This thread was started by **Eddy**  
Or was it started by **Freddy**?  
It’s a simple enough game.  
Start with a Doper’s name.  
No, wait. It might have been **Teddy**.

In December when days get colder,  
And snows and winds both get bolder.  
People say "Hey, it’s **Xmas; Annie**  
Get up off your fanny.  
I whine "But today I’m a year older.

A kid with a holiday birthday?  
Poor **Annie**! While all have their mirth day  
Her birthday must pass  
Overwhelmed by **Xmas**  
And of specialness, it is a dearth day. ☹

**Real** I feel it’s common indeed  
for some Dopers to smoke wacky-weed  
for some surely are chronics  
and have issues with phonics  
while posting when high…guaranteed

* * *

Well today I am back at work  
but my duties I’ll not likely shirk  
we’re not busy of late  
so please do not hate  
that I’ll have time to either post here or lurk

A thank you again to **EdTeddyFred**  
for starting this WONDERFUL thread  
I hope more Dopers join in  
for what fun it’s been  
have your lurkers tried yet? Go ahead!!

I should really learn to preview post  
to catch errors, if not all, at least most  
for I hate to mistakes  
when all it really takes  
is a second to be less engrossed

(that was a stretch - lol)

So here’s my fix:

The first on the list that I see  
For the postcard exchange is **misstee**.  
**Faucet** asks, “Expertise?”  
**ShibbOleth** has hirees.  
**Lobsang** looks at false names. Now, let’s see…

**bittersweet** looks at childish gross foods.  
Family names give **Sampiro** bad moods.  
**FairyChatMom** is leaving  
For Florida; I’m grieving  
**renigademaster’s** thought foods!\*

**featherlou** has that lottery winner;  
**MonkeyMule** is a cat chip beginner.  
**MaxTheVool** has three vowels;  
**LolaBay** avoids fouls;  
Is our **Eve** hot in search of a sinner?

**CandidGamera** has her own comic book;  
**Trunk’s** game? Proper nouns, or get the hook.  
**screech-owl** mourns things unsaid;  
**Rue DeDay** hops ahead.  
**iampunha**? Nigerian kook!

(I’d do some more, but – sigh – I must  
Head off to work. Adieu, mot juste!)

\*Yes, I know it’s weak – YOU do better! 😛

Dammit **ETF** that was GREAT!! Here’s my sad attempt following the master…  
There’s more fun going on in I-M-H-O  
**Winston Smith** asks for porn names don’tcha know  
while **Lizard** seeks good-lover clues  
**Jackmanni** discusses queing blues  
and **Freiheit** wants to know where in Germany to go

**Padmaraga** ’s thread is about hating cats  
men vs. women, though I don’t know any stats  
**JmPride** discusses SO’s _forbidding_  
though most seem to think he just kidding  
while **Sturmhawke** needs info about Macs

**BigBadVoodooLou** is to be a _best man_  
and **iwakura** wants a presentation plan  
**Lvgeogeek** talks of shirking hygiene  
**Interrobang** , unexpected kids on the scene,  
as **GMRyujin** seeks a Budget moving truck or van  
Whew! That was rough (and slightly awful! lol!). _ **bows to ETF** _

OMG **gum** says his porn name’s Timpa Kinker  
I’d fall for that porn star, hook, line & sinker  
with an accent to boot  
the long distance could become moot  
& I’d happily abide in Amsterdam, hmm…wishful thinker.

I last posted here at 3:35  
now this thread is barely alive  
don’t let it die  
**ETF** will ask “Why,  
did my “spotted” thread not survive?”

I’ll not be the death of this thread  
I’ll post one last limerick before bed  
so come Dopers now  
save this thread, some way, some how  
rhyme whatever comes into your head

Ah, well, what can be done  
some Dopers have had all their fun  
we enjoyed the play  
but tomorrow’s a new day  
and new topics will arise like the sun

**OneYogini,** TwoYogini,  
ThreeYogini, Four.  
Your thread didn’t survive?  
Well, we’ve all been **there** before.

Our cleverness is lost on the masses,  
One would think,  
And the next time I go there,  
Y’all better catch my backside - QUICK!

**The scrivener** examines band names;  
Trash books earn **yojimboguy’s** flames.  
**JohnBckWLD**  
Has some TV to see;  
**Mangetout** sees the echoes of fame.

There’s “Showgirls” on **lissener’s** mind;  
While **Gadfly** says “Beatdowns to find!”  
**smiling bandit** asks why  
Are CG costs so high?  
**gentle** orders the ships of the line.

Spectres! but wearing bright hats  
Then **Cervaise** made a crack  
'Bout a talentless hack

Rats would be welcomed,  
To the Pit Thread I’m in.  
They would eat up the posts,  
All of them, the evil ones the most!  
Lie down on their furry backs,  
Tell us all to relax.  
Absolve me of my SDMB sins,  
And bar the evil ones from coming in!

“A talentless hack”? That’s Hunter  
S. Thompson, a drug-addled grunter.  
**NoClueBoy** , hurrah!  
That you see what I saw:  
_Fear and Loathing_ is crap, to be blunter.

I’m posting a [link](http://pub2.ezboard.com/fnoclueboysincrediblyfreneticstartrekdiscussionsfrm12.showMessage?topicID=12.topic) for my friends  
To join me in making amends  
It’s set up for Dopers  
And some interlopers.  
To flaunt their geekdom to the ends.

Signed up and all,  
I wonder, pondering weary -  
Is **NoClueBoy** a poster  
Of the realm dark and dreary?
