It seems I can not stop thinking
Even while eating or drinking
With rhymes times five
I would like to thrive
At this limericks a-making
Anyone have a better ending?

Mazel Tov on the wedding,
remember to bring with you bedding.
Give someone the map,
while you take a nap,
when to Baltimore you are heading.Posted 4 years ago # -
Whenever I start to try
I will never go cry
If I fail twice
Or be it thrice
Never is it bye, bye(שבע יפול צדיק וקום)

limericks are hard why are we here
i opened this thread while batting a tear
i really like the poetry thread
"so ill go back" is what i said
but the poetry thread was abondoned as i fear(ed)Posted 4 years ago # -
Thus far from what I have found,
the best one at rhyming a sound,
is called Daas Yochid,
its a takeover bid,
I think HE'S the best poet around!DY your lim to yossi is absolutely amazing! Keep it up!

Yossi,
Anyone have a better ending?
thus keeping my brain from shrinking?SG,
ThanksPosted 4 years ago # -
Yossi, you gave it a crack;
now you are getting the knack.
so I am inviting
you to keep on writing,
because you are on the right track.Posted 4 years ago # -
daas yochid you really have a skill
you can rhyme for parnassah and bill
believe me you would make a lot of cash
youd have a whole big stash
but im not so good so ill pop a pillPosted 4 years ago # -
Daas Yochid, you're really entertaining
With this limerick gaming
I thought I was a poet
But you're not even letting show it
You put my "poetic talent" to shaming.Posted 4 years ago # -
Yossi,
It seems I can not stop thinking
Even while eating or drinking
With rhymes times five
I would like to thrive
At this limericks a-makingAnyone have a better ending?
A tip; sometime with a good rhyme it's hard to find a good third match - so try switching it to the 3rd and 4th lines. For example:
I found something at which I thrive
to write a good limerick I strive.
I'm constantly thinking,
while eating and drinking,
how to do rhyming times five.Posted 4 years ago # -
It's snowing again in New York City,
Drivers and walkers I do pity,
The wind is blowing,
The inches are growing,
Making the world quite pretty!"I think HE'S the best poet around"- sniff sniff

Shticky Guy, chayav inish livisumay, smartcookie,
You're making it hard to stay humble,
although my words I often fumble.
And I'm even worse
when not talking in verse,
I then badly stammer and stumble!Posted 4 years ago # -
Blinky, please don't feel bad,
there's no reason you should be sad.
You started this thread,
and you're still way ahead.
Of that you should really be glad!Posted 4 years ago # -
Yay! I got approval from daas
:DAt first I didn't frickasee*
But now that I do see
How to rhyme
And do it in time
I will now say wheeee!!!!
Lol :D*if at first you don't fricasee fry, fry a hen
Daas: the whole point was that it was my fifth limerick (though each "stanza" is five lines ...)
This is fun! I am so glad I got "roped" into this!
Posted 4 years ago # -
Daas yochid may I correct
At driving I'd be a wreck
But for now I buss
So please don't fuss
I'll see you when I get backA driver's license I have
But it would be quite bad
For on no sleep
The streets I'd sweep
With any car I hadWheeee!!!! (Again) this is awesome!!! (And extremely fun and entertaining)

Here is an oldy
Adjusted to not be moldy
About a guy
Who went to lie
In bed as an old fogeyIt's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He bumped his head
Went back to bed
And didn't get up 'till morningPosted 4 years ago # -
We have salad for supper on this Wednesday afternoon
& eggplant parmigiana which I'll prepare soon
You can all come and taste
& get some fat on your waist
Just bring a fork & spoon!Posted 4 years ago # -
Today for lunch I had spaghetti
it took half an hour to get ready.
I sometimes eat fish,
as my main dish,
but pasta is more of a steady.Posted 4 years ago # -
I sit here with plenty to do
Paid work and paying bills too
So why am I checkin'
The CR every second?
Does this ever happen to you?Posted 4 years ago # -

Homeward bound, hey ho

And you wish to make use of your brains.There is one particular thread,
Where some are just too scared to tread,
Its for only the gifted,
Who feel uplifted,
By showing that they're miles ahead.It must be the limerick competition,
Where those who have skill and ambition,
Can prove their great strength,
By discussing at length,
Any topic of their own volition.So click on it now and peruse,
To read our opinions and news,
And once you've meandered,
And seen our standard,
You can then try to send us your views.From the opening poster called blinky,

I'm sorry that I came so late,
and for me you did have to wait.
Your list did not finish,
i.e. chayav inish;
of others left out there's a spate.Posted 4 years ago # -
Oh the frigid winter days,
At the snow i do gaze,
My breath does froth,
As i dream of warm broth,
In bed i just want to laze!Posted 4 years ago # -
Shticky Guy,
To mention some others we shall,
we don't want to leave out a pal.
You did mention Oomis,
with poems too good to miss,
but what happened to Minyan Gal?We should not omit Flatbush Dude,
doing so would be quite rude.
And old Mr. 80,
who could be my zaidy,
has given us some thoughtful food.I have to leave now really quick,
so please help me out, Guy of Shtick,
name some more rhymers,
especially old timers,
and help finish this limerick.Posted 4 years ago # -
I've noticed something quite strange,
The limerickers names did change,
Abbreviated form,
Seems to be the norm,
So for my name can you also arrange?Smatcookie became SC,
Yossi is shortened to YZ,
Daas Yochid- DY,
SG for Shticky Guy,
But what can you do with Blinky?Posted 4 years ago # -
I really don't see why
Blinky should have to cry
So I was thinking
Why aren't we making
Her/his name B dash YPosted 4 years ago # -
The answer, B-Y, to your quest,
which you only made in jest:
in our names, words two,
but just one for you.
You thus differ from the rest.Posted 4 years ago # -
Blinky, why do you say I became SC
Oh my! that cannot be
They won't know I'm smartest
And that I love cookies to the heartest
Smartcookie is what I still see.Posted 4 years ago # -
On abbreviated screen names for Blinky,
You said you cant have but lets see,
By your name does appear,
The sub Blinquie so its clear,
That from now you'll be known as BB!I was sure when I started my list,
There would be obvious names that I missed,
So I apologise,
To those talented guys,
It was an oversight I insist!So sorry to you chayav inish,
I re-read my post with astonish,
I did add you 1st time,
Then reworded my rhyme,
I must buy you a bottle of Glenfiddich.I did not include minyan gal,
I wait for her without mazal,
She has talent real decent,
But nothing of recent,
Which is a tremendous chaval.Regarding my dear Mod 80,
He said he finds this thread too weighty,
So him I did not write,
Not at all out of spite,
It is nothing personal, matey.Regarding leaving out flatbush dude,
I'm sorry that I was so rude,
You have also been quiet,
A limerick diet?,
What's up? Are you not in the mood?To anyone else that I missed,
Its not fair that you I dismissed,
You are all just great,
And have added real weight,
To this thread so keep on and persist.Posted 4 years ago # -
Many more “poster”s were seen
i.e. “emoticon613”
we had “bpt”,
(then BP Totty)
and also the Persian Queen.Let's not forget “stamagoy”,
nor someone who is “not I”
which reminds me of,
"Imanonov”
and “Bracha the great” had a try.I cannot leave off of my list,
the Modern Chareidi Zionist
The best name, I think,
is “Ticheled Pink”
and "H Newman" really got the gist.To be continued...

Hooray for daas yochid
Trying to help every yid
Who posted here
To be fair
Now everyone can have a bidPosted 4 years ago # -
It used to be such a bore
To clean the kitchen floor
But now that I'm here
It is with such cheer
I ask how can I help morePosted 4 years ago # -
As I go on with this ode,
I mention “vnishmartemmeod”.
We're proud that this thread,
has no loshon hora said,
mutual respect always showed.“Wolfish Musing” the way was paving,
his limerick to read we were craving;
but it was aborted,
and now we feel shorted,
So I left off the last “s” for saving.“HashemLovesMe” and I love Him,
“Dr. Pepper” keeps me fit and trim.
“I Can Only Try”,
to avoid a lie,
that's why “mssekker” is “frim”.A “thinking jew” takes “NoNonsense”,
“basmelech” put in her two cents.
“Goldielox” made a stab,
as did “berisbab”
so “helpful”, ladies and gents."Ken Zayn" that I am a naysayer,
but I'll say only good 'bout “LAer”,
“Well Informed Yid”,
a nice rhyme he did,
that I “seeallsides” is my prayer.This poem has taken a week,
I think that enough I did speak.
I can take my pension,
once I do mention,
“Baal Boose”, and just one more, “squeak”.Now I must this poem conclude;
I hope I was not misconstrued.
If I left you out,
please give me a shout,
and next time I'll try to include.Posted 4 years ago # -
What to do, what to do, what to do
On nothing I have what to chew
I could go to bed
But I think instead
I will stay here with youPosted 4 years ago # -
Good night to you, my dear Yoss,
go to sleep without making a fuss.
Although you're inspired,
you must be real tired,
from yesterday's trip on the bus!I hope that the chasunah was nice,
and nobody slipped on the ice.
Outside all is frosted,
and I am exhausted,
so for tonight, this will suffice.Posted 4 years ago # -
Daas yochid I must inquire
Do you think I did not retire?
I slept all day
And did not play
And now I am quite wiredThe chasuna was quite nice
Thankfully there was no ice
Though cars got stuck
Also a truck
But the bus not for a triceI drank nothing with caffeine
From that I think I'm weaned
Most of the time
(I will not whine)
Too distracted even to readI know I went one over
But please be a good "chover"
I couldn't find
A better rhyme
To bring my point right overPosted 4 years ago # -
Daas I just realized
Why you made your rhyme
From the time
I made mine
It became second to onePosted 4 years ago # -
Oops that is a bit embarrassing. I would like to replace that last one with:
Daas I now realize
Why you made your rhyme
'Tis plain to see
That before me
There was yours in timePosted 4 years ago # -
Oh my! Look at the time!
The fault now would be mine
Go now with speed
For I need
To wake up before nineLimericks wane and wax
Don't worry I'll be back
After shul
And then school
At more I'll give a crackPosted 4 years ago # -
I'm jumping and shouting hurray
At this most fantastic display
From the lim at the top
The new posts didnt stop
We have filled a whole page in 1 day!!!If you look at the previous pages
Filling them all up took ages
Only once in a while
A new lim you would file
But right now the flow simply ragesLet us all keep up the pace
Of this mega limerick race
We could even say
Lets do a 'daf' each day
In this the thread most ace===
Daas and yossi: amazing stuff esp the names one!
Ladies: WHERE ARE YOU ALL?
Posted 4 years ago # -
