RE: Limerick Thread

[birol]

 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

[Gamecock Camper]

 birol
Come on birol, you can t start a limerick post without posting one yourself....

[birol]

 Gamecock Camper
Yeah 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

[NightOwl]

 birol
Birol 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!

birol 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.)

 birol
STOPHER--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.

Some 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.

[wiininkwe]

 birol
Can 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!

[wiininkwe]

 birol
To 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

[birol]

 birol
Clicque 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

[NightOwl]

 birol
about this time, Birol is thinking he made a terrible mistake in starting this thread.[][][8D]

[NightOwl]

 birol
Birol, 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![]

[birol]

 birol
Obviously 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 ...

So 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.

[birol]

 birol
We have lost our limerick zest
 have I been a real pest ?
 I invite everyone to start ryhming
 lets get the limericks singing
