    fun limericks I used to write
    no matter what time, day or night
    but as I grew older
    I became much less bolder
    and to post them gives me quite a fright.

    This is a limerick I recently wrote and got approved on Oedilf.com

    On my credit report, what is shown?
    How I pay up my lease, cards and loan.
    (sigh) It's really no mystery,
    Based on my history,
    Why my good credit was blown.

    There was a young lady named Bessie,
    Who went to the Loch to see Nessie,
    She fell in the mud,
    With a terrible thud,
    So Nessie saw Bessie all messy.

    There was a young lady from China,
    Who went for a trip on a liner,
    She slipped on the deck,
    and twisted her neck,
    and now she can see right behind her.

    whenever I go to a meeting,
    I try to get preferential seating,
    not in front, but in back,
    so when contact it lacks,
    Nobody knows its CR threads I'm reading.

    I meant "so when content it lacks"
    and I even proofed it :(

    My kids and I were on a sled
    thrills n' giggles, cheeks shiny red
    we had a blast that day
    no work, just fun and play
    but now I gotta start earning some "bread”

    Lets get in the purim mode....I made this one up in honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar...everyone feel free to chip in!

    After being hit with dung,
    From a pail his daughter flung,
    Haman the beast,
    Went to a feast,
    And then on a tree he was hung!

    nice one Blinky! here's another l'kovod Haman!

    You thought you had scored that night
    When the king sought to reward a knight
    Royal Robes, a crown
    A ride through the town
    But the joke was on you, alright!

    THE SHTICKIEST POSTER IN THE ©®

    The story of Purim Part 1.

    Achashverosh the King of Shushan
    was descended from the Persian clan
    he made a great feast
    at which he released
    a most hideous and outrageous plan.

    That vashti his beautiful queen
    must come and let herself be seen
    wearing not a royal gown
    but a sparkling crown
    but vashti said no, thats obscene.

    The king stamped his foot with a bang
    and did his wife vashti harangue
    haman said across the land
    wives will ignore their hubby's command
    so I think vashti deserves to hang.

    After time the king did reminisce
    and vashti his queen he did miss
    so he called his wise men
    said he would marry again
    'go find the best beauty' he did hiss.

    I dont care if you must harass her
    make sure that you find her, dont pass her
    right across my empire
    bring me all you admire
    one of them went and spotted Hadassa.

    She was seized and shlepped off to the palace
    by soldiers who were filled with malice
    she tried to resist
    but her cries were dismissed
    by cruel troopers who were really callous.

    Other girls captured also did preen
    and smear with oil for a sheen
    Esther kept herself plain
    "from these things I abstain"
    achashverosh still chose her as queen.

    Mordechai heard bigson and seresh
    plotting to harm the king's flesh
    but cause mordechai knew every tongue
    they were found out and hung
    when in their plot they did enmesh.

    Then achashverosh did a silly thing
    he took from his finger his ring
    and gave it to haman
    who to kavod would run
    this made him into second to the king.

    Now haman was a real bad guy
    who held of himself very high
    to him all had to bow
    or get killed here and now
    so all did it except mordechai.

    This filled haman with a rage
    How dare he, that rude Jewish sage
    his anger was frothing
    all his power meant nothing
    I will kill him and turn a fresh page.

    PLEASE CONTINUE...

    He wanted to destroy the Jews fast,
    So lots Haman decided to cast,
    On Adar fourteen,
    Of Jews he'll be clean,
    So that no man, woman, or child will last.

    Shticky- you make it sound very scary when Esther was taken- i never thought of it that way...lol

    CONTINUE...

    Behold, on another thread Dr. Pepper just ==>spoke<==,
    No it’s not just another April fool’s ==>joke<==,
    “You must get a life”
    Ordered the wife,
    “Or a harsher sentence I will invoke”

    So if you have something you’d like to say-
    Post it here right now and don’t delay,
    It sure was fun,
    But I’m done
    I’ll still check in though till the end of the day.

    Dr. Pepper why are you gone?
    Are we devoid of life that causes the wife fright?
    What can we do to her convince?
    To give you a permission slip to stay?

    (Sorry this isn't in Limerick form.)

    The mods have yet to approve the post that was linked to in the first line. Once it is approved I think you'll understand.

    Thanks for your support.

    Well, I can't approve it since it has an email address. And I don't understand, since I apparently don't know what was going on in the background.
    But I'm sorry to see you go.

    like heavy lead, like a weighty stone

    Matzah hardens in you like plaster,
    Becoming a complete disaster.
    Why don't you choose,
    Whole wheat to use?
    It will digest much faster!

  23. ahoy, i am a new "poster"
    in limericks i desire to muster
    a rhyme that is funny
    and not too punny
    this is just an excuse to post faster.

    gastro docs really enjoy these yom tovs,
    their patients surely increase in droves,
    the matzah will bind those,
    who count until shavuos,
    the true meaning of "let my people go"?

    THE SHTICKIEST POSTER IN THE ©®

    Matzos are called lechem oni
    But look at the price - it's baloney
    They are so expensive
    Making us apprehensive
    So no wonder they make us so moany

    They are called the bread of the poor
    Cause they leave you with much less money than before
    The dough must not rise
    But the price? Lets be wise
    Every year it does rocket and soar

    This week don't forget to make,
    A key in your challah when you bake.
    Must be of cash lost,
    From the Pesach cost,
    And extra "dough" can ease the ache.

    As I sit up in the middle of the night
    Staying awake is a big fight
    But reading the CR is so entertaing
    Much information I am gaining
    I don't want to turn off the light

    This is my first post on this thread
    Words are flying through my head
    To think of a rhyme
    Doesn't take much time
    But I really should go to bed

    Elul is the month that we are in
    And missing Minyan is a big sin
    So to you I say good bye
    And please don't make me lie
    As I go to tuck myself in...

    "Rosh Hashanah is coming!", warned my wife

    THE SHTICKIEST POSTER IN THE ©®

    I gave a loud shout and a cheer
    When I saw the old limerick thread appear
    I came to drop in
    Before the Yom Hadin
    Which falls at the start of each year

    I have a request of my friends
    At the time that we all make amends
    With a plea quite overt
    That if you I did hurt
    Or did something that you thought offends

    Then I ask you רחמנים and ביישנים
    to practice some גמילות חסדים
    by being forgiving
    at what you find hard reliving
    and have pity כרחם אב על בנים

    I love coming here on this site
    for relaxation and not to fight
    but after the asifa
    I think about lot teefer
    and just want to do what is right

    so I have been staying away
    from things that could lead me astray
    ?after droshos so rousing
    on the dangers of browsing
    but I'm sure I'll be back here some day

    I thank every editor and moderator
    from recent to original creator
    much I have gained
    and I feel real pained
    there is no site that I like greater

    Hey Baal habooze
    I think I finaly got the rhyming to cruz
    But after having that drink that you advised
    I can't get my lines to be the right size
    So between the rhyming and the sillybles I now must choose

    hey TNIAT, you're getting there buddy

    think of a rhyme while sober
    then let the drinks take over
    please keep it short
    if not, just abort
    and try again next October

    Hey there Mr. Baal habooze
    your advice is a bit confused
    When sober I cant rhyme
    and when drunk not on time
    So I reversed your advice it Cruzed

    I love my subtitle!

    Yesterday I tried writing a limerick:
    There once was a girl named Honey
    tried to write limericks that were funny
    When they asked her why
    She said with a sigh

    "Hmmmm....what did she say?"
    "Who?" Asked my sister
    "The girl named Honey"
    "How should I know, and who names their girl Honey anyways?"
    "But it HAS to be honey, it can't be like batsheva or Shachar because NOTHING RHYME WITH BATSHEVA!!!!!!!!"
    "What in the world are you talking about you drama queen?"
    "I have no idea...."
    I think thats the last time I try to write a limerick.....

    You don't really have to be quick
    To write out a short limerick
    So Shopping613
    It's as easy as can be
    And really is not a big 'shtick'

    You're a poster with great discerning
    Show us how a limerick award you're earning
    You can be fantastic
    With the grace of a gymnastic
    Real soon some great limericks you'll be churning!

    You're like the schoolboy who lives in Japan
    His limericks they never would scan
    And when they asked him but why
    He would say with a sigh
    "It's because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can!"
