Silliness Ministry Limericks - Page 2

Even a dummy like me can have a go

There was a writer from Scotland
Took members ideas from MR land
He wrote their story
None of them corny
Everyone gave him a big hand

Hell, I will enter a Limerick smackdown with any of all ya'all!

The was a young French lass named Zelda
Who absolutely, undoubtedly held a
MobileRead court entranced
While Montsnmags down under danced
And everyone snacked on Gefilte

That, my young Limerick gangsters, is how we do it free style -abstracta absurdio!

OK, but what else rhymes with "zelda"?

there's a man on MR who's a shrynk
and ably diagnoses in a blink,
say's he "you're not crazy
just extremely lazy,
now pay at the door with a wink...."

Ms. Zelda is the Queen of the Ministry
Cuz she's such a good sport, don't you see.
But she just won't admit
And throws such a fit
When you kindly remind her that her profile details are wrong and she needs to list her new Sony.

A site for books that were mobile
Changed contacts from local to global
Despite the sock plague
And madness that raves
The idea was ever so noble

Limericks should be 5 lines in strength
And 3 of them about the same length
VR's effort above
Whilst it's purpose I love
Really just doesn't make senth!

The sony is a star! shining in reds and in blues,
Ms. Zelda has one, that she calls a "liseuse".
Each day she went to attend
The list she has to emend
But updating a device; "is refused..."

vivaldirules · 05-17-2009, 09:39 AM

The Sony 700 -
I sat and I just wondered:
If Zelda won't admit
she's had one for quite a bit
Then how's they gonna sell any of those things - haz someone blundered?

As far as I can tell there's a marked decay in the form of the last limericks
