Forever's a long time a-coming
more so if you've got dodgy plumbing
or a neck that won't work
and a man who's a jerk

whose one skill is only ride thumbing.

Snow sneaked silently down the mountain

Hm... missing a limericky sort of meter, there, threedogpeople. Could I propose:

Down the mountain the silent snow sneaked

A bit tongue-twisty, but the meter fits. :)

interjection -- carry on!

The meters these days are so radical
That my brain aches; I'll take a sabbatical
I'll return here betimes
to contribute new rhymes
that are lyrical, not just grammatical.

Our meter’s so bad that you’re leaving,
And our hearts are now sad with the grieving;
If we get back on track,
Don’t forget to come back
To help with the limerick conceiving!

The lift lines are growing

I'd rather toss coins in a fountain!

[we did finish this and others; they were lost in the AW database restore. It's forum-wide]

Flattery will get you somewhere

The completed limericks from the former forum:

Flattery will get you somewhere
- if you're lucky, the Folies Bergères -
But choose your words well
And try not to smell
I'll find something warm we can share...

I wound up in King Arthur's court
In the halls of old Camelot's fort
I ran into Merlin
while sneaking a girl in
and now she's the new queen consort.

The painter of nude portraits balked
When Jill asked to be penciled or chalked,
For he worked in oils
and painted the Royals
through his windows which were all well caulked.

The furnace repairman was mainly
A nut case, for he, quite insanely,
would furnish a filter
that was all out of kilter
and, being a shrub, quite ungainly.

But what I prefer
is to be with a her
with no chance of a curt "au contraire"

That's plenty of time, I must say.
In the meantime, who's boss here?

Or whoever's willing to pay?
