I live each day with my C.P.,
It's  not easy to have no-siree,
But I try and try
I'll hope to get by,
With the talents my Lord gave me!

A Limerick really should strum
da-DUM-da-da-DUM-da-da-DUM
to fit in this form;
one must learn the norm
to limerick... or be hum-drum.

There once was a man named Cal
Who was my favorite pal
Until the one day
When he went away
With my favorite gal.

Terry,
I am not sure (someone correct me if I am wrong) but I believe the first line is too long to be a limerick.

When the music's to slow, the jig she won't flow; 
and the beat that you seek
is far to discreet, 
to let yer heart's meet
for a really good show.

If ya like hangin' 'round this caboose,
please be sure that it ain't by a noose.
By the time you'd be found
there's nothin' profound
from your throat would ever come loose!

There once was a fat girl named Mandy
Who ate only cookies and candy
The more that she ate
The more she gained weight
But she still thought candy was dandy.
~Davidf
P.S. I decided we needed to get a little more action in this section of the Train.

From Manners To Banners & Serious Stuff

In a previous age we'd have manners,
here an' now, well, it's like we got banners,
on display, but aware:
it was ME, I don't care!
No police-man's got ME on his scanners!

But, it's all in good cheer and bad form,
to be Lim'rickin' here without Norm,
'cause, his absence or not
could be gainly or shot---
would we know if he entered the dorm?

Just remember to rap on the bars
when he's comin', and cover yer scars,
if he sees 'em we might'm
be sorry he'd sight'm---
get your walkies an' cover all cars.

       It may not be serious stuff
that we do when we rhyme off the cuff,
just be sure that the bat
you'll be using is flat
for less damage, lest, he says "Enough!"

Now don't go ta dissin' poor Norm;
he never got used to this dorm
with all the guys fartin'
an' burpin', impartin'
a milieu akin to a swarm

o' bees without queen, an' no honey...
an' everyone borrowed 'is money.
He fin'ly run off...
an' all o' us scoffed
'is attitude -- that it weren't funny.

A free-for-all? Sure. What's the rub?
Lim'ricks we use like a club
with clever word plays
or even cliches 
but no one is serious, bub.


And what's with the absence of Norm?
He Norm-ally jumps in this form
to give his two-bits 
of hot teacher wit 
though sometimes it's only lukewarm.

So you want a free-er-all here...
with bystanders suckin' on beer
all drunk as a skunk
'til each one 'as sunk
ta cryin', "Wayne, bite off 'is ear!" ?

You'll next want a tall, chain-link fence
so's we c'n without gloves commence
ta punchin' an' kickin'
'til someone is pickin' 
up stuff they'll on E-Bay dispense!

Now, Daniel, I don'tunderstand
why you should take such a stand.
How can we do battle 
if you're gonna prattle
and hold up a placating hand?

Somewhere in posts from before, 
dueling was mentioned, I'm shor.
No real-serious,
just some mock-furious, 
until we can't stand any more.

It's all in good fun, don't you see, 
with you here and Adam and me.
Perhaps we can get more 
to slip in the side door 
and join in the fun with we three.

Watch Your Slang-uage!

Watch Your Slang-uage!

Is the silliness you are portrayin'
what you think that I'm doin' or sayin'?
'Cos it doesn't to me
look all rarin' to be!
It's the one that's a hootin' 'n' bayin'!

And yer tongue is a-tyin' and twistin'
to get 'round all the fyin' shake-fistin'
can't you write a whole word,
or has 'ser' not occured
to your slang-uage too sly and assistin'?

And to Daniel, yer quick in to judgin'!
Was it you that was winkin' and nudgin'
that to do it's not right?
What's your story tonight?
Does Eileen know you're fibbin' and fudgin'?

'Cos I ain't, no, I ain't, some young rapper,
who just can't get his pants o'er his crapper.
I'm a poet  methinks,
though my stuff sometimes stinks
like a thug in a mackerel-snapper.

I don't think that Adam's half-mast,
and things that he writes ain't half-vast!
No, he's not profane,
so don't worry, Wayne;
we don't want ya judgin' too fast.

Perhaps he's a bit o' that gangsta
that shows off his undies that hangs ta
the top o' his pants
whilst he spouts an' rants
'is hip-hoppin' versified angsta ?
