I enjoy rounds with young master Cable His throw is as smooth as a table Makes his putt from afar Parks his drive like a car Now he's bucking for Tag 1's 'King' label!

Wed. May 12th is Limerick Day in honor of the birthday of Edward Lear. His 'A Book of Nonsense' is Fun to read to your kids (& yourself). Now is the time for all you slackers to put your think creatively caps on & write. If you get stuck, perhaps just do what the Irish do: have a wee dram of Jameson, Baileys, Guinness, Murphys or Harp to loosen up the cogs. Start cogitating now..... I am looking forward to some amusing/clever postings by new authors here this week. Get busy!

There once was a girl named McBride who ate 20 green apples, and died. The apples fermented within the lamented, and made cider inside her insides.
There once was a girl from LaMor whose mouth was as big as a door. While attempting a grin she slipped and fell in, and lay inside-out on the floor.
A tutor who tooted the flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, "Is it easier to toot, or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

Although I feel strangely coerced To create limericks unrehearsed Some pressure is good Even when applied by Wood Regardless if I write the worst.

Disc golf sure is a lot of fun Especially when playing out in the Sun So let go of your strife Add some spin to your life And one day you might get a shot in one!
If you've never thrown a round piece of plastic Then try disc golf, I think it's fantastic You can play for free Even with an old Frisbee Although it may be harder to hit the basket!

If two is your favorite time but you don't want a sickness called Lime just spray for the tick that should do the trick.
This limerick needs one more rhyme.

Say you found some ticks in Liberty bushes, And they gnawed on your tender little tushes, Try this plan if you can, Throw in the fairway, my man. Your whining makes you sound like wusses.

With the ticks at Liberty, I'm OK but the course has fallen to decay You can park it under the basket and still to find it you'll need a hatchet It turns a fun round into a work day

Some of these limericks play fast and loose with the conventional rhythm and rhyme. As club editer it behooves me to clarify the proper format for a limerick. Please use the following as a template:
There once was an X from place B Who satisfied predicate P. The X did thing A In a specified way, Resulting in circumstance C.
Also, a limerick, by definition, is bawdy.
A limerick packs jokes anatomical Into space that is quite economical. But good ones, it seems, So seldom are clean, And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
However, since this is a family forum, we will forego this characteristic. In fact, let's keep it clean, boys and girls. As in many artistic endeavors, once you know the rules it is OK to break them for effect. The following limerick breaks the five-line pattern in order to make a self-referential joke.
There once was a man from Peru whose limerick stopped at line two.
The above limerick is related to the one below:
There was an old maid from Verdun.
And of course, there's a limerick about Nero that I can't even start.
I hope this explanation of the proper construction of limericks is helpful. I leave you with this quote from E.B. White:
“Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.”
