Collaboration Can Be Fun Join In Here

I'm a firm believer In limerick fever (This isn't news) "It'll cure the blues!" Says Jan (who is no deceiver) Written by Jan Allison: Writing limericks is a fine art Yes I write about poop or a fart But show me someone Whose not dropped a ‘bomb’ then from poetry soup I’d depart! Written by Lim'rik Flats: Does art mimic life or life mimic art? Don't ask me, I'm not too smart. It seems the soup Has the same poop As watching the news (or a fart). Drama and trauma, factions and foes, Smiting and fighting, (hard on the nose), Saves me the trouble Of viewing double Saves time, and less grief I suppose. Written by Ray Gridley: Raise a toast to this collaboration Whatever your race or your nation Just write on a whim Lim'rick Flat's bound to grin They are all going to be a sensation! Written by Daniel Turner: I know a guy called Lim'rick Flats Writes limericks at the drop of a hat Jan is his pal She's quite a gal They met in a laundry mat Jan makes jokes about poop he puts them in alphabet soop drinks from the bowl with no self control which makes him a nincompoop Also written by Daniel Turner: Write all the limericks you want but don't fart in a restaurant people will laugh call you riffraff even if you're a debutante Written by John Lawless: oh the limerick it ain’t quite a sonnet and the learned, they look down upon it for they cannot grasp its head or its ass nor the cleansing effect of its tonic Written by Terry Reeves: Late for work she flew out the door Took an express elevator to the 29th floor Let some discreet killer farts Nearly stopped all their hearts Left them gagging; she'd evened the score Written by Tim Smith: Nonsense is here found out in the alley Five funny lines we'll add to the tally a smile or two we laught till we're blue so put out your best and join in our rally Written by Alexis Y: Hey what's going on in the soup? Lim'rik Flats I want the scoop What do you have to say? You got poem of the day Congrats, I shouldn't have flown the coop Written by Jean Murray: John is always fun. His poems and their puns. If you need a lift. He has the gift. Lim'rik Flats is number one. psst. How could I not add this to the string? ~ john

Hurray! It's Tim with some dandy nonsense! Gosh, I've kind of missed the old nonsense alley, might be time for a revival...or a merger;-) Thanks dude, for joining the fun.

oh the limerick it ain’t quite a sonnet - and the learned, they look down upon it - for they cannot grasp - its head or its ass - nor the cleansing effect of its tonic

I know a guy called Lim'rick Flats, writes limericks at the drop of a hat, Jan is his pal, she's quite a gal, they met in a laundry mat..... Jan makes jokes about poop, he puts them in alphabet soup, drinks from the bowl, with no self control, which makes him a nincompoop
