Limerick (noun)
a five-line humorous poem with regular metre and rhyme patterns, often dealing with a risqué subject and typically opening with a line such as ‘There was a young lady called Jenny’.
What started as comment, has been suggested as a blog. Following in the great blogmark tradition of imagining fellow bloggers to life in various ways, I offer, just as a starter, the humble limerick-.
It all began with-
There once was a blogger called Dex
Who liked to posture and flex
his words for the girls
all giggles and curls
like a literary Tyrannosaurus Rex
Some new offerings…
Have you heard of Blue_Peter?
Who drinks his red wine by the litre
When he’s deep in the drink
He pretends he’s a shrink
And counsels the loon and wife beater
Awoven amongst our fine blogs
Are the two M de Waal called the Trogs
Full of whinging and mutter
(And a wife who’s a nutter)
The two are a couple of dogs
There was a young dude called Mica
Who apparently was quite the hiker
He trundled up hills
(no doubt goofed out on pills)
Dressed up in big boots, like a biker
And some other ones from the first comment-
I know an old poet called Jack
Who has a spectacular knack:
A quite bendy agility
of fellating ability
For which he’s taken some flack
Housewives and dreamers, achtung
For Andreas, who quotes Kafka and Jung
He’s out for a fight
With the left or the right
A blogmark Moa Zedong
*winks*
And some additions-..
From Dex
There once was a girl named Gabbana
Her words drifted down just like manna
yeah the kid makes us smile
-give ger ten points for style-
But she can’t keep a man
Or a fella.
*ouch*
From Mica
A young, pretty blogger named Pi
Took a dirty weekend with her guy
They were found stoned and pissed
Wearing slippers in the mist
Throwing boerewors chunks at the sky


You forgot me!
There once was a blogger called Dolce
She was a bit of a falsy
Man, she was funny
And, oh, quite a honey
Pity about the sagging tits, though!
No, just kidding
My favourite:
There once was a man from Belgrave
Who kept his wife in a cave
you must admit
‘e was a bit of a shit
But think of the money he saved!
Ramona, what is the fuss
You’re obsessed with ze van and a bus
Now go get a life
Or shag Marco’s wife
I’m done, man, this is a lus
Are you happy now….*grin*
Brilliant! Thanx, you’ve made my day.
*Ramon packs up his laptop,
He goes outside.
It starts to rain, but the green bus doesn’t stop…*
Now, you see, Dolce the blogger
You are quite the bugger
You do write the line
Especially with wine
But leave it for the Trogger!
The chicks in CT or loose
because they smoke doob
their brain is in a state
because that’s were they at.
I told you to leave it for the pro’s!
Chuck my Pi one in, otherwise she might not see it when she gets back from Springs.
… um, you know what I mean! Ok, here’s a sweet one for you:
There once was a blogger so sweet
she’d charm all the strangers she’d meet.
The boys all started to rhyme
had a fucking great time.
“Cool game,” said the crusty blue_pete.
A drunkard and poet is new Dolce
whose bar-room exploits are quite legendary.
She once snogged a goat
right down to his throat.
I mean, gross, where’s her femininity?
And then one for Zeph:
A journo by trade is our Zee
with some tats and a child who’s not 3.
She turned 30 this year
with some snot and a tear.
“Where’s my life gone?” Who cares, now you’re free!
I haven’t turned 30 yet. That only happens in August….
There once was a man from Belgrave
Who kept a dead whore in a cave
‘Ok, I admit
I’m a bit of a shit
But look at the money I save’.
Done!
sorry I called you an unfeminine drunkard there, was just trying to get you back for saying I was a pretend shrink with a drinking problem! Liked the way you called AJ the Mao Zedong of the blog – that was class. Here’s one I wrote about Hanabi, which seems very tame now given all the comments this morning:
Have you followed the talk around Hanabi
who’s our resident lesbian wannabe?
AJ called her a cunt,
which was incredibly blunt
and caused no end of controversy.
*cackle* – you scribble a good limerick! And the crack about being an rowdy alkie is not far off (actually) and definitely deserved…
… since I should rather be doing my research. But unfortunately doggerell is quite addictive:
A blind date with prissy young Jill
Is worse than the dentist’s big drill.
She’s as chaste as a nun,
not even wine makes her fun,
and I always land up with the bill.
Ok, enough, I promise
