antelope110,
Thanks for the compliment, but the credit is due Blinky. In other words:
Thank you for your words so nice,
and for adding to this thread some spice.
But Blinky is earning
the credit for turning
a limerick into a Jewish device.
I’m glad that you remembered
to mention our friend Howard.
I thought you were afraid to,
but I guess you’re not a coward.
Shticky,
Now everyone will definitely think we’re the same Guy!

So now your name is spaced out?
yw
I do text while driving.
Despite that it is per se negligent. I actually stopped briefly when I realized that, but then remembered that I also speed.
I don’t think popa_bar_abba was concentrating when he posted this. He was probably posting from his mobile device. While driving.
TheGoq,
I thought spaced out was a compliment; it means you are not over-posting or concentrating too heavily on one thread. Your comments are spaced out nicely throughout the various threads in the coffee room.
I’m sorry if I told the truth,
it’s something I’ve done since my youth.
But please don’t be haughty,
’cause that’s very naughty,
and some would say that it’s uncouth.
If ga’ava’s not your favorite flavor,
I was just returning the favor;
You spoke well of me,
undeservedly,
and kovod I also do savor.
Chayav, I thought
you had heeded the call,
to stop all your talking
about alcohol.
It now seems to me, though,
that I was mistaken,
and that you’re a shikur,
you will still be fakin’.
Yes, and they wouldn’t have been on Yeshiva World either.
A shame of yiddisha gelt.
Not as much “yiddisha gelt” is wasted as you make it out to be. Most of the advertising is in “yiddisha” publications, and they use, for the most part (if not completely) “yiddisha” marketing firms.
Thus far from what I have found,
the best at rhyming a sound,
is someone who’s shticky,
and although I’m picky,
I think he’s the best poet around!
Guf Yiseira!Cute!
It is my limerick, but that’s not my line (I don’t remember where I heard it).
watermelon,
What makes you think chayav drinks?
I’m sure neither of us knows him, but I guess he’s probably kidding around.
chayav, I just saw your post,
you’re a better poet than most.
I’m talking to no one,
I’m just having some fun;
this thread is a limerick host.
My asthma causes my wheezing,
my cold has me coughing and sneezing.
I’ve so many ills,
I’ll pop a few pills,
don’t worry, I am just teasing.
Shabbos, the holiest of days,
a good Yid learns, and he prays.
To feed the “neshomo y’seiro”
is not an aveiro,
but the “guf y’seiro”, it stays.
I now must spend my hard earned gelt,
because I am no longer svelte.
I’ll go in my Chevy,
cause now I’m so heavy,
that I need a new “cholent belt”.
On Shabbos, the cholent we eat,
is a very special treat.
But my tummy’s now pained,
oh the calories I gained,
from barley, potatoes and meat.
Why did nobody (that I noticed) mention Booker’s ? Too strong for you folks?
Limericks are not all that dumb,
that is my rule of thumb.
Poems are fun,
for me, # 1,
But go there, you’ll see I have some.
In the CR there’s screamin’ and yellin’;
Who’s who? Nobody’s tellin’.
We know Shticky Guy,
is not Bed-Stuy,
and that Joseph is practically a felon!
Chayav, your issue is weighty.
Are you a man or a lady?
So go see a shrink,
or at least have a drink,
so that you won’t be so far-dreit-y!
There once once a chossid from Willy,
who went to go learn in Philly.
but let’s not confuse
the two types of Jews
a chassidishe litvak is silly!
My car is still by the mechanic,
and now I am in a real panic.
Oh what should I do,
my kids have the flu,
but I can’t get to Dr. Shanek!
Limericks are hard on the head,
that’s why there’s a poetry thread.
It’s hard to rhyme twice,
impossible thrice!
That’s why I’ll stay there instead.
The communities (theological) that do not have engaged couples see each other, generally have them meet only once or twice before they get engaged. There is not much of a relationship to maintain, so they wait until they are married. Usually, they are younger than in other circles, and their hands are also held by their parent for a while after the wedding, making the transition easier. Those communities have a different style of upbringing to begin with. It’s a completely different system than the one many are used to; to apply some of the features of that shidduch process in a vacuum would likely lead to disaster, but it seems to work for them.
I’m sorry, watermelon,
if you feel ignored,
your purple poem was cute;
it should win an award.
Your Shabbos rhyme was moving,
about a day with no tension;
if not first prize,
it gets honorable mention.
I liked your poem, Chayav
but there’s just one thing,
how can a bubby
call himself a king?
We in the CR
think you should come clean,
and admit your not a grandma
unless you’re a queen!
bpt,
Are your neighbors Billy and Joel? 🙂
I’m still new at this rhyming,
I’m only a rookie,
but I thank you for your kind words,
poster smartcookie.
Our obsession with coffee,
from our rest should not rob us,
so I now will log off,
and wish all a “Good Shabbos”!
I love those old Suki & Ding All Star records.
Here’s another from that series (big hint!):

Is Yochie Joseph?
Howie’s now in
Over-eaters Anonymous
so that for his health
he can be more autonomous
He won’t need his shrink;
he won’t need his mother.
He won’t need to rely
on any other.
So when he goes shopping,
he won’t buy any donuts.
He’ll shop at the fruit store,
he won’t go to Oh! Nuts!
The one you refer to
is certainly not I,
but in my own right,
I’m a “shticky guy”
Thanks!
I though for my rhymes,
you would me thank.
Instead you imply
that my choice of words stank! 🙂
Very little
Chayav, your poem –
it really stunk,
but what should we expect
from someone who’s drunk?
I hope you’re not insulted,
wherever you’re sitting;
I hope that you realize
that I was just kidding. 🙂
Please back me up,
Moderator 80,
that I would never be unkind
to an elderly lady!
I’m sorry to report
that I just saw Howie,
and what he was doing
made me say “wowwee”.
He had a dozen donuts
all of them he was eating.
Just one day on his diet
and he’s already cheating!
See you later,
Moderator
I googled for you
the definition of spate
you “poonkt” got it backwards,
but it’s not too late.
Even us posters,
have some time to revise;
Kol shekein a moderator
(Popa Bar Abba in disguise).
and coffee to drink
said Howie to his shrink
I need you replaced.
what you said is not true,
and by the way from now on,
It may come from there, but it’s not a part of it, no more than a newly lit flame is a part of the old flame.
We do find such a concept regarding the havdalah candle used after Yom Kippur; a candle lit from the “ner sheshovas” suffices (at least b’dieved. I’m not sure if it’s a perfect analogy; just a thought.

He did go for therapy,
but not the speech kind;
he went to a shrink,
’cause he’s out of his mind.
I thank you, MII,
for the nice compliments;
Just for the record,
I enjoyed your two cents.
