Because I posted this in the wrong thread....


The ranger warned us of a guy
Who was tailing us all, oh my!
He planned to sneak on up
and to meet us closeup.
Oh no! Who was he? A cult spy?

We looked for a hat that said Scion
Or was it a hat marked with Zion?
(Those rangers' accents were thick)
We were so scared we felt sick.
So we hoped the spy was just Brian.

So Obsy was bored and yet chatty, and the interludes make him so batty, that he acts like a dick, and speaks in lim-er-ick, until blah blah blah random word: fatty.

Quote:


General IRC Chat-Related

I'm "bored", as americans say,
so i'm sticking to limericks today,
and hard as it seems,
to keep running this theme,
it's harder to stay quiet all day.

Once a limerick to write i was struggling,
all the words and syntax i was juggling,
'til at last i lost hope, and rhymed "ballsack" with "rope",
and then all of the judges were puzzling.

Of Sid my opinion was higher,
Than to think he'd turn into a liar,
'till he acted all slicky,
said he'd fixed up the wiki,
and his pants now are surely on fire

So in writing up new things to say
to keep limericks a'flowin' today
all this typing and rhyming
has fucked up my timing
and i'm suffering from limerick delay.

Celina said "Limericking Fool",
But in truth she meant "Obs is so cool",
But her 'gaff i forgive,
for "to live and let live",
is i think: such a wonderful rule.

Character Related

Once a Texan's Political tooth,
broke the skin of the apple of truth,
and in wanting much more,
he bit straight to the core,
now he's bruised and discarded dead fruit.

In exploring the server so fickle,
'cus the bandwidth reduced to a trickle,
'til the nine terrabytes,
lead to StuR and his site,
until StuR was snuffed out by a pickle.

Book 2 Related

There once was a letter I writ,
to a fella who'd riled up my wit,
So i wrote it politely,
phrased all the bits nicely,
postscript-hyphen-space and Eat Shit.



I've developed a headache and tremor,
from attempting to maintain "the clever",
so the odds are i'll quit,
all this limerick-ing shit,
and resolve to not rhyme a thing, EVER.

Well I hit the old limerick-ing trail,
and though hoping I'd somewhow prevail,
I hit half-past hour twelvth,
annoyed even myself,
and declared this most noble quest failed!

one more before fading into limerick retirement:

Well on slusho-slash-clover what have you,
they're contesting/competing with haiku,
and the question arose, what's the deal with the prose?
Well if your game sucked balls what would you do?

...waitaminute.... ^.^;;;

Yeah, I'm no good at Limericks (try as I might). Reminds me too much of that english assignment I got a D on in 6th grade.

Lucky 5 with bonus track
Swan song

There once was a girl from the bay
Who was never without things to say
Just a cool hippie chick
and it made us all sick
when the winged thing took her away

There once was a Chapel Hill bloke
Who'd often offend when he spoke
With Chorazos did play
Tonsil-hockeyed BA
Hung himself by the neck till he choked

A Sentry with nickname magician
Embarked on a dangerous mission
The detailed inspection
Of Outpost infection
Caused madness and beheaded pigeons

A highly placed Texan, political
Of det. 3 was quite analytical
echoes bounced off the moon
were his focus, but soon
someone made his condition past critical

An economist by the name Jen
Liked to make little bets now and then
A unseemly intruder
made off with her computer
Soaked her bed with her blood in the end.

A wisecracking Stuart Ronomi
His blog site was mostly baloney
Screamer got on his system
Lucky 5 didn't miss him
Deathly pickle hid 'neath pepperoni

Ok, I'll give it a shot.

There once was a girl called St. Feline
To whom sentries all made a beeline
Her dreams and her screams
Drove the team to extremes
Of visions they wanted to decline


Thought up another one.

There once was a doggie named Providence
Who needed to learn how to jump the fence
The drummer and cats
The old lady and rats
Providence had to get evidence

Lovek,
That's grand!

Can anyone figure a way to get lolinator to work on uF, or more specifically, this thread?

I'd like to thank beer, for giving me the inspiration I needed to write that limerick in my head last night.

That said, I'm judging, so I can't win. But you may continue your posts of adoration and lauding.

(Also, glad you liked it. Thanks Smile)

Well, just because you can't win doesn't mean it can't be full of Win. =)

Hrm, just found out there's a Mythos ARG. Congrats on two successful books, I'll be looking forward to getting involved in the third installment! Anyways, to add to the quick poems...

There once was a cultist from Lancaster,
Who in his conclave wished to rise faster.
But he didn't intend
To have the world end
When he shouted out "Hastur, Hastur, Has-!"

Hey Obs, no talking smack about my haiku contest, we've got 10 pages of entries. And, a prize or two. Wink
