@spikepipsqueak,

I've got to go out in the rain
I begged to stay inside, in vain.
So I'll put on my slicker
And run that bit quicker
So I can be soon back again.

It's cold as a witch's tit here

It's cold as a witch's tit here
Almost wish I had a warm beer

@OnTheFritz,
It's cold as a witch's tit here
Almost wish that I had a warm beer
While the wind has its way
With the waves on the bay

(Sorry, OnTheFritz, I fixed up your metre. It was giving me the willies. Very Happy )

@spikepipsqueak,
Worry about your own and leave mine alone. If it bothers you so much then don't contribute to the rhyme.

@spikepipsqueak,

It's cold as a witch's tit here
Almost wish that I had a warm beer
While the wind has its way
With the waves on the bay
I sure hope that this line's in the clear.

Duke Ellington once famously said
Snapping fingers, and nodding his head
"It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing"
And without it, the Limerick's dead

So I've got to concur with the poster
Who puts rhythm on top of his roster

Fair enough. Sincere apologies.



So I've got to concur with the poster
Who puts rhythm on top of his roster
I will pull my head in
With a sorrowful grin
And stay on the good side of the hoster.

@spikepipsqueak,
When packing to go on a trip
I'd forgotten the site of the ship.
So I tagged every case
With the name of each base

So now I'm off. Yippety-Yip!

Steer clear of the rocks, that's a must
In Italian sea Captains, don't trust
If in-shore they go
Just to put on a show

If in-shore they go
Just to put on a show
The vessel will end up as rust.

That captain, the scoundrel, is toast

His welfare he values the most
There'll be legal kerfuffel

The verdict, though tough, 'll
Keep him far away from the coast.

I think he is bound for the gaol

@McTag,
I think he is bound for the gaol
Where he'll lose all his tan and grow pale
And perhaps he will ponder
The lives he sent yonder

Where he'll lose all his tan and grow pale
And perhaps he will ponder
The lives he sent yonder
And contact his mummy by mail

What a mess, what a wreck, what a cost
And you shudder at all the lives lost

And you shudder at all the lives lost
"Til they pump out the fuel
There's potential for cruel
Burdens placed on the folk of that coast.

Bread is the staple of life.
But in this terrible strife,
When all's done and said,
We need more'n just bread

I think so, and so does my wife.

Promising leisure and "Wow!"
But that siren call
Doesn't tempt me at all

I'm pledged to be insipid, now.
