A good one!

french limerick :

il était une fois un garçon,
qui se plaisait à jouer des sons.
des mots il choisit,
pour faire des poésies,
jusqu'à ce qu'il en trouva les bons.

(okay, it's not very funny. i'll try again.)

There once was a man from Nantucket
Bought a lolly and wanted to suck it
But a dog, theft in mind
Crept up from behind
Jumped up, grabbed the lolly and took it!

i often did wonder,
does my mind often wander.
'cause one day in a dream
i caught sight of ice-cream,
in an old wrought-iron guzunder!

Actually he wasn't finished!
the last line went that way :
"When you kindly remind her that her profile details are wrong and she needs to list her new Sony 700 & she's been told so a few times indeed"
(and please note the rhyme : see/indeed)

There's a terror from Quebec I know
Who lives half o'the year in the snow
When he's freezin'
Goes a-sneezin'
And ev'ryone sez "God bless yo"

There once was a guy from Paris,
who wanted to write poetry.
he played with sounds,
wished for rhymes to abound,
claimed, "in english, you're much more silly."

Heyyyy! Excellent! (I think you need the "play-yed" for the number of syllabes, no?)

There was a young man from Ealing
Had an urge to dance on the ceiling
Lionel Richie he's not
Fell back to his cot
Now you can guess what he's feeling

From Texas there hails a gentleman and cynic
Whose command over words is certainly no gimmick
Of Red he does write,
With fresh tales to recite
Of perils from the Snacker's great Picnic

vivaldirules · 05-17-2009, 05:01 PM

A limerick I've tried to coax
from synapses of this old folk
but I've had to cheat
and words excrete
from "Bob's Big Book of Booger Jokes"

She'll offer you pie and libations
but sometimes loses all patience
She'll roar out of bed
all her letters turn red
and behold, THE SNACKER OF NATIONS!!!!

I'm impressed with the wit on this thread.
Although some goes over my head.
But I'll still be reading
Cause fun I am needing
But now I am off to my bed.

There was a young Professor from Limerick,
Who studied the Art of the limerick.
He was taken by the cunning
and artful use of punning...
that he showed a smart flair for linguistics.
