How About a Limerick?

(Here are two lines, with which to begin...)

There once was a girl from Pawtucket
Who got her head stuck in a bucket

* * * * *

So she gave a loud shout,
And to any one around she said FUCKIT]

Hooray!  A successful outcome!  

Would you like to propose some lines for strings, ROze?

BUT HEY anyone got anymore??lets go start one! uh?

Well, like that silly one above, a limerick is a single quintet rhyming AABBA and written in anapestic measures.  Accentual-syllabic...  a limerick always rattles along in this characteristic way... the A lines are long and the B lines are short, and the thing ends up where it began, so to speak, with that last line rhyming with the first.  There's a sense of conclusion, of arrival.  I like limericks to be saucy, as well, and they usually are.  Sometimes the last line, line five, is but a modified repetition of the first.  I just wanted to get somebody to say "fuck it" in that example above, little bastard which I am!  And they did.  Had to.  All my loving greetings to all.

Oh yes, please do join in here and everywhere; I am delighted you have come to be among us here.  You are truly welcome and appreciated.  My sister Dara and I were both so pleased when you came to join us.  Just our sort of person you are.  Welcome once again and merry meet, my friend.

There once was a girl in Illinois
Who down deep in her heart was a boy
And so she arranged
To have her sex changed
That dear little boy in Illinois

Forgive me for this, my friends and fellow poets; I just wanted to quickly sketch out a sort of "demo" limerick, for reference purposes.  

There once was a limerick writer
who wanted to link his words tighter.

There once was a limerick writer
who wanted to link his words tighter.
With thoughts running through his mind,
getting crossed and leaving everyone behind.
Who is this limerickering writer and why can't I make his words tighter?

i once knew a man from nantucket
whose d*ck was so long he could s*ck it
he said with a grin, as he wiped off his chin,
"if me ear were a c*nt, i would f*ck it!!"

hehe...

sorry...but i just think that's funny...

Here is one I wrote a while back. Perhaps you will have fun with it. It is not as naughty though.

"But, your my friend"

I met a young lady named Lydia,
Who liked to dabble in trivia.

She was quite wise, and soon she surmised
An education she was seeking.

So with fire and zest she started her quest.
Not knowing where it would lead her.

As her studies progressed and she became a success

She met a young man named Dennis who thought himself a menace.

But she thought he was nice, full of sugar and spice.

Who had a young boy who brought great joy
Whenever he played with a toy.

One day she said he was romantic,
And Dennis well, became frantic.

Oh, what a silly man he is.

So with a glass of wine she took some time
To drop this young man a line.

But he was no fool he was just trying to be cool.

So with a glass of beer and a hearty good cheer he said
"But you’re my friend!”

Ha Ha I posted this before I registered now can't correct the last line that became corrupted oh well

I didn't want to stop this line. Just wanted to give an example of a longer softer style. A limrick does not have to be short and naughty. Just a rhyming fast pace.  It is a fun style.
