Calling all limerickers! Lovers of doggerel, fans of going from bad to verse!
The rules are simple. Write a limerick using another Doper’s name. You can use the previous poster’s or anyone else’s that strikes your fancy. You can abbreviate it if you must for the rhyme (as, for instance, ETF or EdTeddyFred instead of EddyTeddyFreddy) but it has to be recognizable.
Okay, let’s see whose names are around the top of the MPSIMS threadstarters’ list right now? Ahhhh…
Your Thanksgiving dramas? Please share
Says Cynical Gabe, while “Despair!” csharpmajor bemoans
But hey! Throw no stones
At our Lissa – she really did care.
Idle Thoughts thinks of posting while smashed
While False_God is aghast at the past Evil Ash checks out tits Tuckerfan speaks of Skits Johnny L.A.? “Buy NOW! Going fast!”
That feckless old Admin, Ed Zotti
(who seldom behaves like John Gotti)
Inverted all threads
From tails to heads
Because he was feeling quite naughty.
I think that CK DexterHaven,
That daring COCC maven,
Once wrote in a thread
That Cecil was dead!
It turns out that he was just ravin’.
Better quit before I get myself in serious trouble. . . .
Hey, what fun are the mods/admins if you can’t mock 'em, huh? Giraffe prowls the plains of the Pit
Tracking down every troll, jerk and git TVeb gets his back
With her sock-slicing knack This Year’s Model is new, but he’ll fit.
Vanilla beans roast in the oven
While JayJay complains of a coven
Played by women of fame
In a film that was lame
In which Satan can’t get him no lovin
I was LOST in a thread by John Mace
Would I ever get out of this place?
I quote by default
Dopers yelling for Walt
While staring at Sun’s lovely face ETF shouted til hoarse
About someone’s faux Pitting of course
She finds it much fun
To have bugs up her bum
While telling us tales of her horse
If there are more rhymes that you seek,
Look up my good buddy, meek,
For he started this thread,
And to everyone’s dread,
It went on for well over a week.
You have hit the mark, Kythereia
My name’s not shrouded in mysteria.
You’ve not mispronounced.
Your post, I’ve not denouceed
So there’s no need to go into hysteria.
Dragwyr, your name brings to mind
Dragons soaring o’er cowering mankind
Roosting monstrous and stern
On the cragged heights of Pern
On the ridgelines of weyrs all aligned.
My dear,EddyTeddyFreddy,
This thread, I first thought it was petty.
But upon further thought,
All the rhymes here have wrought
A subject that make me quite heady.
Ogden Nash once said “Liquor is quicker”
But for legal insights, turn to Bricker
Or perhaps minty green
Then there’s Campion. 'Twould seem
'Tis the lawyers who’ll have the last snicker.
Polycarp, he said in this thread,
when he posts, the thread ends up dead!
He misjudged his hosts,
Who keep posting posts.
So I guess it was all in his head!
PS - ETF, you are so evil for getting this stuck in my head.
Canadiangirl is flustered.
Her frying pan, it seems bustered.
Hey, wait! Do not fear!
The 'dopers are here!
And the answers come a-clustered! twickster: Damn – I brought the wrong lunch
That pizza must have had quite a punch!
She’ll settle for “PB”
And tonight, you see,
That pizza will disappear. Crunch!
This is all your fault, Sternvogel. Now I can’t help thinking of thread-summery limericks as I read them …
What is this, Stranger On A Train?
This lunch query, you must explain!
Oh wait, never mind;
When read, you will find
He did Akbar. The answer was plain!
Let’s hear it for Amazon Floozy!
Her anagram pics sure are a doozy!
Big thanks to Hal Briston
with the webspace for listin’.
All this laughing, it has me quite woozy.
It would seem Ponder Stibbons has a curse.
For now he can only think in verse.
When he sees a new thread
Limericks form in his head.
Now he wants Sternvogel in a hearse.
