As 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.
(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…
The 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.
Shticky 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.
I’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.

We 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!
Oh, I have no idea.
Today 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.
Here is a subtle example of a hurtful username twist. So subtle there’s a chance it could have been accidental, but since the post already had to be edited for some reason…
Avram in MD:
Oh i didnt even realize. i read the OP’s name quickly and thought it said halfagirl, the “L” looked like an “i”. (a lower case “L” and upper case “i” look the same.
Whoops!
I guess we should have been dan l’caf z’chus. YummyYummy, please be moichel.
Why do some threads end up online and some not?
I’m not sure what you mean…
*kapusta*,
And sometimes a mod will edit a post (a note to the poster or something) instead of a new post, any way to put some sort of notification if that happens? Maybe the “last poster” could change colors or something…
They put in in bold.
Because this is a coffee room, not a bar. 🙂
Ken,
He was sad, but he didn’t get mad at his dad.
Howie is fine,
he’s just on vacation.
I won’t be in touch
for the duration.
Fret not ’bout his health;
he won’t come to harm.
He’s spending his time off
on a fat farm!
You are right daas yochid
Starting this thread i did
Sad i should be not
As I have done a lot
Yikes! i need help here!
entertaining many a Yid!
Blinky, 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!
Shticky 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!
Yossi,
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.
Yossi, 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.
Yossi,
Anyone have a better ending?
thus keeping my brain from shrinking?
SG,
Thanks
Mazel 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.
Yossi, it was a nice try,
but your poems just did not fly.
Not bad the timing,
but awful the rhyming,
So I will let you know the rules,
(I went to four limerick schools).
These rules you must follow,
so here are some important tools.
it must fit into certain specs,
Lines 1,2, with 5
and 3 with 4 jive,
and there is not much room to flex.
The first and the second line,
may not have more sounds than 9.
Lines 3 and 4
cannot have more
than five, for the limerick to shine.
With one more rule I will proceed,
the final line may not exceed,
syllables seven,
for limerick heaven,
and now you know how to succeed!
Your effort, I really commend;
my words, I hope, do not offend.
Because I only have one screen name. 🙂
Ken Zayn,
Naaah…
as you can tell from my posts although im a bubby i post in text lingo. i think it would really help if there was a spell check option. i dont know how or if we would be able to do that but when i use microsoft word i get the green and red lines under sentences when they are grammatically incorrreect. Mods please see if this is possible
You could use a browser which has spell check, such as Firefox (I hear Google Chrome does also) or you could type your post in Word and copy it into the reply box.
Tizku L’mitzvos, and Mazel Tov!
The title of this thread, as well as some of the content, begs the question: Would any of us eat in a restaurant that is “fairly kosher”? As in, most courses are “glatt”, except for one side dish which has pig in it?
*kapusta*,
If you change your mind and decide not to post something while the EDIT option is still there, you can resubmit it blank.
Or, just post asking us to take it down.
Avram,
The one that you commented on in another thread was over the line. I pointed that out over there as well.
Thank you. (That’s English for thank you.)
I had an Aunt Tilde.
BTW, how did you get the < em > not to italicize?
Mr. 80:
like this ronsr < em >text</ em >

Spell Checkers – a little Poem.
A Little Poem Regarding Computer Spell Checkers…
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
Now that was mean-spirited. Moderator, can you please delete that? Oh… you’re the moderator. 🙂
So you’re saying that they should doctor the post?
All kidding aside, I agree, but in context; sometimes it’s clearly meant in a lighthearted way. For example, others have agreed to something I’ve posted, and pointed out that I’m not a “Daas Yochid”.
Halfagirl:
People can write, text, or blog… however they want.
It might not be the end of the world to misspell something, but to call Haifagirl “Halfagirl”? That’s a bit much.
Nor does it have a ??????.
That reminds me of the story with the Rov and the apikores* (an old friend from childhood). The apikores challenged the use of “trop”** in laining***. The Rov asked the apikores to borrow 100 ruble. The apikores obliged. The following week, when the apikores asked for his money, the Rov responded, “I owe you a hundred rubles?”. The apikores reminded the Rov of the previous week’s encounter, to which the Rov responded, again, “I owe you a hundred rubles?”. Now the apikores got really angry, until the Rov explained that he said “I owe you a hundred rubles.”, just with different trop!

Commas as well; consider the difference between the folowing:

2) We hate to see you, go.

it’s spelled Gadol 🙂
Are you Sefardi? 🙂
so (one) [no] one feels like their being singled out for punishment.
Now that takes talent!
Yankel Maza said he doesnt know you and nor does any of his chevra.
That’s because they owe me money.

It is, indeed, essential,
that we should all be together,
regardless of what kind of kippah,
knitted, velvet, or leather.
With one point I must take exception,
this point is “l’chol hadeyos”.
Although they may not need to curl,
a man may not cut off his peyos.
(I know you didn’t mean it that way.)
Why does this bother you so much
You left out the question mark (?).
Popa, you shouldn’t text while drive, not only because of the statue
i dont understand. is there a certain statue near where popa lives that is particularly prone to being run into by a distracted driver?
80,
Wrong thread.
Yes you went with Jackie Mason didnt you.
You obviously do know me if you know that I’m buddies with Yankel Maza.
Who wasn’t sleeping?
The cop.
And he probably woke you up also.
