There was a lady called Dietr ich
Who had a go at writing a limer ick
She put in a count
But could not account 
For the syllables all ending in ick

Instigate me not or I
'm going to
Break every bone in your
Ass,
Crush your skull and
Kick you down into a fiery hell!...

I always have the stangest dreams when I am sick
It's not like I have the choice to pick
Tossing and turning
with my fever burning
I wake feeling like a pile of ick...

guitarin' the stars in
that dare ick god's eye as he

A poet once tried to rhyme “turmeric”:
he ate ten big jars, and then murmured “Ick!”
His taste buds murdered,
poor dear old Bernard
bolted up three flights of stairs to be sick....

Pecking out letters with a ick dick mick bick.
Boys are lined up to see you for a country mile.
You act like you don’t see them.  You are totally slick....

Pick from cheese, butter, salt
Plucked from corn bits...then heat

Limerick : Once a Little Girl, a lovely Chick

Once a Little Girl, a lovely Chick
Was warned not to play with her friend’s ?ick
In time ?ick grew to stick
Her till heart couldn’t tick
Now she wears Nun’s clothes and isn’t that sick.

Pick a tune with pazazz.
Play that great old time Jazz.
Piano man hit heights.
Please play those black and whites. 
Pure honkey tonk, tap feet.
Put old time feelings, sweet.
Perfection, feel the beat....

Kept in the fridges of
kitchens of my land, the
King of Condiments is
Known to enhance french fries!
Kids at heart love it, so
Kick off your morning with
Ketchup on scrambled eggs!

The way I feel
Is yuck, it’s ick
Words can’t describe
This kind of sick

Piercing lesions 
Beneath the flesh
Lack of reasons
It’s so complex

Words, exhausted
Excuses, used
Skin has softened
From blind abuse

It’s decayed hope
From silent vibes
The boat, afloat
Too late to ride...

And no one kept a tally of the rain and
Drops that fell. 
And the rain falls..

Strobing the asphalt
Counting souls
petrichor turns to acrid urine.

And no one kept a tally
Of the drops of rain that fell....

Don't worry child
But worry you do
Don't hurry child
What's through is through
Don't cry child
For what you once knew
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you

She's sick, she's sick,
But it's no flu
She's sick, she's sick,
She's sick of you
She's sick, she's sick,
No love, just ick
She's sick, she's sick
Of you...

C-hoose the righteous life, 
Y-ou shall live in peace; 
N-ever turn a blind eye, 
T-o gain glorious bliss.
H-ow many choices are given? 
I-t's between wrong and right; 
A-im at the latter, to make your future bright.

Y-ou must make a decision, 
A-s July fifth feels the strife; 
P-ick the better days, choose the righteous life....

There are many poets on Poetry Soup
Deb’s limerick contest has thrown for a loop
Try as they might
They can’t write it right
To Deb it comes out smelling like poop

Deb's instructions I've tried to hit
While writing my own lim-er-ick
Each and every time
I miss the meter and the rhyme
Throw up my hands and exclaim, "Oh ... poop"...

S-ee what the poem brings, 
E-very word really matters; 
T-he way the rune is created, 
H-appiness is caused by verse.

M-ade rhyme's every word
O-f wisdom is thought twice; 
N-ew ideas come to mind, felt by heart, gazed by eyes.

P-ick each lined letter
A-nd read what comes first; 
J-uly twenty-seventh morn, 
E-very word truly matters....
