I've just recently discovered the joy of this--and somehow it's much more fun done as a group effort--not to mention I'm just not smart enough to make up very many of them alone.

So if you love a limerick, jump write in with a line of your own!

I'll start:

One night at a tawdry casino...


Now if someone else will kindly supply another line, we'll be off and running!

.....it was packed from wall to wall with people and the air was filled with talking, laughing, drinking, and lots of cigar smoke, when all of a sudden....

Toto, it isn't a story. It's a limerick. Stories go somewhere else.

One night at a tawdry casino
A waitress spilled gallons of vino
 

Melina

Oh,

I guess I was too late with that line. It's probably better that way, I was headed in a crude direction.

Heck--if ya think of a good first line, Melina, slap it up there! (Or anyone else, for that matter) Don't wait for me, for heaven's sake.

A charming young lassie from Barstow

Broke the heart of a laddie from Glasgow

When she scoffed at his kilt

He was ticked, to the hilt...

But his kilt still showed hilt from his love-glow.

This is a hoot! :jump

Okay, let's see what you do with this one:

I rode a jackass named DeWayne

Re: Limerick

I can't do anything with that one, because it doesn't have the rhythm of a limerick line. Sigh.

How about...

I rode a jackass named DeWayne
through the house of my ex-wife Elaine

Re: Limerick

This is some kind of verse, but not a limerick. I'll try.

I rode a jackass named DeWayne
through the house of my ex-wife Elaine
she had it coming, 'cause
A lousy cook, she was.

It's always good to bust out of the mold, even just by a "foot" or two, Reph :snoopy

I rode a jackass named DeWayne
through the house of my ex-wife Elaine
she had it coming, 'cause
A lousy cook, she was.
And never at home to complain!
