    there is a chiyuv called chayavinishlivisumay
    it is something that the rabbis say
    but do it with bottle of wine
    have seven eight or nine
    cuz wine is the right way

    some do it with beer
    and others i fear
    do it with hard stuff
    cuz they think they are tough
    but thats not what the rabbis say

    shticky guy-

    You should become a writer for kids maybe like a Jewish version of Dr. suess or something, you really have the talent. If you do, let us know- ill be the first to buy! Anyone else think the same?

    The Hasc concert i did not attend,
    So we will just have to ammend,
    Suppose Lipa and Schwekey,
    Sang with Dedi,
    That sounds like a nice blend!

    Shticky- all of them! (i was reffering to the ones with the numbers in them)

    Mod 80- if you don't follow rules of the limerick,
    We'll close this thread real quick
    You've got to follow correctly each line
    Then you'll do just fine
    & yours will be the CR's pick!

    MOd 80 and smartcookie did feud

    Limericks are 5 lined patterned rhyme
    the first two rhyme and are 8 or 9
    syllables are 5 or 6
    for the 3rd & 4th mix
    then the last line with the first 2 do rhyme

    Mod 80 is a bit of a fopper
    When he posts in here limericks that flop-er
    We know you are bright
    So our pages dont blight
    when you are AT LEAST AS GOOD AS POPPA

    It may come as a suprise to you
    That poppa and mod 80 have the same IQ
    So I'll tell you a secret
    And I hope you can keep it
    For they are but one person, not two!

    Limericks are hard on the head,
    that's why there's a poetry thread.
    It's hard to rhyme twice,
    impossible thrice!
    That's why I'll stay there instead.

    My car is still by the mechanic,
    and now I am in a real panic.
    Oh what should I do,
    my kids have the flu,
    but I can't get to Dr. Shanek!

    There once once a chossid from Willy,
    who went to go learn in Philly.
    but let's not confuse
    the two types of Jews
    a chassidishe litvak is silly!

    Chayav, your issue is weighty.
    Are you a man or a lady?
    So go see a shrink,
    or at least have a drink,
    so that you won't be so far-dreit-y!

    On Shabbos, the cholent we eat,
    is a very special treat.
    But my tummy's now pained,
    oh the calories I gained,
    from barley, potatoes and meat.

    I now must spend my hard earned gelt,
    because I am no longer svelte.
    I'll go in my Chevy,
    cause now I'm so heavy,
    that I need a new "cholent belt".

    Shabbos, the holiest of days,
    a good Yid learns, and he prays.
    To feed the "neshomo y'seiro"
    is not an aveiro,
    but the "guf y'seiro", it stays.

    My asthma causes my wheezing,

    Daas Yochid- don't kid yourself please
    Its not the Cholent that makes us sneeze
    The cholent has beans which is protien
    & some meat thats quite lean
    It's the Challah that makes us gain weight in a breeze.

    chayav, I just saw your post,

    I'm just having some fun;
    this thread is a limerick host.

    Shitcky guy if I'm not mistaken
    You asked that this thread should not be forsaken
    So I wrote this one for you
    I hope it will do
    & I'll try some more limericks to make'n.

    A mega limericker has suddenely appeared
    Who writes fantastic limericks 5-tiered
    Daas yochid is his name
    And he's gr8 at this game
    Why he's just come along recently is wierd!

    Yes not long ago this thread was dying
    Go check and you'll see I'm not lying
    There were gaps of a week
    So your help I did seek
    And right now its just absolutely FLYING!

    Thus far from what I have found,
    the best at rhyming a sound,
    is someone who's shticky,
    and although I'm picky,
    I think he's the best poet around!

    THE SHTICKIEST POSTER IN THE ©®

    Da'as yochid's efforts I dont want to miss,
    But I must draw the line at this,
    Its no good for my ga'aiveh,
    You'll give me a ta'aiveh,
    For much more than a shmini she'bishminis.

    Saying I'm the best POET is the wrong thing said,
    When I limericked amongst Poems bitten was my head,
    Cos limericks are the best,
    Way ahead of the rest,
    Thats why I was told post only in THIS thread.

    A burglar through my door once burst
    Ready to burgle his worst

    That he found such a mess
    He thought someone had gotten in first.

    Daas Yochid, you've turned an Irish art into a Jewish vehicle for truth through fun.

    I'm sorry if I told the truth,
    it's something I've done since my youth.
    But please don't be haughty,
    'cause that's very naughty,
    and some would say that it's uncouth.

    If ga'ava's not your favorite flavor,
    I was just returning the favor;
    You spoke well of me,
    undeservedly,
    and kovod I also do savor.

    antelope110,
    Thanks for the compliment, but the credit is due Blinky. In other words:

    Thank you for your words so nice,
    and for adding to this thread some spice.
    But Blinky is earning
    the credit for turning
    a limerick into a Jewish device.

    Who write limericks again and again
    We want all of you to join in
    Come on and BEGIN

    :D yossi :D

    I started to read this thread
    And then began my head
    Reading and flying
    Thinking and rhyming
    All while laying in bed!

    It is now two in the morn
    My head is all in a swarm
    For limericks I try
    From nine to five
    And if I can help it, some more

    It seems that I have got stuck
    Here all in a muck
    Reading and writing
    Timing and rhyming
    Oh no! It is time to get up!

    How was that?

    Posted 4 years ago #
  48. DaasYochid
    a singular mind

    Yossi, it was a nice try,
    but your poems just did not fly.
    Not bad the timing,
    but awful the rhyming,
    When I saw them, I said, “OH! MY!”

    So I will let you know the rules,
    (I went to four limerick schools).
    These rules you must follow,
    or else you’ll sound hollow,
    so here are some important tools.

    A limerick’s a rhyme that’s complex,
    it must fit into certain specs,
    Lines 1,2, with 5
    and 3 with 4 jive,
    and there is not much room to flex.

    The first and the second line,
    may not have more sounds than 9.
    Lines 3 and 4
    cannot have more
    than five, for the limerick to shine.

    With one more rule I will proceed,
    the final line may not exceed,
    syllables seven,
    for limerick heaven,
    and now you know how to succeed!

    Your effort, I really commend;
    my words, I hope, do not offend.
    Now try it, don’t wait;
    don’t stay up too late!
    You’ll surely succeed in the end!!
