Perpetual Limerick (:3=

The song is ended, but the melody lingers on
But my once perfect pitch has now come and gone

The song is ended, but the melody lingers on
But my once perfect pitch has now come and gone
I hum on with sad eye
That each one has to die
And that folks are always left to sing alone.

Memory is a sparkle on the jewel of life

Memory is a sparkle on the jewel of life
My memories so thick you can cut them with a knife

to ride on his horse
acustom of course
but this time
he's broken his shin.

Cusick. Welcome to the thread! On this thread we're doing tag team limericking!

One person writes as many lines as they'd like, then passes it on to the next person who can add lines or finish it. If you are the one to finish the limerick, you then you must start a new one.

I think there is another thread for solo limericks, so on that note, please join in if you'd like, and take it from here:

Memory is a sparkle on the jewel of life
My memories so thick you can cut them with a knife

Memory is a sparkle on the jewel of life
My memories so thick you can cut then with a knife
But it's easier to cut pie
Though it goes straight to my thigh

Memory is a sparkle on the jewel of life
My memories so thick you can cut then with a knife
But it's easier to cut pie
Though it goes straight to my thigh
And then put the blame on my wife.

(That one started out sensible and poetic and ended up silly. But that's okay. I hope. The rules used to be, that each person wrote one line, but some of us get too carried away. ) My start:

I wonder what Saturday will bring?

Seal Poet's rules say add one or two lines. But I think things have been working fine even when we get carried away. Seal, should we stick to the rules?? What I mind is when we get too far off the official limerick rhyming pattern.. Would some one knowledgeable post those rules? (I don't mind the silliness either!)

I wonder what Saturday will bring?
I hope a weekend fling!

I wonder what Saturday will bring?
I hope a weekend fling!
No work, all play
That's my kind of day

I wonder what Saturday will bring?
I hope a weekend fling!
No work, all play
That's my kind of day
Go to the mall, that's the thing.

About limericks and rules...

There once was a poet from Olde Lyme
Who wrote limericks to fill up her time
Though rules she would heed
She could never succeed
In writing a verse that would end right.

I say let the rules take care of themselves. In the limericking threads on aBuzz we once got quite off topic and off meter and wrote us a whole Christmas story before we kenw it.

So I'll start a new...

If it floats your boat I say do it...

If it floats your boat I say do it
If you don't do it, boy will you rue it

If it floats your boat I say do it
If you don't do it, boy will you rue it
Take a chance on failing

If it floats your boat I say do it
If you don't do it, boy will you rue it
Take a chance on failing
Don't waste time in wailing

If it floats your boat I say do it
If you don't do it, boy will you rue it
Take a chance on failing
Don't waste time in wailing
No one will care if you blew it!

Type A people take risks

Type A people take risks
And they beat on Type Bs with their fisks

Type A people take risks
And they beat on Type Bs with their fisks
They're nervous and jittery...

Type A people take risks
And they beat on Type Bs with their fisks
They're nervous and jittery
And flighty and flittery




(boy, I'm on a roll tonite! )

Type A people take risks
And they beat on Type Bs with their fisks
They're nervous and jittery
And flighty and flittery
Then they record it all on a disc!

A verse sometimes makes a melody...


(( Just roll on McTag))

A verse sometimes makes a melody...
And sometimes it just don't mean squat to me
