It seems I can not stop thinking
Even while eating or drinking
With rhymes times five
I would like to thrive
At this limericks a-making
Anyone have a better ending?
January 26, 2011 5:09 pm at 5:09 pm #1221425☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMazel Tov on the wedding,
remember to bring with you bedding.
Give someone the map,
while you take a nap,
when to Baltimore you are heading.
January 26, 2011 5:12 pm at 5:12 pm #1221426yossi z.MemberWhenever I start to try
I will never go cry
If I fail twice
Or be it thrice
Never is it bye, bye
(??? ???? ???? ????)
January 26, 2011 5:13 pm at 5:13 pm #1221427chayav inish livisumayParticipantlimericks are hard why are we here
i opened this thread while batting a tear
i really like the poetry thread
“so ill go back” is what i said
but the poetry thread was abondoned as i fear(ed)
January 26, 2011 5:18 pm at 5:18 pm #1221428Shticky GuyParticipantThus far from what I have found,
the best one at rhyming a sound,
is called Daas Yochid,
its a takeover bid,
I think HE’S the best poet around!
DY your lim to yossi is absolutely amazing! Keep it up!
January 26, 2011 5:27 pm at 5:27 pm #1221429☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYossi,
Anyone have a better ending?
thus keeping my brain from shrinking?
SG,
Thanks
January 26, 2011 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm #1221430☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYossi, you gave it a crack;
now you are getting the knack.
so I am inviting
you to keep on writing,
because you are on the right track.
January 26, 2011 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm #1221431chayav inish livisumayParticipantdaas yochid you really have a skill
you can rhyme for parnassah and bill
believe me you would make a lot of cash
youd have a whole big stash
but im not so good so ill pop a pill
January 26, 2011 5:42 pm at 5:42 pm #1221432smartcookieMemberDaas Yochid, you’re really entertaining
With this limerick gaming
I thought I was a poet
But you’re not even letting show it
You put my “poetic talent” to shaming.
January 26, 2011 5:53 pm at 5:53 pm #1221433☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYossi,
It seems I can not stop thinking
Even while eating or drinking
With rhymes times five
I would like to thrive
At this limericks a-making
Anyone have a better ending?
A tip; sometime with a good rhyme it’s hard to find a good third match – so try switching it to the 3rd and 4th lines. For example:
I found something at which I thrive
to write a good limerick I strive.
I’m constantly thinking,
while eating and drinking,
how to do rhyming times five.
January 26, 2011 5:59 pm at 5:59 pm #1221434blinkyParticipantIt’s snowing again in New York City,
Drivers and walkers I do pity,
The wind is blowing,
The inches are growing,
Making the world quite pretty!
“I think HE’S the best poet around”- sniff sniff
January 26, 2011 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #1221435☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantShticky Guy, chayav inish livisumay, smartcookie,
You’re making it hard to stay humble,
although my words I often fumble.
And I’m even worse
when not talking in verse,
I then badly stammer and stumble!
January 26, 2011 6:05 pm at 6:05 pm #1221436☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBlinky, please don’t feel bad,
there’s no reason you should be sad.
You started this thread,
and you’re still way ahead.
Of that you should really be glad!
January 26, 2011 6:16 pm at 6:16 pm #1221437yossi z.MemberYay! I got approval from daas
😀
At first I didn’t frickasee*
But now that I do see
How to rhyme
And do it in time
I will now say wheeee!!!!
Lol 😀
*if at first you don’t fricasee fry, fry a hen
Daas: the whole point was that it was my fifth limerick (though each “stanza” is five lines …)
This is fun! I am so glad I got “roped” into this!
January 26, 2011 6:36 pm at 6:36 pm #1221438yossi z.MemberDaas yochid may I correct
At driving I’d be a wreck
But for now I buss
So please don’t fuss
I’ll see you when I get back
A driver’s license I have
But it would be quite bad
For on no sleep
The streets I’d sweep
With any car I had
Wheeee!!!! (Again) this is awesome!!! (And extremely fun and entertaining)
January 26, 2011 6:44 pm at 6:44 pm #1221439blinkyParticipantYossi Z. you learn quite quick
How to make up a limerick
It took me ages
To compose my first pages
Now they’re so many its really sick!
January 26, 2011 6:47 pm at 6:47 pm #1221440yossi z.MemberAt 365 posts we are
Can’t believe we have come this far
But we must not stay
So come out and play
And raise the limerick bar
January 26, 2011 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm #1221441blinkyParticipantYossiZ. you are quite mistaken

By a poster blinky

Swinging from a tree(?)
A yoda’s rhyme
From star wars time

January 26, 2011 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1221444☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYou are right daas yochid

January 26, 2011 8:33 pm at 8:33 pm #1221445yossi z.MemberHere is an oldy
Adjusted to not be moldy
About a guy
Who went to lie
In bed as an old fogey
It’s raining, it’s pouring
The old man is snoring
He bumped his head
Went back to bed
And didn’t get up ’till morning
January 26, 2011 10:55 pm at 10:55 pm #1221446smartcookieMemberWe have salad for supper on this Wednesday afternoon
& eggplant parmigiana which I’ll prepare soon
You can all come and taste
& get some fat on your waist
Just bring a fork & spoon!
January 27, 2011 2:21 am at 2:21 am #1221448☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantToday for lunch I had spaghetti
it took half an hour to get ready.
I sometimes eat fish,
as my main dish,
but pasta is more of a steady.
January 27, 2011 3:49 am at 3:49 am #1221449eclipseMemberI sit here with plenty to do
Paid work and paying bills too
So why am I checkin’
The CR every second?
Does this ever happen to you?
January 27, 2011 4:01 am at 4:01 am #1221450☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWe now have reached page number six,
on the thread which contains limericks.
Come one and come all,
’cause we’re having a ball!
Join us for your daily fix!
January 27, 2011 4:59 am at 4:59 am #1221451yossi z.MemberHere I am quite bored
Another limerick thought I’d score
So here it is
Oh my gee whiz
Now let’s hear some more
Back to brooklyn I must bus
Though I don’t get the fuss
There may be snow
So just go slow
And your patience please don’t bust
January 27, 2011 5:48 am at 5:48 am #1221452yossi z.MemberOff to brooklyn I go
Homeward bound, hey ho
Then off to bed
And maybe my head
Will start it’s spinning no mo(re)
January 27, 2011 7:28 am at 7:28 am #1221453yossi z.MemberLooks like we have another blunderg
With brooklyn torn asunder
Cars stuck on J
As if they were hay
Now let’s go have some fun-dur

And are not sure which website to choose,
There’s one most terrific,
I’ll be more specific,
Log onto Yeshiva World News.
The above mentioned site it contains,
Threads of fashion, humor and campaigns,
I’ll discuss it at length,
If to read you have strength,
And you wish to make use of your brains.
There is one particular thread,
Where some are just too scared to tread,
Its for only the gifted,
Who feel uplifted,
By showing that they’re miles ahead.
It must be the limerick competition,
Where those who have skill and ambition,
Can prove their great strength,
By discussing at length,
Any topic of their own volition.
So click on it now and peruse,
To read our opinions and news,
And once you’ve meandered,
And seen our standard,
You can then try to send us your views.
From the opening poster called blinky,
To regulars eclipse, oomis and smartcookie,
most posters inspire,
And you can admire,
Latecomers DY and Yossi Z.
Lets see who’s gonna be next,
At getting us smiling or vexed,
So if you are smart,
Please come & take part,
Reply now and post in your text.
January 27, 2011 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm #1221455☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI’m sorry that I came so late,
and for me you did have to wait.
Your list did not finish,
i.e. chayav inish;
of others left out there’s a spate.
January 27, 2011 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #1221456blinkyParticipantOh the frigid winter days,
At the snow i do gaze,
My breath does froth,
As i dream of warm broth,
In bed i just want to laze!
January 27, 2011 7:24 pm at 7:24 pm #1221457☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantShticky Guy,
To mention some others we shall,
we don’t want to leave out a pal.
You did mention Oomis,
with poems too good to miss,
but what happened to Minyan Gal?
We should not omit Flatbush Dude,
doing so would be quite rude.
And old Mr. 80,
who could be my zaidy,
has given us some thoughtful food.
I have to leave now really quick,
so please help me out, Guy of Shtick,
name some more rhymers,
especially old timers,
and help finish this limerick.
January 27, 2011 7:31 pm at 7:31 pm #1221458blinkyParticipantI’ve noticed something quite strange,
The limerickers names did change,
Abbreviated form,
Seems to be the norm,
So for my name can you also arrange?
Smatcookie became SC,
Yossi is shortened to YZ,
Daas Yochid- DY,
SG for Shticky Guy,
But what can you do with Blinky?
January 27, 2011 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #1221459yossi z.MemberI really don’t see why
Blinky should have to cry
So I was thinking
Why aren’t we making
Her/his name B dash Y
January 27, 2011 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm #1221460☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe answer, B-Y, to your quest,
which you only made in jest:
in our names, words two,
but just one for you.
You thus differ from the rest.
January 27, 2011 10:32 pm at 10:32 pm #1221461smartcookieMemberBlinky, why do you say I became SC
Oh my! that cannot be
They won’t know I’m smartest
And that I love cookies to the heartest
Smartcookie is what I still see.
January 27, 2011 10:55 pm at 10:55 pm #1221462Shticky GuyParticipantOn abbreviated screen names for Blinky,
You said you cant have but lets see,
By your name does appear,
The sub Blinquie so its clear,
That from now you’ll be known as BB!
I was sure when I started my list,
There would be obvious names that I missed,
So I apologise,
To those talented guys,
It was an oversight I insist!
So sorry to you chayav inish,
I re-read my post with astonish,
I did add you 1st time,
Then reworded my rhyme,
I must buy you a bottle of Glenfiddich.
I did not include minyan gal,
I wait for her without mazal,
She has talent real decent,
But nothing of recent,
Which is a tremendous chaval.
Regarding my dear Mod 80,
He said he finds this thread too weighty,
So him I did not write,
Not at all out of spite,
It is nothing personal, matey.
Regarding leaving out flatbush dude,
I’m sorry that I was so rude,
You have also been quiet,
A limerick diet?,
What’s up? Are you not in the mood?
To anyone else that I missed,
Its not fair that you I dismissed,
You are all just great,
And have added real weight,
To this thread so keep on and persist.
January 27, 2011 11:08 pm at 11:08 pm #1221463☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant(then BP Totty)
and also the Persian Queen.
which reminds me of,
I cannot leave off of my list,
the Modern Chareidi Zionist
The best name, I think,
and “H Newman” really got the gist.
To be continued…
January 28, 2011 12:11 am at 12:11 am #1221464yossi z.MemberHooray for daas yochid
Trying to help every yid
Who posted here
To be fair
Now everyone can have a bid
January 28, 2011 2:13 am at 2:13 am #1221465yossi z.MemberIt used to be such a bore
To clean the kitchen floor
But now that I’m here
It is with such cheer
I ask how can I help more
January 28, 2011 5:50 am at 5:50 am #1221466☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAs I go on with this ode,
We’re proud that this thread,
has no loshon hora said,
mutual respect always showed.
his limerick to read we were craving;
but it was aborted,
and now we feel shorted,
to avoid a lie,
“Ken Zayn” that I am a naysayer,
a nice rhyme he did,
This poem has taken a week,
I think that enough I did speak.
I can take my pension,
once I do mention,
Now I must this poem conclude;
I hope I was not misconstrued.
If I left you out,
please give me a shout,
and next time I’ll try to include.
January 28, 2011 5:51 am at 5:51 am #1221467yossi z.MemberWhat to do, what to do, what to do
On nothing I have what to chew
I could go to bed
But I think instead
I will stay here with you
January 28, 2011 6:14 am at 6:14 am #1221468☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGood night to you, my dear Yoss,
go to sleep without making a fuss.
Although you’re inspired,
you must be real tired,
from yesterday’s trip on the bus!
I hope that the chasunah was nice,
and nobody slipped on the ice.
Outside all is frosted,
and I am exhausted,
so for tonight, this will suffice.
January 28, 2011 6:48 am at 6:48 am #1221469yossi z.MemberDaas yochid I must inquire
Do you think I did not retire?
I slept all day
And did not play
And now I am quite wired
The chasuna was quite nice
Thankfully there was no ice
Though cars got stuck
Also a truck
But the bus not for a trice
I drank nothing with caffeine
From that I think I’m weaned
Most of the time
(I will not whine)
Too distracted even to read
I know I went one over
But please be a good “chover”
I couldn’t find
A better rhyme
To bring my point right over
January 28, 2011 6:51 am at 6:51 am #1221470yossi z.MemberDaas I just realized
Why you made your rhyme
From the time
I made mine
It became second to one
January 28, 2011 7:36 am at 7:36 am #1221471yossi z.MemberOops that is a bit embarrassing. I would like to replace that last one with:
Daas I now realize
Why you made your rhyme
‘Tis plain to see
That before me
There was yours in time
January 28, 2011 7:53 am at 7:53 am #1221472yossi z.MemberOh my! Look at the time!
The fault now would be mine
Go now with speed
For I need
To wake up before nine
Limericks wane and wax
Don’t worry I’ll be back
After shul
And then school
At more I’ll give a crack
January 28, 2011 7:54 am at 7:54 am #1221473Shticky GuyParticipantI’m jumping and shouting hurray
At this most fantastic display
From the lim at the top
The new posts didnt stop
We have filled a whole page in 1 day!!!
If you look at the previous pages
Filling them all up took ages
Only once in a while
A new lim you would file
But right now the flow simply rages
Let us all keep up the pace
Of this mega limerick race
We could even say
Lets do a ‘daf’ each day
In this the thread most ace
===
Daas and yossi: amazing stuff esp the names one!
Ladies: WHERE ARE YOU ALL?
January 28, 2011 8:01 am at 8:01 am #1221474yossi z.MemberHere I have one more
To add to my six score
We have abunded
Reached 400
Please let’s see some more
(Okay, okay I’ll go to sleep now! Lol)
