The Limerick Thread

    Ah, the limerick: the poetry of the working class.

    There once was a poster called S.M.A.K.
    Who carried upon his young back
    A dwarf who ate mice
    And was crawling with lice
    And who wore a large yellow rain mac

    Now, S.M.A.K. was disturbed by his chum
    Who was filthy and boring and glum
    So he whipped out his hammer
    And with barely a stammer
    He smashed the poor dwarf up the bum

    He packed the dwarf up in old lace
    And squashed him into a suitcase
    He sent it to France,
    did a big happy dance and
    then celebrated with cans of fresh Mace!

    ~~~~~~~~~

    S.M.A.K., you're sick. Killing dwarves like that. And inhaling Mace, tut tut.

    Let me see all your limerick attempts.

    And I am up for challenges - I can write limericks in under two minutes! (Please note, I am not always online.)

    there was a young man named neuro
    who didn't have a bob nor a euro
    he tried to get rep
    but got tripped in his step
    And Smak banned him forever mooro

    Now sanncoo, she tried to have fun
    she typed but the words wouldn't come
    Her brain it was freezin
    Cos in bed she was sneezin
    So she flew off on a plane to the sun!

    back to bed for me...the rhymes just not coming.......

    There was a young girl called sanncoo
    Who presumed that she knew what she knew
    But, then, to her joy
    Realised neuro's no boy
    She's a girleen like sanncoo is too.






    (edited to spell sanncoo's name right :))

    There once was a girl, neuro-praxis
    Who had limited internet access
    Writing Limericks in minutes
    If speed counted she'd win it
    Take your time with the rhyme and relax, sis.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭neuro-praxis


    I absolutely love it, as soon as my rep is back you're getting some!

    Dear lord, rhyming with praxis...brilliant! :)

    There once was a young man from Limerick
    Who loved cats - had three Manx and a Cymric -
    And the strangest of games;
    He had, to his shame
    An unhealthy obsession with Sim Brick



    Weirdly, when I googled for Sim Brick, boards.ie came up as the second result.
    Spooky?

    The once was a sweet young Gummybearz,
    (But I doubt that anyone cares),
    She posted a limerick,
    Got hit with a hockey stick,
    Now she's in hospital wih severe brain damage and they don't know if she's even going to last the night.






    :D

    A young man named smoke.me.a.kipper
    Bore a likeness to old Jack the Ripper
    But he didn't use knives
    To end poor whores' lives
    He just beat them to death with a slipper


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭gaui3d0pnbz86o


    there once was a happy chap called flameboy,
    who like chinese food covered in soy,
    while reding boards.ie,
    and eating his tea,
    his bottom was sore as he sat on a toy!

    true story!

    Who got a huge Karma attack....................


    Sorry your gonna have to wait 24hrs :D I'm all out :(

    There was a young doctor named Loon
    Who was mad as a drugged-up baboon
    Upon his prescriptions
    He'd make such inscriptions
    As "Apply to the arse with a spoon"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭neuro-praxis


    There was a young chap, Pickarooney,
    Who limericked from earth to the mooney,
    With his japes and his capers
    He headlined the papers -
    His limericks can't come out too sooney!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Now Bubbles, he was an odd lad,
    He loved to make everyone mad,
    When his newsletter ran,
    He was given a ban,
    But he's still there and that makes me sad.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,484 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    There was an old poster named Sarky
    Who got in on this Limerick malarkey
    When the contest was stalling
    With his rhymes he came calling
    And started it up like a car key


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 921 ✭✭✭Shaque attack


    there once was a poster called shaque attack
    the meaning of his own name he could not crack
    so he went on-line
    to waste some time
    and now sits in fear of a smack attack


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,484 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    How does one pronounce 'koneko'?

    There was a young girl called sanncoo

    Realised neuro's no boy

    oops!!!

    Neuro praxis she was a good sport
    She rhymed for all she worth
    A young wan named sanncoo
    Should have checked with the boards crew
    And praxis she laughed on in mirth


    Sannco was bored off her tree
    She was so busy she just couldn't pee
    So she logged on to boards fun
    And boy did the time run
    Now she has enough work for three

    there was a french woman called lili
    she try to speak english desesperately
    but never reach her goal
    it's at kicking head at a wall
    nevermind, she will, soon or lately


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭summer_ina_bowl


    I'm offended by ye're sheer lack of skill,
    Each of ye I would gladly kill.
    A knife in the back,
    A violent attack,
    Or maybe just slip ye a pill.


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭summer_ina_bowl


    Oh god, is that what i just said?,
    So sorry, it just popped out my head,
    I think ye're all great,
    Though my praise is late,
    I'm really quite glad ye're not dead.:)

    There once was sum-mer in a bowl,
    who tried hard not to be a troll.
    So, speaking his mind
    made him one of a kind,
    as he increases boards's death toll.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There once was a fellow called Sarky
    who, when woken, turned out to be narky.
    So, while in a deep slumber,
    his friends (few in number)
    injected some drugs for a larky.

    He woke and felt mellow indeed
    but believed that he was a great steed
    so he climbed on the table
    as quick as was able
    and ordered his friends to take heed.

    "I'm a horse of great strength and goodwill!"
    he shouted (while high on the pills).
    His friends were in stitches
    as he whipped off his britches
    and galloped three miles up the hill.


    Sorry Sarky!


    :o

    A chap(?) called summer_ina_bowl
    Started to act the arsehole
    Bus as soon as (s)he did so
    (S)he turned a bit schizo
    And with kind words (s)he saved his/her own soul


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,313 ✭✭✭sanncoo


    Sum-mer in a bowl was so lucky
    By changing the words (s)he was plucky
    The lads all agreed
    (S)he was not a bad seed
    Cos things could have got rather mucky

    (apologies to the english language....for the sheer abuse)


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭summer_ina_bowl


    Ye're forgiveness has warmed me inside,
    I had feared that I might have to hide,
    But ye've all been so nice,
    I'll give ye rep twice,
    And do so with obvious pride.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,484 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    This thread in the bowld Cuckoo's Nest
    Is seemingly well past its best
    Though the interest is waning
    You won't hear me complaining
    I just had to get this off my chest

    Us Cuckoos there are but a few
    We thought we knew what we knew
    In the nest we did hide
    But not without Pride
    Cos we knew how we stood with the crew
