LIMERICK LOUNGE

[Ulu]

If you crowd all the fish in your tank,
So that never you saw the sick sank,
The grim laws of fate
will not make you wait.
Soon the sunk fish all float in yer tank!

Lol, you'll be up all night now you've found this thread. I found it and before I knew where I was it was Limerick wars with that little pest The Masked Shadow . Lol.

 

[Ulu]

Nah . . . Poetry doesn’t pay well enough.

 

[Ulu]

If you crowd all the fish in your tank,
So that never you saw the sick sank,
The grim laws of fate
will not make you wait.
Soon the sunk fish all float in yer tank!

By the way, I violated the rules by repeating the word tank. It’s very bad form. This bothered me enough that I had to recompose the final line.

If you crowd all the fish in your tank,
So that never you saw the sick sank,
The grim laws of fate
will not make you wait.
Soon the sunk fish all float, smelling rank!

There was a poet whose name was Dan,
Whose written verses would never scan.
When we told him so,
Said, “Certainly I know.”
"But don't you see that this is because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

 

[The Masked Shadow]

On MFK while my homeschool is late
Attempting to extend the due date
Emailing teachers
Those stupid creatures
While wondering why I procrastinate

 

[esoxlucius]

Oh, I see themaskedshadow's on show,
giving the limericks another go,
well, I have news for you bud,
and it's not that good,
old Esox is king, and you know.

 

[FMA4ME]

Ugh this heat has me sweating all night!
And there is no cool weather in sight.
So until it's fall,
I'll hardly sleep at all,
But write limericks till the morning light.
