@OnTheFritz,
The first one had the limerick metre, and this one doesn't. But heigh ho, onwards and upwards

They split with the loot in a fast car
They hoped in that car they would get far

@McTag,
Sometimes I'm not sure.


They split with the loot in a fast car
They hoped in that car they would get far
So with a full tank
They sped from the bank

@OnTheFritz,

They split with the loot in a fast car
They hoped in that car they would get far
So with a full tank
They sped from the bank
But their day soon turned out a disas-tar

They committed a zone-speeding felony
And were seen by a copper named Bellamy

@McTag,
Dang, Mac, felony?


They committed a zone-speeding felony
And were seen by a copper named Bellamy
Who picked up his pace
And gave high-speed chase
That caused the quick death of young Melanie


Bereft by the loss of his daughter

@OnTheFritz,

Bereft by the loss of his daughter
And determined the culprits to slaughter
He loaded his gun
And counted to one

And determined the culprits to slaughter
He loaded his gun
And counted to one
Then got out of the car he had bought her

Bellamy's partner had climbed out the rear

@OnTheFritz,

Bellamy's partner had climbed out the rear
Saying, "I'll watch the whole thing from here!"

Saying, "I'll watch the whole thing from here!"
The perp, he was pissed
He shot wild and missed
Then Bellamy put and end to his career


The thief hit the ground, "Damn you!" he said

I wish I had been an accountant instead
I'm just a cheap hood
You shot me down good
And my beautiful daughter, she lies here dead

(I'm posting a line that continues this story, but you can start a new one if you like.)


The cop calls it in, gets an ambulance

@OnTheFritz,

I find it hard to write narrative in limerick form.

I'll go with a new line.

And this is the line I am choosing

@McTag,
Yeah, me too.


And this is the line I am choosing
It's the best I can do when I'm boozing

@OnTheFritz,

And this is the line I am choosing
It's the best I can do when I'm boozing
For a brief, punchy poem
It works every toem
You can quote it sometimes when you're schmoozing.

The weather here now is just fine

@McTag,
The weather here now is just fine
For a rod and a reel and a line
I'll spend the whole day
Fishing the blue bay
Just me, lots of beer and a stein


The neighbor, he's new, doesn't like me

@OnTheFritz,
The neighbor, he's new, doesn't like me
I'm tempted to say "OK bite me."
But really I'll smile
And wave all the while

But really I'll smile
And wave all the while
To stop him from trying to smite me.

But what if his hedge is too high?

Help you trim all the bits on your side.

He's come all the way from Tashkent
