It'll be a lot of fun,
Because you all suck.
There once was a man from Lulu,
Who everyone thought was cookoo,
He liked little boys,
He trapped 'em with toys,
Of course, I'm talking about vudu.
ICE BURN.

There once was a man from LaLulu,
Who everyone thought was quite cuckoo.
He liked little boys,
So he trapped 'em with toys,
And insisted they call him Sir Vudu.

he worked on the "Gamebox, Pretendo"
His names not important
but his works're of great portent
and he could kick your ass at kendo.
Yay for crappy limericks!!

She spoke to reporters wherein
She hyped old sparkling innovations
Dodged questions with limericks
None cared since she's hotter than Sharon. Stone.

You're one to talk, TMW.
That one was worse, and I mean it, too.
You need to be smarter
Since meter's much harder
Than rhyming, and that's never untrue.
A proper lim'rick should be jokey.
But most just turn out to be hokey.
They should end with a twist,
But that point's always missed
'Cause most of our brains are too pokey.

There once was a man from West Texas
Whose words stung his cohort like hexes.
No ownage intended,
Now let's be befriended.
Please don't kick me hard in the plexus.
Is it bad that I'm enjoying this thread so much? It probably is.

Something here's terribly wrong,
Your lines are too short or too long,
Try reading out loud,
In front of a crowd,
And hopefully then they'll be strong.

haha. No need to apologize, PB. I knew what I was getting into when I posted in this thread.
However, it will be much harder for a person from eastern New Mexico like myself to go so far and befriend a Texan. =P

Oh, I agree they're terrible, but the lines are the right length. There's a lot of leeway in limerick writing, but generally, the a lines should be three feet of three syllables, and the b lines should be two feet of three syllables. Usually, the stress is on the middle syllable of each foot, but it can be on the last, too. It's also acceptable to drop either the leading or ending weak syllable on a line, as you demonstrated.
It can be difficult to tell which syllables are meant to be stressed when reading a limerick, and that's probably the biggest reason my own don't sound off to me, but they do to you.
keep post on topic
write a haiku in it, too
even though it sucks.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November
The Time Travel theory and plot
I fail to see why Marty's travel through time
Should ever be forgot.
Marty McFly, by accident
To 1955 was sent
there to his mother met
and paradox create and fret!
By Doc's mercy he was saved
with a lightning bolt and wire catch
Holler boys, holler boys, with Biff did his father fight.
Holler boys, holler boys, he made it home alright.

See, there's your problem, it's actually 5 for lines a,b and e, and 3 for lines c and d.

Indeed, I must have been confusing 3 feet with line 5, etc.

Also, I think this haiku is brilliant. I was on fire that day.
