Limericks!

[Mary Sue]

Hello again RPA!
Are you getting excited??? I sure am! Have you SEEN all the contests we have for you yet?
Well, to continue the fun (and to share in our love of writing), I have yet another contest for you!

Who doesn't love a good limerick? They're delightfully entertaining!
But they're harder to write than you may think, so break out your quills, slap on your lucky clovers, and hide your pots of gold from Naz!
(A bit to late for the leprechaun jokes you say? Pish Posh! Leprechaun's are cool.)

So here are the rules:

1. Your limerick must be five lines
2. It must abide by RPA's rules
3. You can submit up to two limericks
4. Post submissions in this thread
5. Keep chit chat down to a minimum
6. Have fun!



The deadline for submissions is: April 28

Limericks will be judged by the staff, and the winners will be posted after the deadline!

Question: Limericks are known for and traditionally have been described thus: "From a folkloric point of view, the form is essentially transgressive; violation of taboo is part of its function."

Is there going to be an inherent conflict here with Rule #2 if someone should write a boldly offensive limerick here?

Just finding out ahead of time for certain interested parties.

"A limerick is a kind of a witty, humorous, or nonsense poem, especially one in five-line anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme scheme (AABBA), which is sometimes obscene with humorous intent."

So if you're asking if it can be obscene, which can also be offensive to some, I have to say I'm reminded of a man from Nantucket. Yeah, it can. I ask that if anyone is going to take the obscene approach they spoiler it.

If you're asking, which I don't think you are, if it can be insulting to another member or particular race or the like, then no it can't as stated in the RPA rules


Being abusive, elitist, or harassing another member for any reason is not allowed. Any grievance given due to race, nation, sex, creed, etc.. will not be tolerated.

There ye go laddy! (drunk) XD

[Jacogos]

Some believe that writing limericks is hard.
By golly, what's wrong with those lards?
As a matter of fact
And no, I don't act
It's easier than shuffling cards!

:P

WARNING. It's...mature but I don't know how to spoiler it.


There once was a woman named Jade
Who sucked all the men and got paid
She slept around town
Even with Mr. Brown
Who told her, "LOL enjoy getting aids."

[Old Gregg]

Thanks, Anne! XD

[Ace of Hearts™]

There once was a member named Ace
Who had a such a beautiful face.
All the ladies wanted him.
Even a guy, named Tim.
and he was a good detective, solving every case.

I've been around the internet for ages
written hundreds and hundreds of pages
seen forums in flames
had dozens of names
but I'm just a poor player on stages!

[Old Gregg]

There once was a man named Old Gregg
Who had both parts between his legs
He got a downstairs mix up
Early day he tips his cup up
Has Bailley's for breakfast and not eggs.
