Muppets In the Soup - Join In
Write a limerick of your own about a Muppet.
If you post it in a comment or in soup mail to me,
and I find it appropriate, I'll add it on. ;-)
Sesame Street's Count von Count is dressed in black
He spends his time counting bats and talking smack
This vampy Muppet wears a cape
Skin the color of a ripening grape
Pointy teeth bite your neck when he's ready to attack
There's a Muppet who always wears a striped shirt
So does Ernie, but the one I'm talking about is Bert
He loves Bernice, his pet pigeon
Bert's nose is crooked, just a smidgeon
He's the more serious of the two: Bert the introvert

Tell me more about that messy muncher
who crunches cookies like a real monster!
He talks while he eats,
spurts crumbs round his seat...
Is that why he does not grow much larger?

Here’s a tale about Kermit the frog
When blind drunk he slipped off a wet log
Miss Piggy was forlorn
Her dear ‘Kermie’ was ‘gorn’
Now he’s buried deep in a peat bog
The Swedish chef landed up in jail
In bad trouble no one would pay bail
He’d got a big knife
And butchered his wife
No parole until he's old and frail!
Cookie monster was in a foul mood
She’d found something so bad on her food
A black and white turd
Produced by big bird
When she saw him she said something lewd!
Cookie Monster was curt and concise
She don’t give folks impartial advice
My word she’s a bore
Her word is the law
I don’t think she is really that nice

Lin had a crush on old Mr Hooper
Said he was fine when he shook his pooper
In his glasses she'd see
A hidden mystery
behind closed doors said his puppet was super

*****************
Big Bird got a bit over-zealous
In checking out Miss Piggy's trellis.
Oh! Kermit was pained
And thus he remained
Quite furiously green and jealous.

Miss Piggy was visibly shaken,
In the café where Kermit ate bacon.
So she filled him with grog,
Put grease on his log,
Where he fell in the bog and was taken.

Have sympathy for poor old Beaker
Was given away by his squeaker
Miss Piggy he'd kissed
"You're dead!" Kermit hissed
So raced through the set like a streaker

Not a limerick, but welcomed anyway is this:
Lin Lane, is visibly smart
Sharp as an arrow or dart
Witty and skilled with her art
These Muppets with humor and heart
Encouraging them all to take part
