Limericks

Cameron143 · Dec 11, 2024

Are you familiar with limericks? They are poems with 5 lines with a rhyming pattern of AABBA. That is the 1st, 2nd, and 5th lines rhyme, and the 3rd and 4th lines rhyme. In general they are funny and witty. I'll share one I just made up to show you how easy it is to write one.

I heard of a girl named Lotta.
Meet her I said I just gotta.
Since most say I don't know much
About this and that and such,
But if I meet her I'll know a Lotta.

Now you try.

Don't know if I will or I wanna
But there's a big chance I'm just gonna
I'll see how I do
And others might too
Can I win a free trip to Botswana?

I once now and forever know Cameron
Some say he could author a canon
Though I can't say that's true
And I don't know about you
But I'm sure that I'll see him in heaven

I heard of a man who is named Jesus
And how his blood atonement it frees us
From the burden of sin
That we might enter in
To new life which the Father decrees us

Please be sure that you have been born again
Of his indwelling Spirit so that when
He returns for his bride
You will be found inside
Of the kingdom that's prepared for saved men

Friend when this short mortal life it is done
And the new world yet to come has begun
Some will live some will burn
Of his lowliness learn
And find redemption in God's risen Son.

Friend this is what God desires it's true
For you your friends and your family too
Please surrender to Christ
For what he sacrificed
Can give eternal salvation to you

Have you heard of the man sent from heaven
Who has come to remove all the leaven
From hearts of fallen men
Making them born again
Before trumpet sounds reach number seven

Friend at that time it will be way too late
So don't reject this salvation so great
Turn from your life of sin
And let new life begin
As you enter it through Christ the strait gate

That is because the one who they were written about is called Wonderful (Isa. 9:6). When it comes to God's word, I find it very easy to be creative with it. But, seeing how you are the world's premiere panel maker, you already know what I am talking about.

There was once a lady named Magenta
Who praised me for but una momenta
My vain head got so big
Someone thought it a pig
And baked me with a side of polenta

There was once this guy with a huge problem
If he saw new threads then he would mob them
With his stupid antics
Including limericks
Until somebody off a cliff lobbed him

There was a young lass from Botswana.
Some say that she was a hot mama.
Don't know this is true,
But I'm telling you,
She's probably wearing cats pajama's.

I knew two robots named Bill and Donna
Who in Africa bought an iguana
When I asked them both why
Their sarcastic reply
Was in Africa that's what bots wanna

Friends today is Friday the thirteenth
In case no one knows what that meanth
It is just a big joke
'Bout some dangerous bloke
Who I've never personally seenth

So don't be afraid in this matter
It's not like some blood's gonna splatter
Just forget what they say
While having a great day
Ignoring nonsensical chatter

Hold on a second.

Somebody is at my door...

I went to see a guy
With a hotdog stuck in his eye.
I took one bite.
He regained his sight.
I'm glad it was not stuck in his thigh.

Don't encourage me.

Magenta said:

Lol.

Hey there Cameron143
Do you see what you've done to me
I was doing just fine
Keeping humor in line
Now I'm back to idiocy

I fear I've gone off the deep end
Yet I truly pledge my dear friend
To behave from hereon
Until every fear's gone
That this will become my new trend

P.S.

Seriously, I need to put my warped sense of humor in check. Sorry.

Cameron143 · Dec 13, 2024

If he wants to take over the thread,
He's probably establishing thread cred.
But if this is his aim,
it's really quite lame.
His thread cred will never get read.

I cannot say that I disagree
'Cause of what has since happened to me
Since I made my last quips
Someone zippered my lips
So from more nonsense you are now free

I find your humor refreshing,
and though I'm certainly guessing,
Instead of being dropped on your bed
You were often dropped on your head.
And it turned out to be a mixed blessing.

She's a numbah thughteen....
is a line from a scene
But many don't know what they're getting
and prepare for the inevitable bedwetting
The number of love unforeseen.
