A limerick writer should be
Very thick skinned CAP-A-PIE,
Because comic arts
Beget 'tomic darts,
Rough ripostes for all world to see.
--- Chris Papa

Though head-to-toe is CAP-A-PIE,
As in a jumpsuit happily,
The street urchin thief
Hope for a quick brief
When lawyers try to cop a plea.
--- Daniel Ford

In winter's cold, I'd rather be
Covered and snug, CAP-A-PIE,
Or fireplace-ified,
In the warm inside,
Cuddling with my sweet Honey.
--- Chris Papa

No CAPARISON for me,
No hat on my head there to see.
No sporty montage,
To cover pelage,
Just left to the wind, blowing free.
--- Chris Papa

Some, feminine reasoning equate
With all heart but no logic great.
Men should just see the light
And forget the fight,
And willingly CAPITULATE.
--- Chris Papa

If two defenders tackle you, CAPITULATE.
Don't let the coach you flagellate.
Just hang on to the ball
And hope for a call
Of fifteen yards 'cause one hit you late.
--- Norm Brust

An old lecher whose name was Maurice
Was overtaken by a sudden CAPRICE.
He grabbed his Rolodex,
Looked under "S" for sex,
And phoned his favorite "niece".
--- Norm Brust

In need of some urgent release,
The guy hit upon this CAPRICE.
Since he never sinned,
He'd change with the wind,
And spend a few bucks for a "piece".
--- Chris Papa

Unable to cough up her fees,
The guy, still in need of release,
Sought help of another
Capricious big brother,
And they both went down on their niece.
--- Gary Hallock

Now we've had some good days, a few,
But what's a poor husband to do,
When pretty wife rapturous,
Grows tongue that's CAPTIOUS,
And shrivels his staff, as a shrew.
--- Chris Papa

In living life's allotted span,
The troubles that accrue to Man,
And wipe away smile,
Don't come single file,
But arrive in a long CARAVAN.
--- Chris Papa

Today most CARCERAL places
One might consider disgraces.
Where prisoners scrounge,
Enjoy TV lounge,
And recreational spaces.
--- Chris Papa

CARCERAL theories have progressed;
With punishment we're no longer obsessed.
It's about rehabilitation,
An enforced "vacation"
Where the con is considered a guest.
--- Norm Brust

The tower bells of the CARILLON
At Notre Dame some find peril on;
In black and white grainy,
Th visage of Chaney
Left hunchback silence in care o'Lon.
--- Daniel Ford

Though loaded with worry and cark,
Noah guided his charges in ark,
To a new found seat,
With waters retreat;
Their prospects there must have seemed stark.
--- Daniel Ford

Sweet buxom Betty would CARK
About a sole walk in the park.
Especially at night
When some masher might
Cop a quick feel in the dark.
--- Chris Papa

Sometimes an offhand remark
Will cause much grief and cark.
So watch what you write
Or someday you might
Pay the fee of some legal shark.
--- Norm Brust

CARNIVORES all like to eat,
Fowl, fish and animal meat,
Raw, broiled or braised,
Its virtues are praised,
As part of a diet complete.
--- Chris Papa

Flesh-eating bears CARNIVOROUS,
Not often thought herbivorous,
In berries delight,
But I find their sight
Leaves me shuddering, shiverous.
--- Daniel Ford

A drunkard in Cork, we hear tell,
Spent evenings in pubs raising hell.
Carousing all night,
The world wasn't right,
But spun like a mad carousel.
--- Bob Dvorak

Old men who CAROUSE, just might
Find wenches, arousing lust bright.
Though spirit willing,
Flesh is not fulfilling.
They go gently into that good night.
--- Phil Kinay

When CAROUSING, from the German Chug-a-lug,
You've got to empty the jug.
But the fun, you may spoil it,
If you don't reach the toilet,
Before old Nature pulls the plug.
--- Norm Brust

The freedom to reign with CARTE BLANCHE
Does many a dictator launch.
It's only with time
Democracies climb,
The great losses of blood to staunch.
--- Daniel Ford

He bought her a bottle of beer,
And thought that CARTE BLANCHE was quite near.
But he got stiff arm
And threat of gendarme,
When he tried for a pat on her rear.
--- Chris Papa

He thought with a smile on his face,
Admiring each caryatid's grace,
That he had some hope;
If live, he might grope
Each, as each was fixed to her place.
--- Chris Papa

The curves of columns CARYATID
Were seductie, so Pyggy patted.
And as to swelling,
He now tries selling
"The bulge is just a cyst hydatid."
--- Daniel Ford

Most men seem to fall to their knees
When confronted with CARYATIDES.
Hours they'll stay,
All night and all day,
In hopes of a drape-lifting breeze.
--- Kitten

You've added a new word today,
The CARYATIDS, in their own way,
Held roofs on their heads,
Like in buildings Feds,
They're shapely stone columns, I'd say.
--- Chris Papa

Though I'm not sure that Monica was paid,
('Cause Bill reckoned she hadn't been laid)
She's selling books now.
Seems that this CASH COW
At the White House, much more than milkmaid.
--- Kitten

A CASH COW is what we all need,
To milk of her profit with greed.
We all like cheese and butters
Paid for by some udders,
But careful, don't start a stampede.
--- Gary Hallock

Bill Gates has figured out how
To increase his fortune, and how.
We buy and endure
That programmed manure,
That plops from his famous CASH COW.
--- Frank

Disaster prophesied CASSANDRA,
As she lay in green pachysandra,
Listening to wizard
In form of a lizard,
Who went by the name Salamandra.
--- Daniel Ford

CASSANDRA, a seeress with pride,
Far future for Greeks often eyed.
She'd only one fault;
Her total gestalt
Was that her truth would be denied.
--- Chris Papa

This is file hql

CASSANDRA, prophetess of doom,
Could easily clear out a room.
When she claimed that the end
Was just around the bend,
Folks figured she rode in on a broom.
--- Norm Brust

War's proximate cause, CASUS BELLI,
Has often seemed the truth to belie.
Evidence proffered,
Not money coffered,
Should be the cause for giving belle eye.
--- Daniel Ford

When pols explain their CASUS BELLI
To erase that dead fish smell, try
To bring noble thought
To danger they've fraught,
Making angel out of that hell guy.
--- Chris Papa

Some say Dubya's a CAT'S-PAW,
Which surely must stick in his craw.
Where prior Prez sat,
As more of Tom Cat
Who liked every thong that he saw.
--- Chris Papa

Bonefishing can really be tough
If the water's even slightly rough.
The big one I saw
Disappeared 'neath CAT'S-PAW,
And my cast was a blind man's bluff.
--- Norm Brust

CATACHRESIS, one plainly can see,
Might be the occasion for glee,
Though in its broad use
As language abuse,
It never arises from me.
--- Chris Papa

Word use in error, CATACHRESIS,
Will not do much to help your thesis.
Choosing the right words,
Splitting whey from curds,
Makes you a big cheese, rich as Croesus.
--- Daniel Ford

A CATACOMB sounds like a site
For grooming a pussy each night.
It clears tangles all
Or chance of fur ball,
Gets purrs, sign of feline delight.
--- Chris Papa

Necropolis maze is a CATACOMB,
Often beneath a cathedral home,
Where lies the cardinal
With sins unpardonable,
Guarded by some necrophilic gnome.
--- Daniel Ford

She had long brown hair, that's a fact,
Which fell o'er her breasts, CATARACT.
Enhancing what grew,
Romancing the view,
That she was extremely well-racked.
--- Chris Papa

Glacial streams down fjord-sides CATARACT,
Brushes of white in painting abstract,
Enhancing the view
Of the blue green hue
Where sea and mountains, tourists attract.
--- Daniel Ford

Cougar-hunting friends in Montana,
Such buddies thay shared a banana,
Killed mountain lion
That kept sheep dyin',
Causing very sweaty bandannas.
--- Daniel Ford

The buddies thought it would be fair
Taxi-derm stuffed cougar to share;
Turns soon derided,
Cougar divided,
But which end of trophy to bear?
--- Daniel Ford

A coin flip by dear friend Sophie
Gave Bill the tail of cat trophy.
Thought Bill of his fate,
"Though shooting was great,
Souvenir is catastrophe!"
--- Daniel Ford

You'd like it in the CATBIRD SEAT;
A position that is really neat.
But don't make the blunder
To ever sit under,
'Cause catbird poop isn't too sweet.
--- Chris Papa

Red Barber was a canny old fox;
Up there high in the announcer's box.
Though "Dem Bums" faced defeat,
Terms like "CATBIRD SEAT"
Eased the pain as Dodger fans took their knocks.
--- Norm Brust

Catch 22 really shares
And fatal frustration full bares.
Like caught in a vice
That's not very nice,
Thought that one is "caught by the short hairs."
--- Chris Papa

A Fed SS number you need
In searching for job, to succeed;
The CATCH 22
That will beset you:
No Job? Can't get number. You're freed.
--- Elois

When your in the butt end of a screw
And you find there is naught you can do
To get free from the chase
Between "rock and hard place",
That's when you're in CATCH 22.
--- Chris Papa

Like Sartre, I'm damned if I do!
And damned if I don't? Yes that too.
For if I refuse
The option to chose,
I've chosen: it's CATCH 22!
--- Nick

They met in a pub nearby Crewe,
But his prurient plans she soon blew.
"I think all men dubs
Who hang out in pubs."
He had found a new CATCH-22.
--- J'Carlin

Norm tried to avoid the CATCHPOLE;
To avoid paying taxes his goal.
He figured, "What for?"
Located "off-shore,"
Suns on Cayman beach with Nicole.
--- Chris Papa

Yes, I tried to avoid the CATCHPOLE
And ran to Cayman with Nicole.
But you know the Feds;
They look under beds.
I just got out on parole.
--- Norm Brust

CATECHUMEN, the child of few years,
Attentive to life is "all ears."
Though silent about it,
Will soon, never doubt it,
Unexpectedly spill what he hears.
--- Chris Papa

Absolutely, CATEGORICAL,
And of classes allegorical,
The Partner's verses o

Due to humor sophomorical.
--- Daniel Ford

CATTY-CORNER it is for me,
Obscure origin, hard to see.
Diagonal, dice,
Does not figure nice,
It's your roll, obviously.
--- Chris Papa

Just CATERCORNER are three;
And old man, his dog, and a flea.
They seem somewhat stupid;
Still I, hoping Cupid
Makes room in that menage for me.
--- Joanne Gonzalez

Obtuse is this CATERCORNER,
Pronounced as though by some foreigner.
Alien caterwaul,
In folk etymol,
Is across box, kittycorner.
--- Daniel Ford

The screeching that defines CATERWAUL
Can come from a play's "cattle call."
Disappointment's lament
Means no pay for the rent,
And contemplate career overhaul.
--- Daniel Ford

My cat, Ozzie, has no balls;
No wonder he now CATERWAULS.
I had him desexed,
And act he rejects
By voicing pitious cat calls.
--- Norm Brust

He thought his CATHEXIS would pay.
In Girl of his dreams for that day,
For drinks and a meal,
Love's profession, a deal
Designed to let him "have his way."
--- Chris Papa

This dude fell in love with his car
Which he polished till it shone like a star.
This weird CATHEXIS
For a big black Lexus
Made him the butt of cruel jokes in the bar.
--- Norm Brust

The stand-in for another, CATS PAW,
Will suffer consequences, that law.
As to the thong thing,
A different song sing,
When Hillary connects with fat jaw.
--- Daniel Ford
