Calling all Limerickticians

riredale wrote on 9/30/2004, 10:42 AM

You know, someone who writes Limericks, or who gets a strange satisfaction from reading one. There's a nearby thread that has some zingers. Even I succumbed to the siren song late last night.

Maybe we should adopt a rule on this Board that on April 1st of each year one can only post a new thread in limerick form.

There was a young man from San Romeo,
Whose curse in life was bad video.
So, it came to be that his host,
Advised him to fix it in post,
Or stay away, stay at homeo.

Said Quince, "I do hate to quibble,

Hmmm, maybe this one should have been in the DVD-A forum.

There is a young man named Spot
Who always helps us a lot
But one day he became
Caught up with his mane
And promptly fell on his bot

Apologies to Spot. I quite like his hairdo. Wish this baldie had it.

There once was a fellow named Zippy
Who was banished for being so lippy.
Edward may stay
and Grazie and Jay
The lesson? Be civil, not snippy.

To make Vegas rhyme is a problem
When scanning a line for a Limerick
I just think it should be
For people like you - not I
But then rhyming was never my talent

Good morning, Rhymie-Limey

Consider with care your positions

One thing about folks on this forum
Is the danger that Limericks'll bore 'em
So I thought I'd just say
To all readers, G'day
And if you don't like 'em ignore 'em.

Since joining I've learnt from this forum
to edit with style and decorum
with both pictures and sound
I now have no bounds
but I'm still crap with last lines of limericks

There once was a guy who used Vegas
To turn videos to profit that made us,
a Bundle of bucks, but who gives a f---
When you're hot with the timeline there's no fuss...

(ok that's lame but hey I'm tired)

And then there was poor Gary Kleiner
Always wanted to go down the miner
His Daddy said "No, off to Vegas you go"
"As a grown man, you'll sure end up finer".

There once was a fine Vegas forum
Whose members showed much decorum
They'd rather spend time
Cutting a timeline
Than slicing and dicing each other
......

Clive Smith was a man of perfection
He spent months on colour correction
RGB, said Clive
Should not be alive
So he asked the police for protection

There once was a Dell named Inspiron,
whose fans would wreck heck with IRQ-ons
Then Grazie said, "Hey!"
"Download fangui I say."
Now the memory brings a big tear on.

I started a thread which nobody read

dblevine wrote on 10/2/2004, 3:31 PM

Sadly, there's no dispute
My editing skills are minute.
“But look,” I said,
“Here's finally a thread
To which I may freely contribute!”

The fine Vegas folks got upset,
Cuz their timelines never got met,
So they cried "Stop the Forums"
Back to Work! with much decorum
And that was the end of the set.

(another even lamer one)
