Scared Monkeys Discussion Forum

I have NO idea if this will work out, but we seem to be enjoying this thread, so let's give this a try. Add a line to a limerick. A limerick is 5 lines with a distinctive cadence and rhyme pattern. The first, second and fifth line end in rhyming words. The second and third lines end in words that rhyme with each other. It sounds harder than it is. Here's an example:

(Post One) There once was a young girl named Jill.
(Post Two) Who was scared by the sight of a drill.
(Post Three) She brushed every day
(Post Four) So her dentist would say,
(Post Five) “Your teeth are so perfect; no bill.”

OK, Let's get started and when the 5 lines are complete, the next poster can start another:

He was laughed at by Lenny

New one

It is often said of those old

It worked! Good Old Leonard showed up
In hand were his hat & a cup
With a grin on his face
