A Limerick Thread
Here's a nicely asinine thread stolen from the recently mentioned I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue: each person posts a line of a standard five-line limerick. An example stolen from wikipedia:
On the breast of a barmaid named Gail, Were tattoo'd the prices of ale. And on her behind, for the sake of the blind, was the same, but written in Braille. I think it would work best if we stuck relatively closely to that sort of metre. Also, everyone's restricted to one line per limerick. Apologies if this has already been done here. EDIT: The first lines of limericks always send a chill up my spine. The fact that I instigated it here will make this even harder to live down. (I should also note that they don't have to start with "There once was a man named...", but it's good for an initial test.) Last edited by omloflump; 12-06-2006 at 07:15 AM. |
