Limerick Off

Via Mad Kane

"I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick using either “CLIPS” or “ECLIPSE” at the end of Line 1 or Line 2 or Line 5. (Homonyms or homophones are fine.)"

Because I take a challenge like this so very seriously  .  .  .

loony barber will only do clips
on the days of the solar eclipse
he likes to get paid in the moon’s umbral shade
by aliens in lunar space ships

"Wine Rack" Limerick

I was unaware of this amazing invention.

If you click the link, also click the "larger picture" button when you get there, so you can see in a series of 4 photos exactly how it works.

Of course, Mad Cane doesn't let things like this slip by unnoticed.




My thought:

I have to agree it's the best
Device to enhance someone's chest
Made just for sipping
(also known as nipping)
If you've liquid assets to invest

Mad Kane's Limerick Off

Last Limerick Off Monday of 2012

Casanova was making a list
Of lovely young maidens he'd missed
Buxom blondes, lithe brunettes
Dancing with castanets,
But chose a redhead for his tryst.

UPDATE: It's a few minutes before midnight on 1/04, and I just discovered the REDHEAD prompt at Velvet Verbosity, via a multi-prompt story at The Muse Unleashed.  Since the link at VV is still open, I might as well join the fray there as well.

BLUE LIMERICK

A blue-eyed woman wore blue
Persistently: thus en la nu
She was ever so bold
To go bare in the cold
When her bosom and butt turned blue too

GO BLUE LIMERICK

A woman who always wore blue
Was a Wolverines fan - sad, but true
She dated a fellow
Who always wore yellow.
And when the Buckeyes won they cried, boo-hoo.

~  ~  ~  ~  ~

Reduced to a haiku

 You can take a thing
Too far and then play a sad
Rhapsodie in Blue

Mad Kane's Limerick Off Of 10/14

Refined Limerick

A gal who was very refined
Met a man with a sweet tooth who pined
For a sugary treat
As the best thing to eat
And asked if she was so inclined.

Raise Kane here.

Mad Kane's Limerick Off of 9/16

Trying Your Hand (at Limericks)

A card-sharp was trying his hand
At bridge playing - thought it was grand.
Till he got in a jam 
And was set in his slam.
The finesse didn't work out as planned.

Mad Kane's Limerick Off (Week 69)

My entry:

Ol’ Billy was proud of his skill
At refining the mash in his still;
He smiled ‘cuz his whiskey
Made lady-folk frisky,
‘Till he met a transvestite named Will.

It's all here.

Insomnia

My reply to Mad Kane's INSOMNIA limerick.

Your limerick rings a sad bell;
I know this affliction too well.
The too-ing and fro-ing,
Despair darkly growing
Through the night of insomniac hell.

Mad Kane's Limerick Off

My entry.

A woman was putting on airs
In lieu of her clothing. “Who cares?”
She said, “without frocks,
I’ll display all my locks.
Don’t like it? Then never watch bares!”

But wait - there's more!
