Limericks Live!

I wish I'd been born with grand wings
The feeling that smooth soaring brings
But maybe I'd molt

I wish I'd been born with grand wings
The feeling that smooth soaring brings
But maybe I'd molt
'til I feel like a dolt

I wish I'd been born with grand wings
The feeling that smooth soaring brings
As I'd flit and I'd flutter
I'd cause folks to shudder
'Cause along with the wings I'd have stings!

I wish I'd been born with grand wings
The feeling that smooth soaring brings
But maybe I'd molt
'til I feel like a dolt
Then exit after packing my things.


(Edit: Use the dog on a log prompt...)

Have we regained our sanity, yet?

I'm glad I stayed out of that fray. We need some rules for this thread. :faint:

A dog on a log in a bog
Got busy digging dirt in his blog

You're not wrong, Meaney. Too much for this one-track mind to follow. (By the way, what's with the different font all the time? Huh? Huh?)

A dog on a log in a bog
Got busy digging dirt in his blog <-- attention, meter police
But a hog in the fog

A dog on a log in a bog
Got busy digging dirt in his blog
But a hog in the fog
Began dialogue

(Meter police? Speaking of literary law enforcement, let's get the rhyme gendarmes in here. Limericks go "aabba," not "aaaaa.")

Got busy digging dirt in his blog
But a hog in the fog
Began dialogue
With "Welcome, friends! Have an egg nog!"

Transcriptionists met in Missouri
where native handwriting is blurry.
But they all persevered
With notations so weird

Transcriptionists met in Missouri
where native handwriting is blurry.
But they all persevered
With notations so weird
That the state gave up trial by jury

Franklin Gothic. Great name for a character, no?


If you eat everything on your plate
And to Sunday school never are late,
and you always say please,

If you eat everything on your plate
And to Sunday school never are late,
and you always say please,
you might start to wheeze

If you eat everything on your plate
And to Sunday school never are late,
and you always say please,
you might start to wheeze
in a holy and satisfied state.

You can not buy our house for a dime
It is worth more than that
