QUINCUNX rolled along with a deuce,
In dice games will be of great use.
While hope quickly dies,
Along with snake-eyes,
Or sixes in double caboose.
--- Chris Papa

QUINQUAGENARIAN reached fifty,
Still feeling quite fit and quite shifty,
With fifty to go
Till century show
And all its developments nifty.
--- Daniel Ford

QUINQUAGENARIAN, just so
Was I, quite a few years ago.
Seemed old when a teen,
But my current scene
Sees it as youth all aglow.
--- Chris Papa

I'm a quinquagenarian who
Is wishing that it wasn't true.
But I understand
It's alternative hand
Is just a dead hullabaloo!
--- Maggie

When Social Security comes,
And arthritis cripples your thumbs,
Age 50 looks good.
At that time you could
Cavort with so many old chums.
--- Chris Papa

They now have their arteries clogged
Or mental capacity fogged.
As the decades turn,
For 50 they yearn,
Recalling those good years they logged.
--- Chris Papa

Puppy love, teen age quintessence,
May lead to a long convalescence,
With baby to feed.
If sex teens need,
Should have birth control acquiescence.
--- Chris Papa

Distillations produce QUINTESSENCE,
Which in verse some see as putresence.
We, nevertheless,
Will never confess
We write to delay our senescence.
--- Daniel Ford

The most typical is QUINTESSENCE,
A quality like luminescence
That comes from within,
May glow like a grin,
And is seen even in senescence.
--- Daniel Ford

Our limericks, QUINTESSENCE of fun,
Though to lexicon you may run,
Are writ with great guile
To help make you smile,
Or chuckle a bit when they're done.
--- Chris Papa

A QUISLING is not very nice.
He probably wouldn't think twice
To rat on his brother,
Or turn in his mother
For a rather minimal price.
--- Harold

Collaborating traitor, QUISLING,
With his opportunistic chiseling,
Made his compatriots pay,
And if each had his way,
That QUISLING would be forever sizzling.
--- Daniel Ford

A QUISLING's an object of scorn,
Exposed with all decency shorn,
Who'll wantonly sell,
His soul into hell,
Betraying those to whom he's born.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a quite nerdy queer,
Who collected his hich-tech gear.
But his search QUIXOTIC
For a lover robotic,
Was a inner tube and a long-necked beer.
--- Norm Brust

Though impractical and QUIXOTIC
Are oft thought romantic, exotic.
Disasterous results
From overblown tumults,
Get one classified as neurotic.
--- Daniel Ford

As you wish! Whatever! QUODLIBET!
Melange of Mozart, rap, and musette,
Clap-trap and Musak,
Beethoven, Bachrach;
Arguments sharp such music does whet.
--- Daniel Ford

As you wish! Whatever! QUODLIBET!
China's view of concern for Tibet.
They brook no dissent
In temple or tent,
Stifling critics with neck tourniquette.
--- Daniel Ford

Perhaps that conducter raged inside,
Because bottom of Ninth, reached with pride, (Beethoven's)
Was now jeopardized
By lobotomized
Basses who had the score tied.
--- Daniel Ford

QUODLIBET, such fray's always in,
Ranging from whence came first sin,
Or arguments dread
About if God's dead,
Or angel on head of a pin.
--- Chris Papa

The concert conducter exploded
Into a wild rage when he noted
That he was beset
With strange QUODLIBET
Because all the basses were loaded!
--- Observer

While most men can jingle their coins,
In pockets in pants near their loins,
Those architect guys
Help their egos rise
By sticking their stuccos with QUOINS.
--- Chris Papa

QUONDAM means that in former day,
When young dam might roll in the hay
With lads contry-wide,
Till she became bride,
When her ways were buried as "nee".
--- Chris Papa

Poor guy felled by marital strife,
Contemplated the old single life.
And yearned for the day,
'Twas all right to say,
"Oh, you mean my damn QUONDAM wife!"
--- Chris Papa

The QUORUM for sex should be two.
No Robert's to rule what they do.
The detailed agenda
Depends on their gender --
But nothing, I trust, too beaucoup.
--- Nick

Our Senate, I find, a queer forum,
Where speeches are made without QUORUM.
Which is probably okay,
Because what the dudes say
To fellow pols surely would bore 'em.
--- Chris Papa

Ten Jews formed a minyan or QUORUM.
With sacred scrolls opened before 'em.
As they chanted their prayers,
They played with the hairs
Of their sideburns, a breach of decorum.
--- Norm Brust

The day I use QUOTHA, indeed,
Will be when I am truly in need
Of a Scrabble bite,
Though other folks might
Think it's an attempt to mislead.
--- Chris Papa

"Surrender?", the captain said, "Quotha!
I shall not yield one mere iota;
On this I do bank;
I'll readily outflank
You and add you to my yearly quota."
--- Bob Dvorak

"In God's truth," he did say with "QUOTHA!"
When to mate he plighted his troth, a
Moment too soon
For it caused her to swoon,
And on fallen woman he was loath ta.
--- Daniel Ford

The daily is as QUOTIDIAN,
Ordinary as obsidian.
As we demolish
And daily polish,
The beauty becomes mere Midian.
--- Daniel Ford

Hermit Dave lives in cave, dark and ripe;
The "lech of all leches", no hype.
It isn't a fiction,
There's no contradiction;
He's not the QUOTIDIAN type.
--- Chris Papa

They found the poor guy blue and black;
The victim of deadly bushwhack.
The perp, so it seems,
Was the gal of his dreams,
For she tortured him on her large RACK.
--- Gary Hallock

A framework for torture was the RACK,
Where bodies were stretched up a track
And thus made quite slim
Or torn limb from limb,
In hopes information would come back.
--- Daniel Ford

This is file jsl

Don Juan, the roue, who'd sack 'em up,
Got caught in his frontal attack 'em up.
His punishment dire
Would surgeon require
In dungeon where they'd RACK him up.
--- Chris Papa

An old man, RACONTEUR magnifique,
When lasses libido he'd tweak,
Was told to shut up.
"I'm a lamb you can't tup.
And your tale's just a boring antique."
--- Chris Papa

Young RACONTEUR's tales when he'd dine
Needed no inspiration from wine.
Asked if stories rife,
Came from his own life,
He said, "No sir, I get them online."
--- Elois

Scheherazade, Arab Miss odd,
Who, when pasha wanted her bod,
Told long tales instead
Of going to bed;
RACONTEUR, who was thus spared the rod.
--- Chris Papa

Miss Parton knows why men pursue her,
And she, the shrewd entrepreneur,
Exploits this male lust
And never goes bust,
When she takes her big raconteur.
--- Chris Papa

The mangy old nag, rank and RADDLED,
For too many years has been saddled;
To get on its back
Requires one lack
Good sense or possess a brain addled.
--- Chris Papa

Eschew the canoe, old and RADDLED,
Which over steep falls has been paddled.
Life's metaphors speak,
Avoiding the leak,
Or see sweet success skedaddled.
--- Chris Papa

The rakish and vulgar lads RAFFISH,
Who take advantage, yet are laughish,
Remind me of trash
With manners so rash,
They're like some bottom-feeding catfish.
--- Daniel Ford

The RAFFISH young lads may excite
The ladies with attitudes quite
The devil-may-care,
Who would their bed share,
Spill seed and flee into the night.
--- Chris Papa

The masses, with males all RAGTAG,
Whose priapic wants never flag,
Are a bunch of loose nuts
In their daily ruts;
Intent of ever playing the stag.
--- Chris Papa

Buffoon Bob, fond of RAILLERY,
Searched always for 'piece of tailery.'
Tumbled by fate
For underaged date,
And now has been sentenced to jailery.
--- Chris Papa

Raising Cain can often weigh
In when one's lost chance to play.
Like on those cold nights
When marital rights
Find: "Honey, I've headache today."
--- Chris Papa

I rarely get angry, in the main;
I am not given to raising cain.
But if a maitre d' makes me wait
After I've phone in a date,
Asswards I become a royal pain.
--- Norm brust

Fomenting trouble and raising Cain
Does give one quite a social stain.
Not treatment as sugar,
But rather a booger
And as common nuisance and pain.
--- Daniel Ford

A RAMADA by any other name,
We'd call it a succah, the same,
But for just seven days
To remember the ways
Of forebeears, who through desert came.
--- Esther

The RAMADA ravaged by rain
In that soggy section of Spain,
Was not the best spot
For barbeque hot,
Where fire never flickered on plain.
--- Chris Papa

The long, leisurely walk, a RAMBLE,
Can quickly turn into a scramble,
If as the gander,
You should meander
Into a briar patch or bramble.
--- Daniel Ford

Aquiver with Cupid's sharp dart,
Preamble is how you should start.
Though foreplay delays,
It certainly pays.
So RAMBLE -- then aim for the heart!
--- Nick

With today's word, it's worthy to note
The etymological quote.
I'd never gamble,
That source of RAMBLE
Is urgings of satyr or goat.
--- Chris Papa

I am glad we have RAMBO guys,
Though little behind muscle lies,
They behave like slobs,
But do dirty jobs,
That no one would take, otherwise.
--- Chris Papa

There once was a RAMBUNCTIOUS ram
Who was quick to serve up a "wham-bam."
To RAMBUNCTIOUS ewe,
He'd whisper words few,
Ending with, "Baah, baah, thank you ma'am.
--- Chris Papa

The exhuberant ram RAMBUNCTIOUS,
A lanolin addict compunctious,
Rubbed mate in glorious
Manner uxorious,
Though to some he was a ram unctious.
--- Daniel Ford

The ruffian, scoundrel, RAMPALLION,
May think he is women's gift stallion,
But they'd prefer gelding
And oyster parts melding
In fricasee with sauted scallion.
--- Daniel Ford

Sylvester, that scowling Italian,
Styles himself as Stallone Stallion.
But I think that Rocky
Is much too much cocky;
A mere grunting RAMPALLION.
--- Chris Papa

Our sports stars behavior, abhorring:
Drugs, drinking, gambling, whoring,
But trait of uncouth
Goes back to Babe Ruth;
That RAMPALLION led league in scoring.
--- Phil Kinay

My word of the day then is "random",
But rhymes for this, though I have scanned 'em,
Are pitifully few,
So what can I do,
But this silly game to abandon.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Matilda had bad taste in men,
Picked the same kind, no surprise then.
They were tall and RANGY,
Inclined to look mangy;
None rooster to her longing hen.
--- Chris Papa

It does RANKLE me, like a tooth ache,
Whenever I tax payment make.
Since most of what's sent
To our government,
Goes as "pork", to those on the take.
--- Chris Papa

Anger in others does RANKLE,
Causing discomfort and some crankle,
Along with escape
To whiskey and grape,
From beasties that bite at the ankle.
--- Daniel Ford

It RANKLES me when I'm in love,
Dreaming he's from heaven above,
To wake and find out
He's naught but a lout;
What could I have been thinking of.
--- Barb

There once was a young RAPPAREE,
Who stole everything he could see;
Then this robber dread
Changed to rapper instead.
His gangsta songs keep him comfy.
--- Chris Papa

The robber guerilla RAPPAREE
Doesn't choose weapons with filigree,
But rather a shiv
For death or to live,
With a few friends for the shivaree.
--- Daniel Ford

Rob Roy was a RAPSCALLION rare,
A Scotsman who scuffled his share.
He wore a sword hilt
Above a short kilt,
So he might "moon" his foes with a flair.
--- Chris Papa
