Thar Blows Maria: Collaboration With New Additions

Too many hurricanes are causing havoc this season.  We might as well have a limerick collaboration about them since they seem to be in the news.  Please join in by sending me your limerick in a soup mail or email.


Hurricane Maria is the latest ole windbag
She'll huff and puff till her eye walls sag
She's blowin' in the tropics
Catastrophic among topics
Heed the warning of that hoisted red flag
                                     by: Lin Lane


I’ve heard Maria’s cooking up a storm
Pack your bags and head where it’s warm
She’ll cause such destruction
Which will lead to disruption
These old wind bags, they never conform!

These hurricanes really don’t care
Tossing houses right into the air
They’re a bane in our life
Like an old nagging wife
It's no wonder that folks cus and swear!
                                   by: Jan Allison


Oh Maria I hope you just fizzle out 
You're so full of wind with a nagging spout
Hurry and disappear
Blow on out of here
We're tired of that same old raspy shout
                                   by: Tim Smith


Oh Maria, we have had enough
We don't want to see you puff
We don't want to stress
Or clean up your mess!
Just weaken, and stop acting tough!
                                  by: Heidi Sands


Oh bad Maria, you have gotten so volatile
Blow yourself out and make people smile
Or maybe there's a chance
Another name you'll enhance
Hurricane Madness sounds very erstwhile

Cinder's sits on the toilet in fear
Of the ugly sisters to appear
Irma arrives there first
Maria next to burst
gave cinder's chronic diarrhea

Jan Allison Date: 9/19/2017 9:14:00 AM I had to drop by and read the additions - i think Roy has caught my poopitis lol:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 9/19/2017 9:37:00 AM If it's contagious keep it to yourselves ;-)

John Fleming Date: 9/18/2017 11:49:00 AM This looks like fun! Mind you: "Thar Blows Maria"? Hhmmm...that brings a certain risque thought to mind. Best leave it alone, methinks. :) Cracking idea, Lin Lane! All the very best. :) john Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 9/18/2017 12:18:00 PM Thanks for the comments, John, as well as for not writing about where your risque' thoughts were taking you. ;-)

Tim Smith Date: 9/18/2017 9:52:00 AM Oh Maria I hope you fizzle out... you're so full of wind with a nagging spout...hurry dissapper...blow on out of here... we're tired of that same old raspy shout Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 9/18/2017 10:46:00 AM lol Tim Lin Lane Date: 9/18/2017 10:13:00 AM Thanks for adding on to our collaboration with such an awesome limerick, Tim!

Jan Allison Date: 9/18/2017 8:31:00 AM Oh gosh is hurricane maria on the way that is bad news:-( I will see what I come up with and send you my thoughts. its such a worrying time with people still reeling from the destruction of the last ones. I wonder will they name a hurricane after me as i love writing about wind lol lol:-0 hugs jan xx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 9/18/2017 6:35:00 PM I've been reading up and maria was the first hurricane given a female name and that was in 1941. the names get retired if a really serious storm occurs how fascinating!:-) hugs jan xx Tim Smith Date: 9/18/2017 10:53:00 AM www.oceanrowing.com/hurricanes.html Tim Smith Date: 9/18/2017 10:50:00 AM They have a list...next year is male names....but Jan is a uni-sex name Jan Allison Date: 9/18/2017 10:45:00 AM oh so I could be a hurricane next year lol I'l contact the met office and ask if they will name it after me lol:-) hugs Jan x Lin Lane Date: 9/18/2017 8:39:00 AM Yes, Jan, this one is following Irma's path. Hopefully the atmospheric conditions will draw her North into the Atlantic. The naming process alternates between male and female names, so next year a "J" storm will be feminine. I just don't want to meet you under those circumstances. lol I'm sure you'll send me a brilliant limerick.

Russell Sivey Date: 9/18/2017 8:29:00 AM This is perfect for the Hurricane situation out in the Caribbean! Then will it hit the mainland? I hope it goes off like Hurricane Jose did! I really enjoyed reading your amazing limerick this morning! You have delivered a masterful and epic piece my friend! What a brilliant poem, Great Work!! Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 9/18/2017 8:36:00 AM Thanks, Russell. Lots of prayers that she doesn't cause more devastation in the tropics and then continue on to the US mainland.
