Limericks Live!

I can't get the hang of this system,
If there were instructions, I missed 'em,
Were they flushed down the bog?

I can't get the hang of this system,
If there were instructions, I missed 'em,
Were they flushed down the bog?
Well "No!.", 'cause they're 'logged!

I can't get the hang of this system,
If there were instructions, I missed 'em,
Were they flushed down the bog?
Well "No!.", 'cause they're 'logged!
So this poster will now try to list 'em!

1. Enter one line only.
2. Each line should fit the pattern for a limerick (Lines 1,2, and 5 rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 rhyme; see above postings for meter)
3. Poster of line 5 also posts line 1 of next limerick.

And now we will all write a lim'rick

And now we will all write a lim'rick
Let athletes show off with a gym trick

And now we will all write a lim'rick
Let athletes show off with a gym trick
A writer's best muscle

And now we will all write a lim'rick
Let athletes show off with a gym trick
A writer's best muscle
Lies next to her bustle

And now we will all write a lim'rick
Let athletes show off with a gym trick
A writer's best muscle
Lies next to her bustle
And can't be done in with a pin prick.

A kindly young man from Easthampton
Liked listening to Peter Frampton
But he found out one day
No guitar could he play
So he sang about caves he'd camped in

A kindly young man from Easthampton
Liked listening to Peter Frampton
But he found out one day
No guitar could he play
So he twiddled his thumbs in a mansion.

A beautiful young maiden approached him
and of course saw that he needed some 'coaching' (by the way)!

(Sara--you did a great limerick, but I think poetinahat just beat you to the punch, so we'll go with his...)

An adulterous, lecherous dude
Gave Sally a sideways glance lewd

(We can have two going at once. When one of them ends, the game gets back on track.)


As a beautiful young maiden approached him
He recalled how his father had coached him


An adulterous, lecherous dude
Gave Sally a sideways glance lewd
Now, Sally was willing

(This one makes me chafe against the "one line only" rule. I wish I could finish it.)

Go ahead, Reph. You've earned it!

The rule was that if the last person posted the 4th line, they would be able to start the 1st!!!!
Remember?

The problem is, what happens when people post at the same time? poetinahat finished a limerick in post #411, and you finished the same one in post #412. The one he started goes like this:

An adulterous, lecherous dude
Gave Sally a sideways glance lewd
Now, Sally was willing
For less than a shilling
So he gave her tuppence, and they scr...


The one you started has this much so far:

Now that's a limerick!
(for mine, the rhythm works a bit better with "two bob" instead, but now I'm just being a wet blanket)

Now for Sara's (Wet blanket asks: can we remove one syllable from first line?):

He recalled how his father had coached him

roses off the top (of) your head"-oops!
Sorry, couldn't help myself 'listen'.
There is quite often something I'm not willing to be missin'!
It's too much fun and keeps me from putting myself to sleep.
YAK yAK Yak!

poet-hat, isn't two bob more than a shilling?

As a beautiful young maiden approached him
He recalled how his father had coached him
"Prepare yourself, Junior,
She'll be looking to prune your
Azaleas, though no plant's encroached 'em."

He slipped on the soap in the shower
