I got this idea from the Victorian Flirting Thread.

It probably won't even make a second page.

The idea is this:

I provide the first line for a limerick, you make up the other 4 lines, then provide a new first line for a new limerick. (for those who don't know, a limerick consists of 5 lines. The 1st, 2nd, & 5th rhyme with each other and the 3rd & 4th rhyme with each other.)

Hint: end the first line with an easily rhymable word. The idea is to create limericks, not stump the other person


So my first line is:

There once was a boy from Scotland
 
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
 
Who had never been to a hot land
So he got in his car
And he drove very far
Until he was mired in hot sand.


Next one (this is fun and I think it will appeal to those who frequent the Make a Sentence thread, as well as others):

I once knew a dandy named Randy

He had the serious hots for Andy
But oh, such cruel fate,
Andy was strait,
And was totally infatuated with Mandy


They called her a total ice queen
 
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
 
For ne'er with a beau was she seen
Her standards were high
And no man caught her eye
Until she met bald Mister Clean.

At Sarge's you don't ask for pork
The latkes are swell
And the matzo as well
So don't let them know you're a dork.

I floated in upon a cloud
 
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
 
Kent, you usurper!

My hair was a mess and a fright
I ran out of gel
And looked just like hell
So I kept me out of the light.

His "Hey! You! Get off!" was quite loud

There once was a vicar in London
 
Posted by Brainiac 5 on :
 
Who reeked like a 12 week-old onion
He refused to bathe
Or shower or shave
And the stench sent parishoners runnin'

(London is hard to rhyme, Quis!!)


"The locals all knew of Jolene"
 
Posted by Semi Transparent Fellow on :
 
She dressed herself up like a queen
When she was down
She'd put on her crown
And parade into town to be seen.

And dragons there I did smote
When I was a child

And two others were out cold on the deck.

My sister loves to eat cookies.

Life in L.A. was too much for the man
Leaving was his only plan
At midnight he packed
all his stuff on Amtrak
Now in Macon, he lives in a van.

Why did Ram Boy move to Georgia?
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Why did Ram Boy move to Georgia?
Instead of sunny California?
It's hard to find
a perfect ryhme
So I think I'll just end it now.

Next (And maybe last)

Has this thread run it's course?
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Has this thread run its course?
Are all of our rhymes sounding forced?
If the thread takes a rest,
That sometimes is best.
And then it will come back full-force!

Next (Whenever that may be):
Life on Legion World is just great.
 
Posted by Ram Boy on :
 
Life on Legion World is just great.
There's no anger, or malice, or hate.
Just mind the rule;
Don't act like a tool,
and this super group you'll soon penetrate.

Next:
When posting on Legion World I'd advise
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
When posting on Legion World I'd advise
wearing a mask or some such disguise
It helps you avoid
people you've annoyed
when writing a limerick they despise.

Quislet is looking forward to the Con
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
Quislet is looking forward to the Con
And seeing Legion World friends thereupon.
Some he's already met;
Others, not yet,
Like that weird guy from Houston named John. [Smile]

Next:
A trip to the con will be fun.
 
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
 
A trip to the con will be fun:
Some comics, some travel, some sun!
Drive to San Diego
In your Winnebago,
And bring back comics by the ton!

Next:
Some of us will go in spirit
 
Posted by Exnihil on :
 
Some of us will go in spirit.
Others will wish they lived near it.
Well, Ex was in town,
DiDio shot him down,
And if you check out DC's podcast, you'll hear it.

Writing new limericks is tricky
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Writing new limericks is tricky
Espcially when you have a hickey
Don't be rude
Or in the nude
Or things could end up awfully sticky.

Certain Legion fans went to New York City

Certain Legion fans went to New York City
The state of Legion affairs was a pity
Two comics are gone
The cartoon's no longer on
And DiDio is just trying to be witty.

Next: Legion of Three Worlds is still being drawn
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Legion of Three Worlds is still being drawn
Let's hope it doesn't turn into Black Dawn
How many die
And leave fans to cry?
Will Jeckie turn into a gigantic prawn?

NEXT: There once was a fellow called Prime
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
There once was a fellow called Prime
He's Superboy, not Man, this time
Though he talks good trash,
He's afraid of Kid Flash,
But at least he's not written by Justin Thyme.

Rockhopper Lad was shelving some books
 
Posted by Exnihil on :
 
Rockhopper Lad was shelving some books
Left out by inconsiderate schnooks
When they started to shout
Rocky tossed them out
A librarian is more than just dirty looks

There once was lawyer named Quis
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
There once was a lawyer named Quis
Who made a particular biz
Of knowing what's right
In blind Justice's sight
In Space Law he's also a wiz.

A speech being made by one Yellow Kid
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
A speech being made by one Yellow Kid
Was for an office for which he'd bid;
"Come vote for me,
and soon you will see,
I'll accomplish more than Lardy ever did!"

Next:
Lard Lad replied with a retort
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Lard Lad replied with a retort,
"That's wrong and I'll take you to court!"
He hired a lawyer
Whose name was Tom Sawyer,
With skills of a fictional sort.

NEXT:
The judge in the case then replied
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
The judge in the case then replied,
"Sorry, my hands are thus tied,
Political spin,
it may be a sin,
but on fee speech watch Yellow Kid glide."

NEXT:
Lardy's appeal case seemed doomed
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
Lardy's appeal case seemed doomed
On the horizon failure loomed
when all at once,
he stopped being a dunce
"Quislet must defend me!" he happily boomed

NEXT:
Quislet prepared an airtight case
 
Posted by The Traveler on :
 
Quislet prepared an airtight case,
"I'll win at a world-record pace,
Their evidence is weak,
Their witnesses can't speak,
And their suits... just a fashion disgrace"

NEXT:
The jury was thusly sequestered
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
The jury was thusly sequestered,
"GUILTY!" "NOT GUILTY!" they bickered,
The evidence was weighed,
Decisions were made,
Then Lardy's verdict was summarily delivered.

Next:
"All rise for the Judge" was heard,
 
Posted by Lad Boy on :
 
"All rise for the Judge" was heard,
Lardy -- dear Lardy -- inferred
"The bailiff must mean
I should be crude and obscene."
I'm sure you can guess what occurred.

Next:
With unparalleled jurisprudence
 
Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
 
With unparalleled jurisprudence the judge,
who seemed to be holding a grudge,
Cried "60 days in jail!
No, I will not grant bail!"
And on that, he would not budge.

Next: In jail Lardy dropped the soap
 
Posted by Exnihil on :
 
In jail Lardy dropped the soap
And, non-sequitorially, I hope
Quis is happy this thread
has been bumped from the dead
Or I'll end up looking like a dope.

Next: Actually, thread bumping's fun,
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
Actually, thread bumping's fun,
It's better than beating a nun
But instead
this thread's dead
Limericks are over and done.
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
 
[Bump]
 
Posted by Exnihil on :
 
Limericks are over and done?
Why, this thread was barely begun.
So I'll take your lead
And plant the next seed
To grow it back to a thread that is fun.

Next: Thank God that Levitz is back...
 
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
Thank God that Levitz is back
and the Legion's not done by a hack
But who will be Leader
As deemed by The Reader
May make Mr. Levitz say "Frack!"

Next: You know what the Legion needs now
 
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
 
You know what the Legion needs now
Is for male Legionnaires to allow
More view of their skin,
Wearing costumes so thin.
Gravity Kid can show them all how.

Next: If Cos brought back his bustier
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
If Cos brought back his bustier
Rocky would surely grow lustier
but when all's said and done
despite all his fun
Rokk's 70s look could not grow more mustier

If Luornu had two-timed poor Chuck
That would be the end of his luck.
He'd mope and he'd pout,
His bounce would give out,
So if he starts falling, just duck!

Next:
Let's write a story about Lash
 
Posted by rickshaw1 on :
 
There once was a lad named Lash
he was not a fan of the $#%^
the word is offensive,
he gets a bit apprehensive,
and at Rickshaw he will bash.

next: Future King
 
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
 
Future King
did something
naughty
bawdy
a real fling.

It was the usual St. Patrick's Day
All the drunks came out to play
But the PoPo's surprise
Bugged out their eyes
when the beer was all iced green tea.
