    I walked a few miles today
    I hope some weight went away
    Wouldn't it be neat
    To just press DELETE
    And NEXT and then OK?

    (Select number of pounds you wish to DELETE PERMANENTLY)

    I like that one eclipse, here is a similiar one with a computer theme

    When you INSERT your food please don't race,
    You do not have to stuff your face,
    You need self CONTROL,
    Not to have another bowl,
    Because you can't just press BACKSPACE!

    I'm gonna start a Fat Gemach
    You're welcome to drop in
    Take all the "pounds"
    Weighing me down
    So I can just be thin!

    P.S. Is exaggerating for a limerick muttar?

    Those computer ones were great. Here's a fantastic math one. Get out your calculators and try it!
    A dozen, a gross and a score,
    Plus three times the square root of four,
    Divided by seven,
    Plus five times eleven,
    Equals nine square plus zero, no more!

    My favorite thread is credited to Shticky
    Although I confess my tastes are not Picky
    But when the choice is between
    News, Gossip or Daily Routine
    I’m happy I can try to wax Limericky

    I missed the eclipse that was lunar
    I wish I'd awakened much sooner.
    But I was so tired
    That in sleep I was mired,
    And didn't get up until noon-er.

    But your gone awhile,
    And I miss your style,
    Please come back we need you!

    It is a matter of great pride
    That to all limerickers I confide
    I have found a good place
    In the thread thats most ace
    I no longer just look from outside

    The posters in this Limerick race
    Show a really advanced knowledge base
    So I'm happy it to promote
    Though the last ones I wrote
    Were just after my school relay race!

    Its now like a proper affliction
    And I hope this wont cause family friction
    Cos I cant get enough
    Like tobacco or snuff
    I've developed a real addiction

    I have stopped all my work philanthropic
    And started to seach microscopic
    For limericks that click
    Like a conjuring trick
    Keeping this the top discussion topic!

    I do exaggerate just a bit
    Cos it doesnt take long to submit
    A few short words of verse
    In which I can disperse
    A few lines of rhyme complete with wit!

    *Phew!*

    Im not the one to complain,
    But this is totally insane,
    I can't seem to end,
    This limerick trend,
    It keeps busy my brain.

    Any one else feel the same???

    Smartcookie- forgot to thank you:) I like it too!

    Shticky- its so nice to see a male with a poetic flair. Yikes! i better get out of here fast....

    To oomis and her crews.
    Lots of hatzlacha.
    On this beautiful bracha.
    A wonderful addition to the Jews.

    Not quite a limerick, but a nice sentiment.

    Yippee for the weather forecast
    Dont look at me so aghast
    I wont bat an eyelid
    If you call me a kid
    But I tell you I'm having a blast

    From my yard's edge to hedge
    I'm gonna make you a pledge
    I will have the best fun
    As I try to outrun
    All my neighbours on my daughters sledge

    For all of you who have a fear
    Dont worry I know how to steer
    I will be in a trance
    Cos this is the last chance
    Of me playing with some snow this year

    In the unfortunate absence of Minyan Gal, (where are you?), Minyan Guy will have to step in so here goes:

    In the sedras of שמות and וארא
    The jews had a שעבוד יתירה
    משה went to the nile
    And פרעה he did rile
    When he asked to be let out במהרה

    In this weeks sedra called Bo
    He again asked "Let my people go"
    Cos if you dont then takker
    You'll receive another makka
    But the stubbon king just said "NO!"

    So H' sent in swarms of locust
    that covered th ground like dust
    They came with a gale
    Eating what remained from the hail
    פרעה said Please remove them, you must

    So משה davenned and they went
    and פרעה he tried to repent
    But he could play no more part
    cos H' hardened his heart
    So to free the Jews he could not consent

    Next came darkness - no sun's rays
    And beleive me it was more than a haze
    The dark they could feel
    It was such a big deal
    That no Mitzri could move for 3 days

    FInally משה did warn
    Of the killing of every 1st born
    Bloody doorposts showed whose
    Were the homes of the Jews
    Every Mitzri, even פרעה, did mourn

    פרעה ran out in his night dress
    But couldnt find משה's address
    SO the kids they did play
    Sending פרעה astray
    They had fun with his Royal Highness

    Suddenely משה he found
    But when he said GO NOW, משה frowned
    They went only next morning
    פרעה chased without warning
    And into the Yam Suf they drowned

    The lesson from all this is clear
    At my limerick dont sneer but cheer
    Writing this is gr8 fun
    SO come on everyone
    But please dont put it off till next year!

    Looking for shelter

    A wonderful sight met my eyes
    It was a fantastic suprise
    Its been so quiet for a while
    But limericks are now back in style
    And the best ones for sure are Shticky Guy's

    To his poetry i was humming
    And couldnt stop my feet drumming
    You have a great gift
    So dont cut us adrift
    Shticky Guy please keep them coming!

    The reason for quiet, is clear
    Our people are nervous, I fear.
    New topics are needed
    And caveats heeded,
    To not critique posts that appear.

    In Chodesh Shevat the trees we treat
    For their foods that we eat
    On the day of "Tu"
    We say Shehechiyanu,
    Before eating their fruits so sweet!

    A gutten Rosh chodesh Shevat!

    P.S. Maybe someone can spiff it up. It doesn't have that limerick rythmn but i wanted to write one in honor of rosh chodesh shevat....Any limerickers out there?

    Did you go to the concert of Hasc
    I couldnt so I want to ask
    Did it compare
    With a previous year
    Did Lippa behave or make a trask

    Were the majority of songs fast or slow
    Were they new or from a long time ago
    Did they have a cantor
    Or maybe an enchantor
    Or was there a different style of show

    Is your best singer Shwekey
    Or do you prefer YBC
    its a matter of opinion
    But for me there's no dimyan
    The king has to be MBD

    Sticky, that was great, as usual!!

    When I saw Hasc's ad, I said IM GOING
    Didn't care if it was raining or snowing
    But I remembered too late
    No more tickets under the $500 rate
    I was all upset and blowing :(

    the month of adar is fast approaching

    Drinking too much is no good
    Though on Purim some hold that you should
    but please be wise
    on this day of disguise
    and don't drink more than you could

    Everyone says don't drink and drive
    If you want to stay alive
    But this needs ink:
    Don't drive to drink!!
    And sober you will home arrive.

    A warm welcome to ticheled pink
    You wrote a gr8 limerick i think
    Some people are too shy
    I cannot understand why
    Treating limericks like a slippery ice rink

    You need just to utilise your kop
    To come up with stuff that is top
    Simply think for a while
    Then start writing with guile
    This will yield limericks that will not flop

    So come and write something specific
    And become another limericker prolific
    Just be a bit shrewd
    And you'll be a cool dude
    Posting in lines that are just terrific

    My dear Chayavinishlivisumay
    It sounds like to you Purim is THE day
    Drinking wine, whiskey or liquor
    Until absolutely shikker
    Its a chiyuv, its a mitzva, you say.

    But remember when you drink your l'chaim
    To behave as Yaakov asked Menashe and Efraim
    So go have a great time
    But remember this rhyme
    And your deeds should be sincerely l'shem shamayim!

    You might faint of shame
    At the end of the game
    By whatever you did while shikur
    Since "nichnas yayin

    So go easy on the liquor!

    let ur kid drink all day and night
    its not worth putting up a fight

    so u might as well let
    so to all u against drinking go fly a kite

    Chayav,why is MY thread "depressing"
    When drinking you are always stressing?
    "Candy is dandy
    But liquor is quicker"
    BUT LIFE GOING BY IN A BLUR IS DISTRESSING!

    We can't figure out who you are
    So I will go out on a limb pretty far
    To tell you:Not fine
    Are obsessions with wine
    I know many lives ruined by the bar...

    eclipse those rhymes were pretty witty
    but u i really pity
    cuz its a great fealin
    when you r way above the ceilin(G)
    in a whole different city

    thats what ints like when ur drunk
    cuz getting drunk means u have spunk
    its a feeling worth having
    cuz all day ull be laughing
    JUST CUZ UR DRUNK DOESNT MEAN UR A PUNK

    I remember Purim in my Yeshiva days
    Nothing people said could us faze
    Cos we bochurim knew best
    So to hell with the rest
    We continued with our rowdy ways
    .
    We felt that we bochurim were elite
    So we behaved as we wished in the street
    Purim was all about us
    So why did guys make a fuss
    If we were drunk and made children retreat
    .
    All was muttar cos we were not boys but men
    But when we looked thru Purim pictures in our den
    We saw guys lying in vomit
    Like they'd come from another comet
    And we vowed that we'd never do it again
    .
    As Hashem's sons we hadnt behaved
    We had acted too wild and depraved
    To shout and to jeer
    To jump up and to snear
    It wasnt the result we had craved
    .
    So in future Purims we acted
    In a way that was much less distracted
    We still always had a blast
    Our fun was still unsurpassed
    But from everyone else's day we hadnt detracted
