Laugh Out Louderick

We know that a poem with legs is a Lim(b)erick;
But do you want to Laugh-out-Louderick?

What's a poem about the NCAA Final Four? - An Above-the-Rimerick
And a poem about a monster? -- A Chimerick
A write that's dull? -- A Dimerick
A pirate's ditty? -- A Fee-fi-fo-fum-Fimerick  
Then there's a tricky one -- That's a Gimmerick

  A church composition? -- A Hymnerick
  An illegal poem? -- An Illegitimaterick
  A poem by James Earl Carter? - A Jimerick
  A poem by a monster from North Korea?  -  A Kim Jong-unerick 
  One that's copied? - A Mimicerick

The Name Game? - A Nymerick 
Razzamatazz and all that Jazz?  -- A Pizzazerimerick  
A poem for a doctor between patients? - A Rinsemofferick
A poem for slender people? -- A Slimerick
A funny three-line pem? -- A Tri-merick

  A poem by Dr. Zeus? - A Vipper of Vipperick
  One that literally chirps? -- A Whippoorwillerick
  A poem that sounds like chimes? -- A Xylophonerick
  One about tuna that's not packed in oil? - A Yellowfineric
  And a poem that goes back and forth? - A Zigzagerick

And all this is, of course, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocierick!

This appears to be whimsical and fun, but seriously, it's difficult to come up with this kind of creativity. Well written. My favorite part is the vipper of vipperick.

hanks for diving down my list to get to this one...It was so much fun to write!...I love that vipper too, even if I did snatch that one--except for the 'ick'-- from old Dr. Zeuss. (He'll forgive me: we attended the same college and even lived in the same dorm room). :)gw

OK, for me 'zigzagerick' is the clear winner, though they are all "excell-rick!"
