As above.. your Limericks goes after this post ......
I started a thread called limerick
I have no idea what is that thing
People type silly things
and some people get the fits
birolCome on birol, you can t start a limerick post without posting one yourself....
Gamecock CamperYeah right he says type a limerick
as if it is easy for me rhyme it
I wasn t born into English
You try it in Turkish
birolBirol it is done something like this:
Here s to Birol
Our Turkiish-born friend
Whose love of Nature
Never will end.
At the bit he is champing
To go out a-camping
Where his worries
Surely will mend.
and you can blame TrlrBoy and the others for this, but you also are at fault for starting this thread[;)] of very poor verse!
birolbirol is a kind ol gent,
who is thinking of getting a tent.
He d rather have a camper,
That his family can pamper,
but no money is there to be spent.
(I m not calling you old, just looking for a rhyme.)
birolSTOPHER--you set a high standard[&:] Very good, (even if Birol isint really old YET.)
(YET--but you know, this thread has the potential to age him like a snowball in hell. I see it going downhill in a hurry when some of the rest of us join in. Like the following
(Which I suppose ought to go in Toni s Cabin Fever thread but I will put it here (with apologies to poets everywhere.)
Hurry SpringTime
The walls of my cabin are closing in
And I ve emptied my fortieth bottle of gin
If I cant go out
I ll sit here and pout
Or write poems--my favorite sin.
birolSome people complain we re a clicque
And shout it in loud fits of pique
That we re birds of a feather,
And all stick together
Because we re not humble and meek.
birolCan someone please tell me,
who this clicque is sposed to be?
Are we cheerleaders or jocks,
Preppies with white socks?
Oh man, what a sight that would be!
birolTo write limericks has long been a yearnin,
and my mind is relentlessly turnin,
But while I sit here and rhyme,
and try to keep time,
I fear that my dinner is burnin
Sorry, my typing finger got all tangled up with itself
birolClicque shmlicque I don t know
Are these some strange cow
They don t need to be herded
All of them are a real perl
How is that ???? good eh [8D][8D][8D]
P.S. Now that I read it, the last line is not good, oh well .... Who cares It is not like this is a competiton :)
birolabout this time, Birol is thinking he made a terrible mistake in starting this thread.[:)][;)][8D]
birolBirol, that s not bad for a first try. Keep at it and you ll soon be as looney (and amused at this stuff) as the rest of us. And it sure beats ugly talk![:)]
birolObviously ours was the ugly talk [>:]
Sometimes it is more important " how" things are said then " what" is being said.
I think I am going to take a few days off ...
birolSo Birol needs lessons Lym-ricking?
His tempo leaves the rhymes just sticking,
My good friend from Turkey,
With humor so perky,
Five lines with designs and you re clicking.
birolWe have lost our limerick zest
have I been a real pest ?
I invite everyone to start ryhming
lets get the limericks singing
birolThat was better Birol, and no you haven t been a pest. We always need something to perk us up, especially after we ve gone thru a bad patch. You have the spirit we love here on the board, very enthusiastic and energetic. Don t let things get you down, and remember that you can only please part of the people all of the time, or you can please all of the people part of the time, but you can t please all of the people all of the time.

birolThe newspaper guy calls me again
He wants to talk to see if we might both gain
There is no guarantee I might make tons of money
I tell him I am happy working for a small fee
We agree to sit down and have a coffee
He hopes there will be something for me
birolhey, great news! Well, the limerick wasn t so hot, but the possibility of a job is terrific!

Come on now, it was good eh ? no ? yes ? pleeease ? [:D][:D][:D]
