Limerick Heaven (or Hell)

Rumble in the Jungle: @miiila vs. @emmaki

May the best woman win!

Waiting for your entry still, witer, it was a public multi-challenge, not a duel, as you see Hungary is such a piece of cake, try some. 😉

I was going to make a limerick about Badge farming (I am attempting the sharing badge now), but badge is too much work.

LIMERICK CHALLENGE: make a limerick using Hungary as a rhyme. Bonus difficulty: no made up words. Have fun, suckers! The link above may prove helpful in this quest.

EDIT: how the hell do I get the share thing to work so I can get a badge?

A girl would wanted a badge called share

She leapt quickly out of her chair

She’d run to Hungary

But needs a younger knee

So her badge list is short and unfair

Well give us some word ideas then!

With a lot of bad limericks, we can get this post to 100 and enjoy that shiny new badge.

In that case you´ve already won.

Oh and another entry!

I just shared the Limerick Hell on my google plus, nothing yet, but within 24 I´ll see, maybe

I got my pronunciation correct too. The ghost of Zsa Zsa lives in my attic. My dare:

Write a limerick rhyming with my favorite guy name: Aloysius.

We could also suggest the ‘Posted a Bad Limerick’ badge to discourse and get 2 badges!

There was a young thread with one post,

Emmaki was it´s reputable host.

One day it went viral,

A limerick spiral

And badges amass for us to boast.

There is a fine gal from Hungary

So fetching in tank top and dungarees

All the men that she passes

Don’t mind about her glasses

They just say, “Come dancing with me, please!”

There was once a man named Aloysius

Who was regarded as somewhat suspicious

His demeanor was really quite queer

And made small children recoil in fear

Which was decidedly inauspicious

Ringo Starr liked to swim with the fishes

Lived large and broke all his dishes

He said with a grin

As he wiped off his chin

No one knows my real name is Aloysius!

That’s pretty awful, but as the only entry, it’s currently in the lead for Aloysius.

Edit: Nope, Blaise has pulled ahead by a nose. (Which by any other name is still not a rose.)

ACK! My rhymer wiring is burning! Stop! Time for some sleep.

Hey, nobody said the limericks have to be good. Who doesn’t love a good bit of doggerel?

That’s why you were winning! Then, Blaise included Ringo Starr. He went too far. He fired a snar. It…

Enough! Back in 4 hours. Zzzzzzz

That was definitely the worst entry in the past 5 minutes.

I hereby award you a brown star.

To the forum came a man named Blaise,

Whose helpfulness didst Emma amaze,

His motives she didst ponder,

As the concept was beyond her,

If only he could teach her his ways.

There once was a woman from Hungary,

All her friends knew her as “that fun Mary”,

Truth be told, she wasn’t that fun

but the point here is that… I won

Edit: During creation I spoke “Hungary” aloud too many times and now the word sounds weird and I’ve forgotten how to pronounce it correctly.

As my last participation in this thread on it´s way to glory and badges for 100 posts and wuts or wutnots now, my challenge, so I can claim I won´t take part myself out of fairness reasons and go back to my work:

In Doers We Trust

must be one of the lines, capitalization optional.

Girl, you inspire such lust

Make us sputter and gust

We say with a grin

Again and again

In Doers, In Doers, In Doers We Trust!

There once was a witch named Miss Crystal,
who cast spells that could be beneficial,
but if she got mad,
her spells could go bad
and things might be anything but blissful.

Now there’s a Witch called Miss Crystal

Whose felicity with a spell or a curse I could extol…

Now, my, aren’t you glad

She ain’t the sort of cad

To take aim at you with her pistol?

Whether you’re from county Limerick, have a tenuous association with the place or just like limericks, this is the place to be. 🔥

Other humorous forms of poetry etc accepted too.

What is a Limerick?

en.wikipedia.org

Limerick (poetry)

A limerick is a form of verse, often humorous and sometimes obscene, in five-line, predominantly anapestic meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme. The following example is a limerick of unknown origin: The limerick packs laughs anatomicalInto space that is quite economical.But the good ones I've seenSo seldom are cleanAnd the clean ones so seldom are comical. The form...

I don’t know how to make limericks!

Sure you do. Feast on Edward Lear and just make up some shite that rhymes with due inspiration:

“There was an Old Man with a nose,

Who said, 'If you choose to suppose,

That my nose is too long,

You are certainly wrong!'

That remarkable Man with a nose.”

Check out the illustrations. This is great stuff! http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/BoN/bon010.html

49th post! Okay, spam not post. What happens with the postcount of a thread with 100 replies, if one of them or more get/s flagged/retired and dissappear/s? Does the badge dissappear too?
Oh and one can take back likes too btw, would that take badges away again too?
