can’t say made this one up, but it’s one everyone knows:
there once was a maid from japan
whose limericks never would scan
when questioned why
she replied “because I

October 24, 2010 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm #1221171vnishmartemmeodMemberDid I hear you say “rare disease”
I beg you to reconsider please
This is more accurately a pleasure
Of the very highest measure
Now don’t you go be a tease
October 24, 2010 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #1221172vnishmartemmeodMemberminyan gal, to you I must say
Kudos for coming to play
In this sandbox of ours
Building castles and towers
From words as if it were clay
October 24, 2010 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm #1221173vnishmartemmeodMemberNow it’s time to say thank you
To BLINKY who gave us the cue
To start rhyming limericks
It sure has given us kicks
And an outlet for expression too
October 24, 2010 4:39 pm at 4:39 pm #1221174minyan galMembervnishmartemmeod –
I must say I’m with you on that one
Blinky, you’ve given us much fun
I spend all my spare time
wrapped up in five line rhyme
And no longer ever see sun.
October 24, 2010 6:14 pm at 6:14 pm #1221175minyan galMemberI think that I’ve had enough
Of this rhyming limerick stuff
I no longer can work
All my duties I shirk
And I’m looking quite ragged and rough.
October 25, 2010 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #1221176blinkyParticipantMazel tov mazel tov, this is not a ploy
I became an aunt of a lovely baby boy
A vacht nacht and bris
You surely won’t want to miss
Baruch Hashem, my heart is bursting with joy!
October 25, 2010 6:24 pm at 6:24 pm #1221177minyan galMemberBlinky a big Mazel Tov
This is just the news that I love
A new family member
To help us remember
The gifts of Hashem from above.
October 25, 2010 6:31 pm at 6:31 pm #1221178blinkyParticipantminyan and veneshmartem- its terrific,
that you thanked me for starting this topic,
appreciation,
causes elation,
And you made me happy real quick!
Also just a thing to note
your limericks that you both wrote
Are a lot of fun
I hope your not done
please keep them going- you have my vote!
October 25, 2010 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm #1221179blinkyParticipantMinyan Gal, i just noticed a beautiful thing,
You have a compliment for everything,
You seem genuinely happy,
On the new birth in my family,
Lets just hope there will be more simchas coming!
October 26, 2010 12:57 pm at 12:57 pm #1221180bptParticipantMazel tov, Blinky!
Now lets hear the mazel tov we’re all waiting for…… (and remember, simcha goreres simcha!)
October 26, 2010 3:10 pm at 3:10 pm #1221181blinkyParticipantTo make up a limerick is quite cool,
It can be at work or coming home from school
In the spa or when you dine,
Or while you wait your turn on line,
Sitting in traffic, or even by tanning at the pool!
And thank you BP Totty:) Amen.
Any more limericks coming? You didn’t write one in awhile, You had some good ones……
October 26, 2010 8:22 pm at 8:22 pm #1221182bptParticipantNot any time soon, Blink. The “broken telephone” story I undertook will keep me hopping for at least a week.
Unlike my usual posts, the “telephone” story will require thought!
October 27, 2010 7:27 am at 7:27 am #1221183vnishmartemmeodMemberI gotta save the limerick thread
It’s on the bottom almost dead
If no one is going to write
It’ll go down without a fight
There, I done it before going to bed
October 27, 2010 10:55 am at 10:55 am #1221184minyan galMemberVnishmart I thank you dear
For keeping us a place in here
The Coffee Room would be too drab
If not for our humorous gab
I hope I’ve made myself quite clear.
(vnishmartemmeod – please forgive me for abbreviating your name in this limerick – the full name did not fit the meter correctly) MG
October 27, 2010 3:06 pm at 3:06 pm #1221185blinkyParticipantBilly the pest did exist,
He once held a rock in his fist,
It did not miss,
The skunk let out a hiss,
And picked up its tail and went psssssssssssssst!!!
October 27, 2010 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #1221186vnishmartemmeodMemberforegiveness granted for chopping my name
after all it is only a game
as long as you do not slack
and remember to come back
besides, I’m not looking for fame
October 27, 2010 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #1221187oomisParticipantHi V’nishmartemmeod,
I’d like to offer some kovod,
Your name may be long
So would you think it wrong
If we printed it out in Morse Code?
October 27, 2010 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #1221188blinkyParticipantOomis your idea is pretty interesting,
However morse code can get confusing,
Its quite a load
to write in code
We’ll just have to think of something.
How about just plain “vnishmart”
I think that sounds very smart,
If you agree,
than thats what it’ll be,
Let us know so your new name we can start!
October 27, 2010 7:52 pm at 7:52 pm #1221189blinkyParticipantSome CR members are Minyan, Doc, and 80,
Oomis, d a, Squeak and Totty,
ICOT and Gavra,
Sac and Kapusta,
Well Informed, Wolf, apusheta, and Blinky!
(no offense to anyone who wasn’t mentioned- maybe ill come up with another one)
October 27, 2010 7:58 pm at 7:58 pm #1221190minyan galMemberVnishmart said we were forgiven
To chopping her name we were driven
For meter and rhyme
Took far too much time
When using the name she’s now livin’.
October 27, 2010 8:11 pm at 8:11 pm #1221191minyan galMemberAround here my name’s Minyan Gal
And to all I am really a pal
Although I’m not frum
I just love Coffee Room
And feel welcome by you – the Klal.
Although you don’t know me so well
My friends really think that I’m swell
For I donate time and gelt
To those that need help
Money’s raised by the cakes that I sell.
October 27, 2010 8:15 pm at 8:15 pm #1221192not IMemberThere was a boy named Ned
Who never went to bed
He would stay up all night
In the morn was nice and bright
One day he dropped dead!
Had to share my sisters.. From 5th Grade.. was the teachers favorite!
October 27, 2010 8:19 pm at 8:19 pm #1221193blinkyParticipantklal, gelt…-sounds pretty frum to me:)
October 27, 2010 8:24 pm at 8:24 pm #1221194squeakParticipanter, beg to differ. If “klal” rhymes with “pal”…. <headshake>
October 27, 2010 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm #1221195blinkyParticipantNot I- cute. i guess ill also share my sisters..(its goes something like this- dont remember it that well)
There once was a girl in a play,
Break a leg is what they say,
She misunderstood,
And fell on a wood,
And caused a two week delay!
October 28, 2010 2:31 am at 2:31 am #1221196blinkyParticipantModerators this is for you- Minyan gal asked earlier in this thread to have her name changed to “limerycist’ or something, i think its beffitting as she contributed a lot to this thread, so can you change it? (she helped me with my name change so i want to pay her back:) thanx
October 28, 2010 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm #1221197blinkyParticipantThanx mods!!! minyan- how do you like your new name?
October 28, 2010 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm #1221198minyan galMemberBlinquie: I love my new name. Will do a poem about it later when I have more time. Todah Rabah.
October 28, 2010 4:04 pm at 4:04 pm #1221199oomisParticipantThere was a Gal, “Minyan” by name.
She desired not to keep it the same.
Her wishes persisted
To be “Limercist”-ed,
And now she’s gone on to great fame.
October 28, 2010 4:14 pm at 4:14 pm #1221200blinkyParticipantA name change Minyan did persist,
Which the mods seemed to have missed,
So i helped her,
Its sounds so much better,
She really is an extraordinaire limericist!
October 28, 2010 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm #1221201blinkyParticipantoomis one one oh five,
You also keep this thread alive,
Why don’t you add some spice,
A name change would be nice,
Maybe a rhyming wive?
October 28, 2010 6:29 pm at 6:29 pm #1221202minyan galMemberMy new moniker well I adore it
Never heard one quite like this before it
Became my tagline
But by me thats just fine
Hope I don’t have to pay to insure it.
A kippah I’d love to crochet
But I have not yet learned the way
To hold thread and hook
Cannot fathom the book
So for another’s work I’ll pay.
October 29, 2010 2:25 am at 2:25 am #1221203oomisParticipantWhatsa rhyming wive, Minyan Gal?
A name change is not meant to be.
My own suits me just perfectly.
In case you don’t know,
I’m attached to it so,
And anything else just ain’t ME!
October 29, 2010 2:26 am at 2:26 am #1221204oomisParticipantI have to say that this thread and the riddle one are my favorites. They really help get my left-brain right-brain working again!
October 29, 2010 5:31 am at 5:31 am #1221205vnishmartemmeodMemberLike a squirrel to acorns
And a two year old to newborns
I am quite attracted to
This limerick-le-do
Like a bee to a rose among thorns
October 29, 2010 2:36 pm at 2:36 pm #1221206blinkyParticipantWhatsa rhyming wive, Minyan Gal?
Actually oomis i needed to have a word that has the “ive” sound and i know its not a perfect fit but it’ll have to do:)
There once was a boy named Ray
Who all he did was sleep all day,
The time before a test,
All he did was rest,
And yet he still scored an “A”!
October 29, 2010 2:59 pm at 2:59 pm #1221207vnishmartemmeodMembercould it be that his rested mind
automatically knowlege did find
by tapping into innate ability
and outputting it with facility
ignoring studying myths of mankind
October 29, 2010 3:02 pm at 3:02 pm #1221208vnishmartemmeodMemberWhat is it about limericks that enhances your (my!) creative thinking process…? I’m intriqued… as tired as I’ll be, I could still squeeze something out of my brain if I’m doing it via limerick…
October 29, 2010 3:33 pm at 3:33 pm #1221209blinkyParticipantOnce a week i am filled with bliss,
When we dont have it, its sorely missed,
We eat challa and fish,
And cholent so delish,
Baruch Hashem for shabbos!
Have a great shabbos everybody!!!!!!
October 29, 2010 4:18 pm at 4:18 pm #1221210oomisParticipantIt taps into the left side of your brain, when you rhyme words with a specific meter, and btw, a side benefit for us “old foks” is that it helps exercise the mind, much like a crossword puzzle does.
October 29, 2010 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm #1221211minyan galMemberWith serious apologies for my very poor Yiddish. My (very modern and very Zionist) parents sent me to a Hebrew day school and I taught myself to understand Yiddish so that I could understand what my parents were talking about when they didn’t want us to know what they were talking about.
Heint is Shabbos – borei prei hagofen
Macht aufen yayin, nisht aufen bromfen
Auf kiddush mir vell essen
A bissel – zolst nisht fressen
Und gayen in der haim tsu shlofen.
Shabbat Shalom and Shavuah Tov
October 31, 2010 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1221212minyan galMemberOy – because there is noone hosting
I had to bump this posting
Before it disappears
And drives us all to tears
So please begin some boasting.
October 31, 2010 9:45 pm at 9:45 pm #1221213vnishmartemmeodMemberI am one of the freqent limerick contributors
My amazing talents to showcase, of course
No boasting, I’m too humble
Oops… I’m starting to bumble
I better just get back to my chores
November 1, 2010 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm #1221214blinkyParticipantvnnishmart and minyan gal,
Thanx for being such a pal,
When this thread is dumped,
You always have it bumped,
I really got to give it to y’all!
November 1, 2010 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm #1221215msseekerMemberThere was an abuser named Hannity
Who questioned his family’s sanity
Doc said his disorder
Is right on the border
Of a very difficult personality
November 1, 2010 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm #1221216blinkyParticipantmsseeker- love it (welcome to this thread:) Did you make it up?
November 1, 2010 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #1221217msseekerMemberYes. Somehow this thread got me thinking about mental illness. We really should start a serious thread on Borderline Personality Disorder, the worst illness b/c the sicko blames everyone else, and so prevalant in our community causing untold chorbonos. Here’s another one on depression:
There was a young lady named Raizy
Who seemed quite selfish and lazy
Each morning she said
I’m staying in bed
And everyone thought she was crazy
November 1, 2010 7:12 pm at 7:12 pm #1221218msseekerMemberFrogot to thank you for the compliment, Blinky.
November 1, 2010 7:16 pm at 7:16 pm #1221219blinkyParticipantYour welcome! Ahhhhh its nice to have a new face here (not to say that im bored of the regulars here…) Keep them coming!
