All washed with great gulps of champagne.
--- Chris Papa
Your friends you'll abuse and you'll bore 'em.
For people who brag
Are such a big drag,
It's easier just to ignore 'em.
--- Gary Hallock
Will boast to any small quorum,
'Bout feats of his brawn,
And of need to spawn,
Devoid of good taste or decorum.
--- Chris Papa
Thinks himself soli cantorum;
Nothing excuses
Just how he uses
Braggadocio to bore 'em.
--- Daniel Ford
When caught, red-handed, in stew,
Except try and get by
And tell, by and by,
COCKAMAMIE tales, one or two.
--- Chris Papa
A pleasure which we really share;
It brings warmth and smiles,
Not many air miles,
And saves us a good deal of fare.
--- Chris Papa
Not least among them is spooning,
Demands that the lair
Has space for a pair;
A solo cocoon leads to mooning.
--- J'Carlin
Such as: what is done while COCOONING.
Beneath that red blanket,
If she starts to yank it,
They're forking now, no longer spooning.
--- Gary Hallock
And review the life that has passed,
A suitable CODA
Would be scotch and soda,
As I depart, appropriately, half-gassed.
--- Norm Brust
That life on this Earth will not end.
Yet they derive some pleasure
In squeezing last measure
Of whatever CODA will send.
--- Chris Papa
Makes haunting refrains in pagoda.
Embellished futura --
Appogiatura,
Like belching after drinking soda.
--- Daniel Ford
Which will their dumb reader impress,
And blind them with hate,
At bottom I'd rate;
CODSWALLOP, it is, more or less.
--- Chris Papa
Or be solemn just like a nice hymn.
Served up with a dollop
Of silly CODSWALLOP,
With lightness and fun, it should brim.
--- Norm Brust
All of our limericks divine!
While limited verse
And somewhat terse,
When done well, it feels sublime.
--- Barb
With dinosaurs I feel COEVAL;
My memory fails
And as for details,
They're lost in the ages primeval.
--- Chris Papa
Though often you can't read their scrawl.
A terrible sight,
So they never write,
But instead you get a collect call.
--- Darryl
Knowing not they're innocenti,
An illusion maintained
By the fuculty pained,
Who served in locum parenti.
--- Daniel Ford
The people who know facts a-plenty,
On all sorts of things,
As my applause rings,
For plurals, like ten or twenty,
--- Chris Papa
I feel like I'm in a museum,
Where artifacts
Recall barbarous acts;
If I close my eyes, I can see 'em.
--- Norm Brust
Waited for Caesar to free 'em.
But left, as a rule,
In some tiger's stool,
The very best he'd guarantee 'em.
--- Chris Papa
Is no more in Herculaneum.
Mt Vesuvius
Spewed effluvious
Hot gases and made mausoleum.
--- Daniel Ford
Ends up occupying the garage.
If I were more smart
At welding and art,
No yard sale--it's big bucks COLLAGE.
--- Bob Dvorak
Looks like desert camouflage,
Made of scrap and objects
The "artist" collects
From the floor of his uncle's garage.
--- Norm Brust
Making art into some Mahal Taj.
Does rarely succeed.
But somehow, indeed,
It may pay a true artist hommage.
--- dANIEL fORD
Into a poetic COLLAGE,
Though folks I have heard,
Just say I'm absurd,
While French call it merde or garbage.
--- Chris Papa
Occur if we like it or not.
With relief in sight,
First spending the night,
By pressing our butts on the pot.
--- Chris Papa
I think you will need many wipes,
In making your way
Through fecal souffle,
And Toto's poor coat, I'd say, "Yipes!"
--- Chris Papa
An object of pity and smiles.
But poor Tony Blair
With his youthful flair,
Has more abuse coming in piles.
--- Chris Papa
Cause your cheek to show its dimple.
But today's right-winger
Needs a sharper zinger;
The issues are not quite as simple.
--- Norm Brust
All kinds of politics give them ground.
Some writers are worse,
But of those who write verse,
Hope some humor and worth will be found.
--- Barb
Who might have to forego some dinners,
Since they're bound to fail
In Bible retail,
Because there are so many sinners.
--- Chris Papa
'Cause I come to the door in the nude.
Their expressions turn sickly,
And they leave rather quickly.
Do you think it's because I'm tattooed?
--- Norm Brust
Would be troubled in Latin Quarter,
Where populace has
A bias for jazz
And the melodies of Cole Porter.
--- Daniel Ford
This is file hnl
Is meant to be used now and then
In voiding their waste,
Or in times unchaste,
When playing the rooster to hen.
--- Chris Papa
It tastes bad and generates gas.
A Belgian COMESTIBLE
I find indigestible,
Which should be banned from cooking class.
--- Chris Papa
Are not always so digestible.
The heavy fruitcake,
If many bites take,
Makes for gut feelings detestable.
--- Daniel Ford
Though what's above does seem detestable,
So in the debate,
We must hereby state
That good taste is quite contestable.
--- Daniel Ford
Some of it not quite COMESTIBLE.
When pantyhose goes
From hips to the toes,
Comes out whole, indigestable.
--- Chris Papa
Have a following that is inestimable.
Though some guests, when you
Put sprouts on the menu,
Never get past the vestibule.
--- Norm Brust
Nutrition ingested this way
Is needed by all
In Nature's call,
To provide for our DNA.
--- Chris Papa
On COMITY surely insist.
But in daily grind,
It's left far behind,
And Public has a right to be pissed!
--- Chris Papa
Instead of just working for us.
They promise COMITY,
But leave us vomity,
Wanting to kick them and cuss.
--- Chris Papa
In life that is strictly COMMENSAL.
And just like a tick,
It will to you stick
And use your blood to get immensal.
--- Chris Papa
And intercoursing talk post mensal,
Can often lead women
To share a persimmon
And hormonal cycles comenstrual.
--- Daniel Ford
Chest of drawers, or a pot for a turd,
Or urine to save,
A place where you lave,
Or contemplate life that's absurd.
--- Chris Papa
More than it does...come what may!
A very roomy space?
There is no disgrace!
So I'll have to learn how to play!
--- Maggie
Is COMMODIOUS, when there's a load,
Of room, for the folks,
But not for slow-pokes,
Dawdle too long in commode.
--- Chris Papa
Needed for dances melodious,
Is gone, I do fear,
When the crowds appear;
Movement and smells become odious.
--- Daniel Ford
Will always be there with an odd dray
To cart you on home,
When you've cracked your dome
Pursuing that fickle tart Audry.
--- Daniel Ford
Would write limericks described as "blue."
They all brought a smile
Though once in a while,
The censors would warn to eschew.
--- Chris Papa
Is something real good, it is said.
But great sharing, see,
Between you and me
Is very much better in bed.
--- Chris Papa
Utterly wrong and forgettable.
COMPANIONABLE can't
Be said of such rant,
So bad it isn't Gazette-able.
--- Chris Papa
She said, with an audible snort.
But what was on her mind
Was paayment in kind
For an evening of sexual sport!
--- Barb
Two burgers and a large order of fries.
If you fall in the trap
Of eating this crap,
You'll grow to enourmous size.
--- Norm Brust
That most of my limericks COMPRISE
Some salacious thought
And wicked pols caught
In corruption, which I despise.
--- Chris Papa
Is something of modern compromise.
Saying "is comprised of"
Gives "of" double shove O
--- Daniel Ford
Is but a subconscious injunction
That what you are doing
May bring on some suing;
Maybe even social expunction.
--- Daniel Ford
Swears to live by the "golden rule."
And pure truth tell-o
'Bout buddy, poor fellow,
When each is a low lying fool.
--- Chris Papa
Before the wise adjudicator
With risk may be fraught
If one is then caught,
Colluding as collaborator.
--- Daniel Ford
Should spend some time as contemplator.
Considering joys
Of free-time employs,
Life of unbound peregrinator.
--- Daniel Ford
They hope to give their falsehoods weight
Of truth that's not there
And so all is fair
In Love, War, Elections and Hate.
--- Chris Papa
And how he could CONCATENATE.
He could match syphilis
With ideas frivolous
Then ingeniously conflate.
--- Fran Morris
In a score book after she'd mate.
This way she knew
Exactly what to do
When in need of good meat on her plate.
--- Kitten
No, it not a dance to suplicate rain.
This CONCATENATION
Is for mutual masturbation,
A game abandoned once John encounters Jane.
--- Norm Brust
Cunningly coif each creation
Of limericks light
Fierce fancies of flight,
Consonant CONCATENATION.
--- Chris Papa
He used Brioschi to CONCILIATE (Italian Rolaids)
The fiery farts,
("Ouch, that really smarts!"),
The result of something he ate.
--- Norm Brust
Ocassionally, each others grate.
Will find it much quicker
For "blood is much thicker",
To forgive and CONCILIATE.
--- Chris Papa
