There once was a woman from Nizes
whose breasts were of two different sizes.

One was so small
it was nothing at all.

The other -- so large it won prizes.

There once was a man from Nantucket
who got his foot stuck in a bucket.

He said with a gleam
as he split the pail's seam

"When the bucket gets stuck I unstuck it!"

I once nearly fried a new clutch
cuz I started with stick up too much

As the flight line got tense
and the smoke cloud got dense

the clutch became hot to the touch

Alan and Alan and Dan
have chopper stuff firmly in hand

The way they all fly
(You can't blink an eye!)

leaves me willing to spend all I can

There is this one RunRyder member
a member since late in December

His limericks blow
cause he doesn't know

that a limerick always has certain number of lines, and a sorta specific
cadence, and that some of the lines also rhyme -- sometimes in pairs.

Whenever I'm flying my heli
my transmitter rests on my belly

I try not to laugh
or be foolishly daft

cuz the belly bounce bounces my heli

"To dwell on a limerick thread
is a big waste of time!" she said

So I told her, "It's fun...
... spinning rhymes on the run...

... there's a shot that this thread ain't yet dead

A new idea here
might give limericks the boot
Live, limericks, live!

this thread has slowed down
no limericks, no haiku
time to make coffee

<slurp . . . aaahhh>

When limericks lovely and true
pour forth from out of the blue

then many a poet
who may not yet know it

may caffeinate limericks too

<burrpprp>
