Calling all limerickers! Lovers of doggerel, fans of going from bad to verse! [The rules are simple.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=248671&highlight=doper+limerick+game) 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.

Better quit before I get myself in serious trouble. . . . ---
