but, I'll give it a try for Dr. Zeus
and his contest at his blog 'William the Coroner'.
He gave a choice of two topics... Primate or Prime Mate.
my entry:
There once was a great ape named Harry,
who was searching for his soul mate to marry.
He traveled the world,
visiting zoo after zoo,
but tearfully cried "They're too hairy!"
William awards a care package sent to one of our
soldiers serving in harm's way.
We have until Friday to make this interesting. Go.
o.k. went.
ReplyDelete:o)
BTW, all 100,000 bikes roaring back Nawth. Right by my place. Heh.
Excellent! Gotta love limericks, they're the horrid but loveable second cousin to poetry!
ReplyDeleteThere once was a woman named Jean,
ReplyDeleteWhose haikus showed a mind sharp and lean.
Her limerick 'bout an ape
Left me scratchin' my grape,
I'll admit, I'm amazed
'Cause it's clean!
I know a couple of dirty ones I learned in boot camp 25 years ago.
ReplyDeleteLove this one Jean! When is voting, on Friday?
ReplyDeleteJoan, I saw yours. It rawked!
ReplyDeleteIrrel, you nailed it :-)
B and B, you crack me up!
(and, do be careful with the grape:-)
Mark, let's hear some!
Freddie, the deadline is Friday 5 pm but I think William picks the winner himself.
I thought you were stuck on haiku...
ReplyDeleteNow there's something else we should do...
I haven't been blogging much
I'm completely out of touch
And this limerick sucks, too...
You've been missed, Deadman!
ReplyDeleteLimericks! I love'em. Use them all the time.
ReplyDeleteEven when I ain't even paid a dime.
And they're easy to sing...
they are a singin' thing....
And make things fun to remember in rhyme.
Berry, you oughtta send one in to the Coroner for his contest week after next :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. My dad was a big limerick fan, when we were still kids. He'd get these books...Lear? Like that.
