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?

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:

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!

That’s because they owe me money.

With one point I must take exception,
this point is “l’chol hadeyos”.

(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.
Mr. 80,
Agreed.
I’m glad you clarified witch (sick)(sic) you were talking about.
1) One uses a “spelling” checker to check one’s spelling. One uses a “spell” checker to check one’s spells. Any witches in the CR?
Apparently, this website can’t spell its own name.
2) If we’re going to be so pedantic, let us avoid the word “typo” as well.
Health,
Good old question.

Popa Bar Abba,
Thanks for your post. Until you chimed in, it seemed that this would be one of the few times everyone agreed. Then you got everyone except real-brisker to believe that you condone texting while driving, and made this a little more controversial. Good job.

Yunger Mann,
Read this post in which Joseph admits that he uses names that are not identified by the moderators as his. He posts under multiple names (undetected by the moderators) in the same thread, which changes the tone of the whole discussion. I agree that nobody should take anything in an anonymous blog as anything other than food for thought, but the sad reality is that too many people are taking things too literally here. This behavior lacks integrity.

Bpt I don’t think its right to be the type that talks to your nerighbor!!! Why do you think its fine to talk to an opposite gender neighbor?? Just cuz she’s your neighbor its mutar?? Please explain
Mother in israel if your not the type to talk to your neigghbor kal vchomer you shouldn’t talk to people on the internet. I think you should rethink
Very cute, you’ve just said that no one should be in the coffee room.
I have finally run out of thread ideas.
Oh, really?
For the record, I’ve never met you and have no idea who you are.
That you know of.
Yes, it’s your imagination. Now get a life. 🙂
Why daven for it? Just don’t go out with anyone who’s not rich!

That’s something I didn’t know,
that Howie is chassidish,
I knew that he was Jewish;
but I thought that he was Swedish.
Reminds me of the Journeys song: (Abie Rotenberg)
But now they call him Chaim’l
and on Shabbos wears a shtreim’l
’cause their buried faith ignited

Why Texting While Driving Is Worse Than DWI
By : Jay Jacobson
Car and Driver performed research that considered a drivers distance and response time to come to a stop travelling at 70MPH. The study revealed that it took the drunk driver four feet further to come to a stop compared to the sober driver. The shocking part of the study came when they examined texting while driving. It took the one that was texting while driving 70 feet to stop in comparison to the sober driver.
Texting while driving removes 3 important things required for safe driving:
1) You Hands
2) Your Eyes and,
3) Your Concentration
A driver who’s texting makes use of his hands, eyes, and concentration to text. This places them as well as everyone else around them at risk and what makes texting while driving more dangerous than an intoxicated driver.
Let’s undertake this line of thought a step further. There’s 800,000 people at any given moment who are distracted by means of texting and driving. Dangerous driving conditions in our day are at a whole new level. With 800,000 texting you can be fairly certain that there may be someone close to you who is distracted by texting.
The statistics demonstrate that driver associated accidents and fatilities are up due to the lethal grouping of texting and driving. Join us in making an individual pledge in saying “NO” to texting while driving.
The oilum is not chaping the amkus of popas post.
Which oilum?
Texting is almost as bad as DWI.
Maybe it’s worse? Do we have any stats?
