Latest of my limericks nonsense...

Limericks VII


There was once was a lovely young bride
She made the groom swell with pride
But once at the altar
Her resolve did falter
She ran off on a one-way bus ride
 
There once was a man from Lahore
Who went for a walk on the shore
It was night and the moon
Actually made him swoon
Until his wife called him a bore
 
There’s this gal I know named Cryssie
She can be a little prissy
But don’t get her mad
Or you will be sad
In no way is she a sissy
 
There once was a fat cat named Pat
He sat on a mat by a vat
He was almost dreaming
When he woke up screaming
At a hat-wearing rat with a gat
 
I know this young bartender
Who had a fender bender
His boss is a jerk
So he’s lost his work
Now he’s a fender mender
 
There once was a king named Cole
He climbed up a telephone pole
At the top he exclaimed
I cannot be blamed
For my kingdom’s economic hole
 
A friend of mine went to the woods
There he met a couple of hoods
They demanded his money
They thought it was funny
Until he showed them the goods

This takes me away to many a day when I was sad and makes me believe things in life get better and better with nonsense sometimes swaying my mind also, and I can relate to a few of these verses here quite well.

There is a stand-up poet named Reg
Who for limericks has quite a knack.
You can count on him never to hedge,
And at rhyme, he is a crackerjack!!

Funny or serious, he's our man.
No wonder he has so many fans!!

Bes' I can do. Love your work, my friend. Y o u !!

And Humpty Dumpty
Feeling a tiny bit funky
Felt a little more stumpy
Looking at his lil' chunky
Hungry and so very grumpy
He cracked his private monkey
On the top of the King’s frumpy
Falling on top of a royal hunky
Made humpty dumpty more frumpy
And all the King's clunky junky
Cracked like a monkey’s spunky punky

Your third one got me...until I realized that the name was Cryssie, not Cryssa :~). I would love to see you create some limericks about the AD authors. They could really be a hoot! ... Kate being late, etc. hee, hee...

I have to echo Kate's sentiments about your limericks. I always enjoy reading them! You are becoming a master... You notice that none of us dare to tread on your special form. It is kind of funny, in a way, that we all shy away from the limerick form since that is the form they teach elementary aged children. Maybe elementary aged children aren't afraid of thinking up rhyming words...even if they are nonsense words, and most adults are. I just enjoy sitting back and laughing at the wonderful weaving of stories and words. :~)
Kudos,
Cryssa

Seriously, Regis, they just keep getting better and better: sharper, more metrically tight and good substance, too. Not easy within the confines of what such strict form requires. Have you done an "orange"-one yet? It's said that NOTHING rhymes with orange....!!! :)) xx
