Remember: every year you’re the best present! 🙂 A Doper named **EddyTeddyFred** Has so many cats that all shed. Her poems are the most But every time she posts She leaves cat hair all over the thread. I see a poster named **Yogini** , My knowledge of who is so teeny. How do you do? Pleased to meet you. So do you wear Speedos or a bikini? ---

Looks like you’re needing a clue-in I wear a bikini while sipping a bellini at the beach or maybe sea-doo’n In fact I’ll be there this Easter sunning my bikini-clad keister with friends all around no clouds to be found and none of us using a leister We’ll have bbq by the truckload, oh my and for the ribs extra sauce to apply cole slaw and baked beans and baby spinach greens and when come back, I’ll bring apple pie!! 😃 Yogini ---

There once was a doper named **Trunk** Who would limerick himself, so he thunk He got underway With the oldest cliche And from then on his limerick did stunk ---

Indeed there was a poster named **Trunk** who thought his first limerick stunk but he could try a-gain ignorance he’d feign or else explain that he was quite drunk So come again soon **Trunk** and give it a go for we’re all amateurs here, you should know though **ETF** is the best she wouldn’t protest though it surely may not be quid pro quo. 😃 ---

**One Yogini** says she’ll bring pies, That’ll go straight to my thighs. :rolleyes: She wears a bikini She must be so teeny. Bet she gets hit on by all the guys. 😉 **EddyTeddyFreddy’s** been so quiet Come on! Your limericks are a riot! You started this game Now pick a new name…… (Perhaps she’s on holiday at the Hyatt?) Well, hello to new poster **Trunk**! You’re limericks stink? That’s bunk. It brought me a smile, So post for a while And then we’ll all go for a cool dunk. ---

There was a young lass near Nantucket who tried to mix rhymes in a bucket. Said **EddyTedFred** off the top of her head, “If the meter don’t scan, just say ‘nugget’!” ---

Well, **harmless** , I couldn’t boast _teeny_ but most don’t flirt with this meanie for I have an S-O a right jealous beau so I must scowl at those unwitting weanie By the by **Moose** does “nugget” rhyme with “bucket” I know the latter, for sure does with “Nantucket” so I’ll suggest another word a place maybe you’ve heard of in Thailand, a tropical isle, name of Phucket I swear it is real, that I know and I do wish someday to go but not so soon for first there’s the moon I’m off to find that billionaire 'schmo For that is my ticket to ride into space and I may even let him reach second base for I’m truly a giver but the S-O might deliver all of my personal effects to a storage space! 😃 ---

Come limerick with us, lurker **Trunk**! The use of your own name ain’t bunk. It’s **harmless** , I’d say, So with **ETF** play While **Sternvogel** swears: “I’m not drunk!” **Yogini** is setting the pace; **NoClueBoy** swings by to say grace. **SanguineSpider** drops in Over **Blonde’s** hair to spin A web of the finest silk lace. ---

So into this thread walked poor **Daisy** Who was worried they’d all think her crazy. For I can rhyme it, you see, If I rhyme it with me, Or maybe I’m just too damn lazy. I know **Eddy** began this fine lark, and I see it’s no walk in the park. So before I was lurking, And now my brain’s working. I sure hope I can leave my mark. ---

This is a limerick thread But **Blonde** has decided instead To write in verse But I won’t curse While the dashboard light plays in my head. 😉 In this thread, **DaisyFace** You can surely find a place No-one will complain For you are quite sane And will leave much more than a trace. ---

> [@One Yogini](#): > > By the by Moose does “nugget” rhyme with “bucket” Well, the consonants are both glottal stops. . . If I must post perfection, try this (forgive the self-reference): There is an old Doper, **B** ullwinkle, whose eyes do most merrily twinkle except when his pros- tate makes him quite cross cuz he must log off and go tinkle. I’ll be right back. . . ---

Iambic pentameter, glottal stops I feel like I’ve met the limerick cops I just try to rhyme which takes up some time 'til I learn, I’ll keep getting busted chops It’s good we’re still going welcome **Daisy** , good showing I enjoy this distraction and Doper interaction thankfully my boss is easy-going 😃 ---

He started a limerick; then **Moose** To the **lieu** was compelled to vamoose For his prostate enforces Such limited courses Of rhyming before it must loose. But fear not! We can put in his place As a rhymer our dear **DaisyFace**. **cityboy916** Takes a bow in this scene. **OneYogini** of rhymes has a brace.
