsessed
This may often be hardly seen
As she’s also a flaming Pit-Queen
Chief_Scott surely hates smilies
Ignoring all the pro-smiley pleas
Sadly I say that him I have pissed
Since I made it on his shitlist
TechChick deserves a Hey You here
To all the Board she’s very dear
Her life flucutates through many stages
But still she helps with the People Pages
Cecil, it’s said, is the smartest on Earth
He writes with smarts and plenty of mirth
Although one’d think his flaw would be
He doesn’t spend enough time at the SDMB
There is one other who deserves much love
Fighting Ignorance from up above
Though some come close there can never be
One to equal our friend Wally.
(My apologies to those I may have offended. This post is made entirely in good spirits.)
