When merry maid contrives to mate him,
But later as wife, will berate him,
From history we learn;
From wedded bliss yearn,
Comes, if she'll EDULCORATE him.
--- Chris Papa

For limericks to be EFFICACIOUS,
They need be a wee bit salacious,
With nothing too tame
So others exclaim,
"Did he write that? Oh, gracious!"
--- Chris Papa

With effect desired, EFFICACIOUS,
It seems that action's not fellatious.
Though high blood pressure
May wipe smile Cheshire.
From some old guys feeling flirtatious.
--- Daniel Ford

They say Viagra is EFFICACIOUS,
But I, for one, am tenacious
In avoiding drugs.
I much prefer hugs,
And stimulation unabashedly fellatious.
--- Norm Brust

EFFRONTERY decency checks,
When our CEO all reasons vex.
Fellatio ain't
Despite notions quaint,
Equivalent to having sex!
--- Chris Papa

EFFRONTERY, shameless and bold
Is needed in leaders, I'm told.
The supression of shame
Is the name of the game --
They're all of them pressed from one mould.
--- Eva Amata

So don't be affronted, you guys,
If your leaders are shameless, not wise.
Politics in your country
Requires EFFRONTERY:
The way to the top is through lies.
--- Eva Amata

Katrina begged for indulgence
By moon's radiant effulgence.
Her unrequited love
From Heaven above
And G&S with Mikado made sound sense.
--- Barb

The blonde clothed in gold chains aplenty;
Hung on her neck ten or twenty.
She begged no indulgence
For jeweled EFFULGENCE
Garnered from rich cognoscenti.
--- Chris Papa

With radiant, splendid EFFULGENCE
The happy mushroom in divulgence,
Belies its position
To hunters on mission
To harvest forest floor, emulgence. (extraction)
--- Daniel Ford

To make sure he'd not seem a dull gent,
In paintings an aura EFFULGENT
Surrounds those hallowed,
As artists explode
In bright excess self-indulgent.
--- Chris Papa

EGREGIOUS, meaning horrid, flagrant,
Apt for foreign policy vagrant,
Who reacts ad hoc,
With eyes on the clock,
Leaving egg on face foully fragrant.
--- Daniel Ford

I once met a man from Bere Regis,
And asked "What the devil's "egregious"?"
He said, "It's too boring
To tell," started snoring,
Considering the whole thing to teejus.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Bombs under cruel NATO aegis,
For Bill, legacy prestigious,
To help us forget,
How blue dress got wet,
And moral lapses EGREGIOUS.
--- Chris Papa

We're mired in bad Balkan bog,
But if we'd our memories jog,
We'd see once again,
The inflicted pain,
Is just new case of "Wag the Dog!"
--- Chris Papa

He was hardly what you'd call athletic,
But his sports-stats memory was EIDETIC.
He was one of those bores
Who knew all the scores,
And his friends all thought him pathetic.
--- Norm Brust

The ingenue suffered through nights;
His promise ending in "mights".
While producer slept,
No promises kept,
With dreams of EIDETIC delights.
--- Chris Papa

As a teen-aged fountain clerk,
(I hate the term "soda jerk")
One of my tricks
Was to yell "86"
When the time came for me to quit work.
--- Norm Brust

The bartender may drunks EIGHTY-SIX,
Though latter may think it dirty tricks,
And sling a bottle
At bartender's wattle;
No thought to resulting cicatrix.
--- Daniel Ford

To be EIGHTY-SEXED is all right,
For age to go into the night.
That's more than four-score,
And if we get more,
We sure look a terrible sight.
--- Chris Papa

Poor smokers now get EIGHTY-SIXED,
Since the law says that cafes must nix
The lighting up butts,
So nicotine nuts
Must amble outside for their fix.
--- Chris Papa

He bartended paying for school,
Till state changed the who's at fault rule:
If customer's lit,
The server gets hit.
He EIGHTY-SIXED JOB; he's no fool.
--- Elois

The pyramids, monuments grand!
Garbage dumps on the ohter hand,
Seen in EKISTICS,
No need for mystics,
Memorial sorely unplanned.
--- Chris Papa

With chances for wealth, EL DORADO
Prompts many to act with bravado.
The get their cumeuppance
Which is not worth tuppence,
Executioner for The Mikado.
--- Daniel Ford

EL DORADO, for which many scheme,
Though worthy goal it may oft seem,
With wealth all around
As conquistadors found,
May only be some foolish pipe dream.
--- Chris Papa

Supported, ELEEMOSYNARY,
Are church, abbey, and seminary,
Though often the most
They get is the host
For their efforts to keep in airy.
--- Daniel Ford

ELEEMOSYNARY's a word,
Whose use is a bit of absurd,
To keep us confused,
But lawyers it's used,
When charity's "party of third".
--- Chris Papa

Penultimate spot, ELEVENTH HOUR,
May produce results a little sour,
When procrastination
Has been the temptation,
That robbed any planning of power.
--- Daniel Ford

I file my tax at the ELEVENTH HOUR,
Hoping others will also shower
The IRS with their forms
And in these paper storms,
My deductions will smell like a flower.
--- Norm Brust

A suspenseful plot really hums;
Of hope there is just a few crumbs.
Yet one has belief
There will be relief;
A ELEVENTH HOUR cavalry comes.
--- Chris Papa

He gazed at church relic triptychal,
Whose meaning was ELLIPTICAL,
Unable to see
What symbols might be,
Except to a medievalist cryptical.
--- Chris Papa

Those ovide figures ELLIPTICAL
Presage messages quite mystical,
Though how Easter Bunny
Got involved is funny,
And perhaps apocalyptical.
--- Daniel Ford

I just bought a trainer elliptical.
Because of the fat rolls that are typical
Of any new mom,
Who once was a bomb,
But now might not pass a physical.
--- Sheryl A Lemma

This is file ifl

He wooed her with ELOQUENT pitch,
And later when groin began to itch,
Used more forceful terms
'Cause she had some germs
That came from resisitant drug, niche.
--- Chris Papa

An EMBONPOINT figure like pillow
Won't fly away quick when sails billow
And won't harm a thingy
As do women springy,
Those slender young wisps of the willow.
--- Daniel Ford

There once was a fellow named Juan
Who only loved gals EMBONPOINT.
If you were slim
You were not for him!
Just the thought of a tryst made him yawn!
--- Barb

A senorita from San Juan,
Was inclined to soft EMBONPOINT;
All flesh, nothing phoney,
No prominence bony,
To jab you while getting it on.
--- Chris Papa

Soft EMBONPOINT's much preferred form,
No concave depressions to gorm. (daub with sticky matter)
So when having sex
A shape that's convex
Makes it neater and nice to perform.
--- Fran

EMBONPOINT with excessive poundage
Makes people look biggage and roundage.
Without diet care,
It's unlikely or rare,
He or she will live on to a sound age.
--- Fran

When trans-sexual folks EMBRANGLE,
They fight to decided who wil dangle,
Or who will receive,
In game of deceive,
But work out a mutual angle.
--- Chris Papa

I'm sorry to have to embrangle
My friend Chris in hissy-fit wrangle.
But he shouldn't make jokes
About trans-sexual folks
Whose crotches have been put through a mangle.
--- Norm Brust

The folks who have an empty plate,
Seek to U.S. to EMIGRATE.
It's all right with me,
If patient they'd be,
And in the long legal line wait.
--- Chris Papa

My grankfolks from Sicily came,
Seeking their fortune or fame.
Quit poverty deep
To climb the hill steep,
But they played by the rules of the game.
--- Chris Papa

They wern't illegal wetbacks;
They waited; filed papers in stacks.
Our laws they obeyed;
Worked hard at their trade;
Thrived and were quick to pay tax.
--- Chris Papa

So that is the story, my friend;
The thought that I wish to send.
If we have more room
For those in deep gloom,
We never should fairness suspend.
--- Chris Papa

EMINENCE GRISE, if you please,
Is the power behind what we sees.
As with Bush and Cheney
Though I'm not complainy,
Which guy has more college degrees?
--- Peter Wilkins

Osama does as he would please,
A sort of EMINENCE GRISE.
Wrapped, it is said,
In a nice diapered head,
And flowing beard down to his knees.
--- Chris Papa

In politics, the EMINENCE GRISE
Has more power than boss, the big cheese.
He calls the shots
And hatches the plots
With far fewer people to please.
--- Norm Brust

The power that's behind the throne
By EMINENCE GRISE is well known.
When the coup comes with guns,
He flees, flies and runs
When he knows that his cover is blown.
--- Peter Wilkins

Her chastity's chains to unshackle,
She planned an EMPRISE she could tackle.
She chose a guy who
Was virginal, too.
And venture turned into debacle.
--- Elois

The daring chivalry of EMPRISE
Should make a romantic enterprise,
A great adventure
Without debenture,
Yet the bills do come due, I surmise.
--- Daniel Ford

It may come as no small surprise,
To dwell in Alaska is EMPRISE!
This winter, the snow
That we shoveled, you know,
Was opportunity for exercise!
--- Barb

He was more foolhardy than wise,
So when he sought a sexual EMPRISE,
For lady love svelt,
With delta of smelt,
He got the worst that two bucks buys.
--- Chris Papa

Because he had the two bucks paid,
I thought he had hired a mermaid;
Part fish though she be,
No delta had she,
But she knew all the tricks of the trade.
--- Elois

Celestial heights EMPYREAL,
Achieved majesty imperial.
These won't come to pass
If you release gas,
From eating way too much cereal.
--- Daniel Ford

He soared towards EMPYREAL heights,
With Wifie on Saturday nights,
When instead of hopin',
He found she was open
To what he thought was his by rights.
--- Chris Papa

Mother's side relatives are ENATE.
Some of the worst are characters innate,
That love to argue
'Bout facts and our view
Of world as corrupting on in eight.
--- Daniel Ford

ENCAUSTIC is work done with care,
To add something for world to share.
Though others wax use,
In attempt to lose,
What they feel is unlovely hair.
--- Chris Papa

Pigmented wax painting ENCAUSTIC
Appeals e'en to viewers agnostic.
For they too, can see
The technique's beauty
And texture's feeling diagnostic.
--- Daniel Ford

Those boos comprise no ENCOMIUM,
But only some sort of a phony one,
That might havoc play
With usual way,
Those boos are more likely opprobrium
--- Daniel Ford

Lavishing praise, ENCOMIUM,
When all about's pandemonium,
Itself is worthy
Of praise quite earthy
And prizes plated with chromium.
--- Daniel Ford

The speaker up at the podium,
Lethal as deadly Plasmodium, (malaria - McW)
Droned on to excess
And as you might guess,
Received only boos as ENCOMIUM.
--- Chris Papa

Comes that state of love that we're in,
Which helps our old world take its spin.
From hormones ENDOGENOUS
Brings feelings erogenous
At place that's three spans from the chin.
--- Chris Papa

ENDOGENOUS drives from within
We reject, since they may lead to sin.
These restraints, exogenous,
Tend to lodge in us,
Causing thoughts of what might have been.
--- Norm Brust

Ernie would ENERVATE Edie,
Revealing some perversions seedy,
That they might indulge
'Cept for her pregnant bulge,
Left him in satyr's state needy.
--- Chris Papa

He oft became ENERVATED
Before his desire was sated.
Says Doc, "Here' blue pill,
So go get your fill."
His nights are now triple X-rated.
--- Norm Brust

There nothing to me that's feebler
Than an aging ENFANT TERRIBLE,
Like this nut, Le Pen,
Who gets jollies when
He makes Frenchmen shout, "Horrible!"
--- Norm Brust
