A limerick is hardly an EPOPEE, The verse form we choose for brevity,
Conversed in a manner quite blue;
Four letter words used,
His listeners bruised,
Till into a bishop he grew.
--- Chris Papa
He had to quick clean up his act.
In good ways he'd march;
Now bishop is ARCH,
And noted for smooth tongue and tact.
--- Chris Papa
Each in a particular way.
The lady seeks power,
While Bill will deflower
Intern lasses that come his way.
--- Chris Papa
The public's good trust is sure wrecked.
Such conformity
Sees ENORMITY
Of moral decay, I suspect.
--- Chris Papa
Is a great huge nonconformity;
An evil humongous,
Like some northern fungus;
Its use is but an abnormity.
--- Daniel Ford
You know that is all she'll allow.
Though it might appear
Poetic Shakespeare,
You'd be wise to exit with low bow.
--- Daniel Ford
"Three times? I think that's ENOW.
Your libido's too big;
Don't act like a pig.
And besides, it is time for chow."
--- Norm Brust
They'll pursue it by the sweat of brow.
But when they are old,
And the blood runs cold,
They still will play bull to the cow.
--- Chris Papa
Most oft when his hand's up her thigh,
Till coitus ends
And the couple spends
Time smoking to help time go by.
--- Chris Papa
Do everything she can to ensorcell
The unwary sailor,
Who thinks he can nail her,
And forgets to trim his foresail.
--- Norm Brust
Involve wines and sometimes a morsel
Of sweetmeats, perhaps,
To bring willing chaps
Into games, both ventral and dorsal.
--- Daniel Ford
Who knew how the guys to ENSORCELL,
Gave best of all lays
And took it all ways,
Including both ventral and dorsal.
--- Chris Papa
Who paid much for just chance to squeeze her.
She didn't get all,
So settlement small,
While much, seems to displease her.
--- Chris Papa
At least as far as it concerned "we",
As long as it lasted,
All statistics we blasted!
'Twas due to innate ENTELECHY!
--- Barb
Is rarely by humans achieved,
Requiring at least
That he play the beast,
With one who has just been bereaved.
--- Chris Papa
Can drive the wet kids near insane.
Urine release is
Called ENURESIS,
Causing psychosocial drain.
--- Chris Papa
Said the doctor, "They have ENURESIS."
Suggested Nurse Chandler,
A Texas pan-handler,
"Just tape on the bedpans 'til it ceases!"
--- Observer
Are involuntary releases
During nighttime dreams
Or day's stressful themes,
Surely a painful anamnesis. (reminiscence)
--- Daniel Ford
As a nurse, I'm afraid it is so!
With diapers pulled tight
All day...not just night;
ENURESIS really tells "tail" of woe!
--- Maggie
With three cheers for the graying of hair!
Just make several stops;
A rule that is tops,
And keep rubber pad on the chair!
--- Maggie
Is a behavior quite infective.
And will elicit
Gestures explicit,
Suggesting the Hades directive.
--- Daniel Ford
As does snake through a cowboy's denim,
Leaves one embittered
At the transmitter
And likely to take action agin'em.
--- Daniel Ford
Stomp on the head of that viper,
Beware of the dance
In vulnerable pants --
Walk away -- be just a griper.
--- Daniel Ford
Poisoner plays vital role,
In history's pages,
Of Middle Ages,
Tactic L. Borgia'd extol.
--- Chris Papa
Through mountains and towns Tyrolian.
I'd listen more often
To sounds that soften,
If not so many samolians. (banknotes)
--- Daniel Ford
With sales useless, limp as could be,
Sent out anguished pleas
For EOLIAN breeze,
So ship might go splashing and free.
--- Chris Papa
Don't involve the seas or rivers.
If in love there's a crimp,
And the sails just hang limp,
A drug called Viagra delivers.
--- Chris Papa
To enhance the wordsmith's fine art.
But such extra phonics
As those in ebonics,
Imply that the speaker's not smart.
--- Chris Papa
Arises (here in parenthesis)
When uncaring rubes,
Those squares in the cubes,
Can't take two-consonant synthesis.
--- Daniel Ford
Just out of intelligence's reach.
From Kalikak's learned,
The tribal badge earned,
Collection of imbeciles each.
--- Chris Papa
Flustration need not perplex us;
We'll just go with the flow
And let our brains grow
Into becoming much more ambidexterous.
--- Luana Nemaste
But she thought the poor guy had said frig.
EPENTHESIS hearing;
Her virtue's loss fearing,
She screamed and he's now in the brig.
--- Elois
Emphasized, in large print italic,
And no idle boast,
EPHERMERAL most,
Is thing called "Gratitude Gallic."
--- Chris Papa
This is file iel
Lasting but a day in general,
With new wings to flex
In searching out sex,
Before reaching tends condemneral.
--- Daniel Ford
The pair were getting on great.
"Same thing tomorrow?"
She answered with sorrow,
"EPHEMERIS shows time to wait."
--- Chris Papa
Has become as waste pile euphemous;
There's no refuting
GPS routing,
Makes tables rather ephemerous.
--- Daniel Ford
Of someone between sexes flitting,
Like the talent which
Enables a switch
To pee, whether standing or sitting.
--- Chris Papa
For those who heed hedonist call,
Enjoy pleasure's brevity,
But their longevity
Waits on heart artery's wall.
--- Chris Papa
Do flow more freely after a dram.
Join me in a sip;
Remarks are less flip,
And I'll seem more brilliant than I am.
--- Daniel Ford
At least to the smart folks that know 'em.
And as for the few
Who don't know that's true,
We'll have to work harder to show 'em.
--- Chris Papa
EPIGRAM contest by far won,
With his one-liners
Told wine and diners,
And on the boob tube just for fun.
--- Larry
Felt he was at the top of his class.
But most people thought
Such slick glibness brought
Him title of "Mr Smart Ass".
--- Chris Papa
His quips were neither gentle nor mild.
Each made a sharp point
Like the arm's middle joint.
And left one either chuckling or riled.
--- Norm Brust
Your tactic is sneaky. I knew it!
The bottle you share
Helps your poker flair,
While poor drinking buddies just rue it.
--- Chris Papa
Need not always be an epitaph,
But when the old crones
Can't move their old stones,
It may be time for the cenotaph.
--- Daniel Ford
Some even startle the masses.
The writers I find,
Somewhere in my mind,
As a smarmy bunch of smart-asses.
--- Chris Papa
Sometimes go awry for the demagogue,
Who'd have us believe
In a future reprieve,
While obscuring debts with pettifog.
--- Daniel Ford
At his eulogy, hear his epilogue!
She spoke with a hiss
And said simply this:
"I know he will come back a frog!"
--- Barb
You'll call it your EPIPHANY.
It sometimes is best
To keep close to your chest,
Avoiding a ruckus or tiff, any.
--- Chris Papa
There's no art of writing, 'tis said.
No trials ordinary
EPISTOLARY,
Challenged the recent brain dead.
--- Chris Papa
And its fore-sister anastrophe,
When used together
May be sweet heather,
But more often yield catastrophe.
--- Daniel Ford
Within this short verse but it is for me
A difficult rhyme
Anaphora very short time,
I suffered severe mental dystrophy.
--- Gary Hallock
He proposed "Slick Bill's EPITAPH.
Said his tomb should say
In most playaful way,
"He comforted rod in his staff!"
--- Chris Papa
As Orson Welles' 'Enjoyed a carafe,'
Are found over graves
Of our honored braves,
Heroes who culled wheat from the chaff.
--- Daniel Ford
When we cure some equestrian's nag.
But we breed better germs
In our biotech firms;
That new epizootic's a drag.
--- Eric Seaberg
Has made the cows weak in the knees.
When it comes to my dinner,
I'll stick with a winner;
And tofu's my choice, if you please.
--- Terry Casale
Bring grave danger to those in the fold.
Bearing hoof, horn, or wings,
It doesn't care that it brings
The chance of not growing old.
--- Susan Hawes
The goldfish are all turning blue.
Is it epizootic?
Or chaotic biotic?
Please tell me -- I sure wish I knew.
--- Eric Seaberg
Makes critturs sick, maybe neurotic,
Which makes pet owners
Pull some strange boners,
Like wide use of antibiotics.
--- Daniel Ford
Must be well-yclept for a trick.
For girls stand in line
With him to entwine
Upon his EPONYMOUS dick.
--- Nick
That's something by which I set store.
I prefer restaurants EPONYMOUS
To those anonymous.
I'll not eat in "Salads Galore."
--- Norm Brust
To Rome, more specifically,
Used bathroom at Vatican.
I won't try that again.
Do not want to see a pope pee
--- Gary Hallock
That "Iliad" is EPOPEE,
But I often find
That word in my mind
Translates just as "French Doll" to me.
--- Chris Papa
But why? That's today's mystery.
My mind's on a wrath boom --
It sounds like a bathroom
Activity, if you ask me.
--- Cyn
Since its essence is its brevity.
You don't need an epic
To explore a topic;
Illumination comes from clarity.
--- Norm Brust
We hope will be spiced with levity.
Much practice landing
Helps understanding,
Though it may take some longevity.
--- Daniel Ford
