There are a few that like to join in
like Earnest (when he's not debunking "sin")
and Marcofratelli
who really likes jelly
and Ghost after he's had enough gin.
last few days, i missed earnest
in limerick words he is also best
discussing seriously
he noticed us merely
he's expected to take this limericks test
It's time to get back to this thread
to keep limericks fresh in my head
I like the rhyming
the method and timing
It reminds me that I'm not dead.
I've missed our "chance" meetings here, Earnest.
They're as healing as the finest internist.
Glad you feel alive
here you will thrive
and enjoy life with a fresh, anew zest.
Lovely to see you here "scribe"
laughin and lookin alive
hope you have a good night
that all is alright
you will always be limerick tribe!
Laura where have you been?
It's ages since you were seen
Flitting through with HP fame
Newbies don't know your name
And we miss you in the team.
I hate to say it Pearldiver,
I feel like a shipwreck survivor.
Life's dealt me some poop
A bit worse than the croup
I'll fix it with my handy screwdriver.
(I miss you, too)
its time for me to sleep
with this last beep
see you tomorrow
in joy or sorrow
this promise I can keep
The sculptures of Giacometti,
Look like figurines made out of spaghetti!
But that doesn’t stop people from spending millions.
Oh when will this bronze, “Walking Man” be ready?
Hey Laura let me know what you need
Please don't lie there and bleed
Maybe if you email me a letter
I might be able to help you feel better
Surely there's nothing to make you conceed.
I'm not one to roll over in defeat
Nothing much in my life I can't beat.
You are a dear friend
to offer to mend
a soul you may never even meet.
the limerick fever is back
a new image on the rack
going green
environment scream
stop piling plastic stack
Have missed this great energy thread
'Tween writing and building and bed
Now that it is here
I'm full of good cheer
Bumping it up with my head
day by day, hour by hour
life becomes sweet and sour
diffculties arise
we pay some price
almighty keeps giving the power
moving down a difficult road
walking on a sharp sword
target is far
hard and bizarre
and on top carrying heavy load!
Glad to see old rhymers back
I thought you all fell through the crack
of the religions thread
with gods who are dead
or that you had all lost the knack!
I just put up a post in a forum
About poets and how we ignore 'em
And when I get back
I find this little stack
Of gems that were written be forum
I thought this thread was six feet under
Buried ’neath forum fire and thunder
Am I glad it’s alive
So great to see it thrive
Let’s get it rolling again, this limerick wonder!
Buy good sausage someday at the mart
Carrots and cabbage for a hotpot start
cook them real slow
over warm fire glow
At night under cover, celebrate with fart
hehehe
the devil is once back again
crashing all over aeroplane
be it Palo Alto
be it Austin
Two days of fire-rain
The religious forums are poo
I'm sick of them, How about you?
the fairy don't make it
Religionists fake it
the bible was written by who?
Hi Earnest - I'm glad you're still here.
I'm rarer than ever, I fear.
It's finding the time
to indulge in a rhyme
between working and women and beer!
Earnest, as much as I love you, my friend
there’s magic out there we can't comprehend
—all I can say is religion’s a curse
they’ll steal all your money and then take your purse—
But good still wins out in the end
My first offer to the limerick thread
I hope against hope it won’t fall down dead
I wait while you read it
And though I don’t need it
I can’t wait to see what you’ve said
Such a weird little thread that I see
The posts number twelve-sixty-three
I thought that before
There were many more
But what do I know? I'm just me!
I must learn to flee hateful forums
But it's hard cuz they have so much allure...um
The posts drive me crazy
it's just an excuse to be lazy
and I can't hold onto decorum!
There once was a Hubber named "Frog"
And I'll tell you frog worked like a dog
to get all those hubs in
and go for the win
And now we're left standing agog!
Happy Birthday Frogdropping!!
ETA: I have made a mistake thinking that frog won the Hub contest, when it was wordscribe! I'm SORRY!! Frog posted the congratulatory thread! But the rhyme doesn't work with scribe!
I'll think up another. And I'll dedicate this for Frog's B-day.
The Hub had a contest of words
And many attempted to get themselves heard
But out of the Tribe
The best was the Scribe
And the win was truly deserved!
CONGRATULATIONS WORDSCRIBE!!!
A beautiful day it be
Can any of you see?
the beauty today will bring
Dont worry about a thing
Just believe
Thanks, you're so sweet. I'll make a limerick soon, I promise! I'm busy with the 60 day challenge... Sigh.
There was a young man named Gene
Who had a love-making machine
Concave and convex
It served either sex
And it played with itself in between.
I just can't stay out of the forum
All the people who write, I adore 'em
there are those who would vex
and those who only want sex
And I find it hard to ignore 'em!
I think I'm getting the hang of this. Would you believe I had never written a limerick before this thread!?
Nice...Very good!!
Sure you have never done this before??
I promise I've ne'er written this kind of a po'm
I'm often too busy with my head in a tome
But the rhythm is right
I've found I could do this all night
But away from the 'puter must I roam!
I just want to join in the fun
don't want to play games in the sun
I want to sit on my a~~
and smoke all the grass
becuz here it that's the way things are won!
There is nothing better than cyber sex
in fact it is better than dis'n my ex
for fun you can't beat it
and I dare to repeat it
There is nothing better than cyber sex!
Mega your last post
was the most
funniest thing I've read today
I love how you play
What more do you have to say
Some things are hard to explain
such as human emotional pain
but if we don't know
that's no call to go
to a story that's really insane!
Ya'll here on Hub Pages make me laugh and hollar...
Most fun I ever had that didn't cost a dollar...
But cyber-sex on the net sounds kind'a scary,
The girl behind the avatar may be called "Larry",
And be wearing only a studded-leather collar...!
My life seems to be really a mess,
There's no way but up is my guess,
So on Hub Pages I write
all day and all night,
It makes me happy, I confess
I wanted some fun, it was Easter
I was sitting around on my keester
when out of the blue
a thought about you
made we want to cook a big feast or
When I got the ham in the oven
I got a call from the rest of my coven
don't sit home and bitch
or we can't call you witch
so I got up and gave them some lov'n!
Now you may think that this is real strange
some people have called me deranged
but if what's in the oven's
not as good as my coven's
I reserve every right to the exchange
there was a young woman named figment
who was wondering just where her pet pig went
she looked here and there
on the ground and in the air
in the hubtribe she found it on a spit
well. nobody's perfect!
I was bored so I thought I'd get porned
everywhere in the threads I was scorned
I was just driven out
with a whip and a shout
and here I sit all alone and forlorned!
All faithful hubbers listen as I warn
if you think in the threads you'll get porn
don't strip or be bare
of the teasers beware
or you'll end up like me, all alorn!
Never dreaming my hub friends would ban me
and yet they all wanted to can me
"With a body like yours
you can't go to the whores"
disgusted, they refused to scan me
Ichy bitchy little girl
Loved the crabs but hated squirrels
Teased the boys kissed the girls
Drank her beer but never hurled
Loved to dance but not to twirl
Shes not a genius just a girl
Always sheltered from the world
Ichy bitchy little girl!
Roses are red
Volcanoes are too
That's why an eruption
Reminds me of you
There was a young fellow named Eddie
Who fell in love with his teddy
His wife said to Eddie
You and the teddy
Can shut the front door when you're ready
The forums have got really boring
I can't hear myself for the snoring
to survive this lament
I'm gonna get bent
or else I'll start eating the flooring!
I need to publish today
my workload won't just go away
if I do one more hub
I can order a sub
And go merrily on with my play.
There was a young man from Cape Horn
Who wished he had never been born
And it would not have been
If his father had seen
That the end of his condom was torn
From my schooldays a million years ago, just won't go away for some reason !!
There was a young man from Gwent
whose tool was incredibly bent
to save himself trouble
he put it in double
so instead of coming he went
Wordscribe and I have decided
though limericks may be derided
We'll restart this thread
not leaving it dead
but decidedly try to revive it.
It's worth a revival or two,
with Earnest my old limerick boo.
Two years have now passed
time's gone way too fast
I'm still a limerick foo!
Our bird has been squawking again
It's ear-piercing - affecting my brain!
I can't stop his screaming
It's so damn demeaning
The bastard is at it again!
I'd pull out his feathers in rage
If his beak would let me near his cage
he knows far too much
as a big mouth and such
I'm afraid he may reveal my age!
I'm crying now Earnest, for you
my very best limerick boo...
I will miss you so dearly,
I mean that sincerely
my tears would tell you it's true.
This thread is anew today,
I know you'd want it that way.
I just wish we were giggling,
our bellies were jiggling,
But I don't have my friend to play.
I hate that I have to say bye,
I can do nothing right now but cry
But you'll always be here,
you'll never ever disappear,
Fly high, now Earnest... fly high!
a heart felt limerick...if ever there was one! And a sad one. What a greater honor then this...there could not be...for the ones that you used to joke around with on a limerick or two...to remember you by the laughter and wit you brang to them.
Simply powerful!
Thanks so much for saying that! I just have the fondest memories of him here... I just want to hang out here all day, really. When I couldn't sleep, I'd just come here and laugh my ass off all night long. Man, it was the best kind of therapy in the world. I would do anything to have him pop in here just one last time.
Way back when this thread first started WS - I wrote this one in reply to Earnest.
Earnest I think that you'll find
Tis best to remember this rhyme;
When you're dead and departed
You'll find that you've started
At the end of a very long line.
Very apt I think Fun times, made me laugh plenty, ever the gentleman, greatly missed by so many.

The closest I get to poetry is the noble limerick. Here is one from my fevered brain. I'm sure fellow versifiers can do better - much better.A Yankee website called HubPagesPublished stories written by sagesIt was bought out by TAGThat gave not a shagAnd, gobbled up all of our wages

Hi Hubbers,I hope I'm posting my introduction in the correct place; if not, someone point me in the right direction?So far, I'm psyched over this site. Though there are tons of warnings "out there" for "serious" writers to stay away from these types of sites, I have a...

I ran out of space on my blog when I tried to put up a 15,000 word essay (about 125k). Sigh. Thus the topic. I'd heard about HP awhile ago, a little tickled at the idea of making a few cents instead of nothing. In trying to get up a test hub, I read the stuff on subdomains,...

Isn't posting a "limerick" that is NOT a limerick actually false advertising??I have bit my tongue for quite a while now about all the "limericks" that get posted on Hubpages which are NOT true limericks. They may be poems, but they are NOT limericks because they do not...
