Choice of voters victorious,
Meant for career quite glorious,
But fooling around
Means Willy's bound
To legacy merely NOTORIOUS.
--- Chris Papa

To have so much common sense, NOUS,
That rapid, fleeting thoughts on the loose,
Would be held in corral,
Marshaled into chorale,
And save me from the idiot's noose.
--- Daniel Ford

To use that word, still I refuse,
But before Daniel tightens the screws,
I'll stick out my neck
And say, "What the heck?"
We all know no NOUS is good news.
--- Gary Hallock

Be happy for sweet Cinderella;
Seeing her, the Prince said, "Ciao, Bella!"
Her NOVERCAL grief
Was fairly brief,
And in the end, she got her fella.
--- Norm Brust

In many Grimm fairy tales rich,
The NOVERCAL character, witch,
Who warms dear Dad's bed
Where Mom should be 'stead,
To see to his sexual itch.
--- Chris Papa

Our capital's air is quite NOXIOUS,
Supports little ladies quite toxious.
With strong sexual lure,
They will in time, sure,
Punch out 'Slick Willy's time cloxious.
--- Chris Papa

When all has been done and said,
NUGATORY's what little kids dread:
When fun-loving adult
Emphasizes insult,
With a knuckle-rub into the head.
--- Chris Papa

The trifling things called NUGATORY
Are seldom quite adulatory.
But detail attention
Brings rewarding mention
In nighttime works lucubratory. (by candlelight, laborious)
--- Daniel Ford

In statistics, there's a Null set,
Which hasn't been figured out yet.
There's nothing in it,
Not even a bit,
Not one single thing you can get.
--- Larry Falk

The law books eternally cull
Acts that are logically NULL.
There, drivel one finds
From devious minds,
Made lethal by dense language dull.
--- Chris Papa

My limericks, always luminous,
May be said to be bituminous;
They're smutty, indeed,
So there is little need
To expect any are NUMINOUS.
--- Chris Papa

Mysterious, divine NUMINOUS
Signs of religions are luminous,
But may inspire deeds,
Occasional screeds
'Gainst offenses they think ruinous.
--- Daniel Ford

When the adventists knock on our doors,
We oft hide from these persistent bores.
There's no more room in us
For notions NUMINOUS.
And besides, we're behind in our chores.
--- Norm Brust

'Tis a strange phenomenon, dears,
One that a foreigner fears.
Though NUMMARY's money,
Isn't it funny,
SUPERNUMERARY hefts spears?
--- Chris Papa

Rhymsters oft resort to flummery
To create a mood that is summery.
If language they abuse,
It's only to amuse;
Their rewards are rarely NUMMARY.
--- Daniel Ford

If finding an NUNCLE you can't,
Although there seems evidence scant,
You might, without doubt,
Detect one about,
The lady that's known as you "Naunt".
--- Chris Papa

Men seemingly cannot refrain:
After breasts; there they go once again.
Begun as wee searcher,
As Mom sought to NURTURE,
Now grownups they're really a pain.
--- Chris Papa

While NYCHTHEMERON isn't wrong,
The word is much, much too long
To quite neatly fit
In a Cole Porter hit,
With "Night and Day," a tuneful song.
--- Chris Papa

A NYCHTHEMERON is twenty-four hours
Except in theis era of ours.
Today 'twas twenty-five
(Can you believe that jive?)
As EST was decreed by the powers.

(EST - eastern standard time)
--- Norm Brust

Keep vitamin A out of sight;
Nyctalopia's great when it's right.
So you won't have to see
Sophomoric TV,
Our broad culture's ubiquitous blight.
--- Elois

I think there was a reaction stark
When in my old limericks I'd park
The idea NYCTALOPIC
On an ancient topic:
All cats are grey in the dark.
--- Chris

I hope it's not churlish to state,
That most of our pols are third-rate,
Who never would lie
But seem to get by
With great talent to OBFUSCATE.
--- Chris Papa

The language of Law, words held dear,
Are meant to make all things quite clear,
Except when you squint
At very fine print;
To OBFUSCATE, pain in the rear.
--- Chris Papa

OBITER DICTUM, passing remark,
Ought not be any argument's spark,
But like child's wheedle,
It acts as a needle
Under the skin and makes the mood dark.
--- Daniel Ford

She railed at crude OBITER DICTUM,
And rather than be gender victim,
While he expressed glee,
Brought upswards her knee
And right in the "family jewels" kicked him.
--- Chris Papa

Politicians might shun OBJURATION,
And earn the respect of their nation,
If tall tales they'd stop,
Halt all the "cow flop",
And rhetorical wild flagellation.
--- Chris Papa

The subject of her fiery OBJURGATION
Was her partner's post-orgasmic deflation.
"I guess you're done,
But I've just begun,
So wake up and fulfill your obligation!"
--- Norm Brust

Man seeking relief for his "horn",
Was subject to maidenly scorn.
Such objurgation
Brought masturbation,
And quick relief for the forlorn.
--- Chris Papa

OBLIVION is what awaits us all,
Once we're placed beneath the pall.
So I'm not going quiet;
To hell with my diet.
Crack that bottle and let's have a ball.
--- Norm Brust

The moralists take a stern measure,
Of how humans devote their leisure,
And scorn oft employ,
For those who'd enjoy,
OBLIVIOUS to all, save their pleasure.
--- Chris Papa

Obscure, becloud, or OBNUBLIATE,
The general effect is to obfuscate.
Wherein the clouding
And heavy shrouding
Requires a mind of quite nubile trait.
--- Daniel Ford

Sycophant, OBSEQUIOUS toad
Says, "Dump on me, give me your load.
I've no spine you see,
In sincerity,
Consider me part of your road."
--- Chris Papa

OBSEQUIOUS worker would crawl
And pick up what big boss let fall.
Result of such fawning,
With new job a-dawning,
The SYCOPHANT won over all.
--- Chris Papa

This is file jdl

Funereal rites of OBSEQUY
For the famed may bring some colloquy,
But notorious fame
May carry more shame
And verbal abuse of obloquy.
--- Daniel Ford

Nanki-Poo of "Mikado" story,
Is promised a state OBSEQUY,
With fireworks grand
Though he's not at hand
To witness the swell finale.
--- Chris Papa

OBSEQUY from what I have heard,
Means you cannot get in the last word!
With women, my dear,
This news is, I fear,
Something which to me hadn't occurred!
--- Barb

Those nice round stones of OBSIDIAN
Along the Jordan meridian,
Were a joy bringer
To a rock slinger
Of towering feats Davidian.
--- Daniel Ford

They say those Neanderthal fools
Were skilled in OBSIDIAN tools,
Which helped them to tame
The mammoths and game
Long before anti-NRA rules. (National Rifle Assoc)
--- Chris Papa

When Fathers in Philadelphia hall
Drafted document which freed us all,
They had not in mind
A celebration kind
Of OBSTREPEROUS Fourth, free-for-all.
--- Larry McGrath

As November contest draws near,
OBSTREPEROUS din we will hear.
But nothing is true,
Count on old John Q
To once again turn a deaf ear.
--- Phil Kinay

The unruly child OBSTREPEROUS
In restaurant with noise would pepper us.
Parents uncaring
Won't oft be sharing
For most people treat them as leperous.
--- Daniel Ford

Too long I rhymed and I punned,
Now my brain has begun to OBTUND.
If I continue to sit thus,
I will not see fitness,
But I will see my butt grow rotund.
--- Phil Kinay

My spending I'll have to OBTUND,
Before my credit gets over-runned.
Just one more dollar
And the bank will holler
And the next thing I know, I'll be dunned.
--- Norm Brust

With gin her date would obtund her,
Then his behavior just stunneed her.
'Cause as she passed out,
The crass oafish lout
Quick spread her sweet thighs asunder.
--- Chris Papa

Knights first used corks to OBTURATE,
Lest rivals their wives penetrate.
Then a clever Celt
Invented the "belt";
That way the ladies could menstruate.
--- Norm Brust

When pasta fagioli he ate,
Giuseppe, ere going on a date
With visions of bliss
With Venetian miss,
Used wine cork to vent OBTURATE.
--- Chris Papa

Some people with weird minds perverse,
Have a tendency to converse
In a very odd way;
Don't mean what they say,
But state things in ways quite OBVERSE.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a satyr named Nate,
who sought some good feels on a date.
But he met stacked Alice,
Who smacked him malice
And would his swift moves OBVIATE.
--- Chris Papa

It's pleasant to use OBVIATE,
Politeness is such a nice trait,
Than give a loud slam,
And "Don't give a damn!,
When someone you're showing the gate.
--- Chris Papa

Although my old car is a crate,
The large engine in it's just great.
It pulls me up hills,
Accelerates, thrills,
And car trouble does obV8.
--- Bob Dvorak

A preemptive move does OBVIATE,
If target it does obliviate;
If not, one will soon
Expect counter tune
To come whistling from the obdurate.
--- Daniel Ford

Old Reno OBVIATES humor,
Monopoly's not a tumor.
Company's demise,
Who lives and who dies.
Winner is choice of consumer.
--- Darryl

The delivery of choice, OCCIPUT,
With a "breach", out comes baby's butt.
Then mom's in a stew,
Child just won't go through,
And sometimes her belly is cut.
--- Chris Papa

The Yanks of New York did collude
The young Marlin's win to OCCLUDE;
While giving their best,
They failed in the test,
But kept from becoming unglued.
--- Elois

Celestial block, OCCULTATION,
Shielding view from Earth-bound station.
And interest sparks
In study of quarks,
Till similar usurpation.
--- Daniel Ford

Mooning may be a sensation;
For me, I prefer OCCULTATION.
Then someone else peeks
At insulting cheeks,
Deserving stern flagellation.
--- Chris Papa

OCCULTATION reminded
Star-crossed lovers are blinded;
Pay no other court,
Not at all the sort
Who had my friend Chris behinded.
--- Daniel Ford

In OCKHAM'S RAZOR, you'll find
The key to a less cluttered mind.
And when all is said,
Perhaps, won't lose head,
For tail, or some other behind.
--- Chris Papa

While the octopus swims in the sea,
The OCTOTHORP conspicuously
Is the sign of "number"
And does encumber
The dials of the phone company.
--- Chris Papa

The OCTOTHORPE icon I know,
Is there on the phone dial, just so.
But most folks on Earth
Will know its real worth
Is for game of hot "Tic Tac Toe."
--- Chris Papa

I rented a gorgeous abode
To someone I thought that I knowed.
She turned out to be
Of conscience quite free,
And never paid me rent that was ODE.
--- Cyn

That Grecian urn inspiring an ODE
Did double duty as a commode,
Holding each little
Plip, plop, and spittle
That might have cause pewter to corrode.
--- Daniel Ford

The lyric celebrations of ODE
Exalt our heroes 'long life's road.
In space commodious
And never odious,
Or disparaging the horse you rode.
--- Daniel Ford

If your vase inspires an ODE,
I suggest you avoid that mode.
It's already been done
By a poetic top gun.
It's a row that's been thoroughly hoed.
--- Norm Brust

A guy I know once wrote an ODE
About his quite humble abode.
In language florid,
Described place horrid,
Which wouldn't pass for a commode.
--- Chris Papa

Feel sorry for the poetic lad;
He did his best with what he had.
But he'd never rate
A grand laureate,
So now he pens limericks bad.
--- Chris Papa

The modern theater, ODEUM,
Surrounded by lights of sodium,
Has seats commodious
And tones melodious,
But too often tales of odium.
--- Daniel Ford
