There once was a flirt of Castanet
A more deadly flirt no one had met
But he flirted so hard
He tripped over a card
And never again posed a threat.

There once was a mod name Jo
Who thought she had such a huge toe
She stubbed it two times
Tripped over a dime
And now it’s not huge but it glows!

There once was a lass named Fancy
She was even more fancy than Nancy
She danced with the men
Time and time again
All the way up the Yangtze!

There once was a shoe that was blue
But a big toe went through it too
So the shoe was untied
The laces were fried
And someone had to use glue

There once was a boat named Graves
It sailed prettily amid the waves
It sadly ran aground
Into the dog pound
What a noisy welcome they gave

There once was a crow in a rhyme
Who loved birches and willows and crime
He loved dropping things on your toes
And the wind when it blows
But at his best when he stole all your dimes

There once was a whale in the sea
Who swam with a dolphin named Zee
A tsunami rolled by
And Zee started to cry
But the whale didn't fret nor did flee

There once was a lass so charming
Everyone found her alarming
They avoided her so
She left town to go
Live on a farm and do farming

There once was a lad named Gama,
who tried to disagree with Mama.
Though he thought he was a fighter,
along came a lad named Briter,
and now all that is left is Drama.. :127:

YES, I DO realise that I suck at this.. :127:

psst...is there a "rule" for limericks?? IE; syllables..etc..?? :oops:

Thought it was pretty good Crash - keep going.

As far as this thread goes, the only rules you need are the ones you followed! Limericks are for fun, and yours is fun.

Lines one, two and five should rhyme and the third and fourth should rhyme, which yours do. There is a certain desired cadence, which you could look up online, I suppose, but it really isn't important for just-in-fun limericks!

There once was a forum for fun
The members they loved a good pun
They posted their rhymes
Full of mirth and good times
So nobody reached for a gun

There once was a "young" lady named Crash
who usually avoided the lash,
try as she might,
to avoid the fight,
she normally got sent out with the trash.

Love it!

There once was a moddie called Ferri
She tried so hard to be scary
Her halo was rusted
Crooked and crusted
Too heavy by far to carry

There was a fun lady named Tripp,
Who on " 7 " she only would sip.
" Dirty Hookers, by the way"
"Are delicious" she'd say.
For those who would ' Shoot from the Lip'!!
