Limericks, poetry, etc...
« on: April 06, 2006, 06:04:39 pm »
Here's what entertained me the other day.  Any English Lit teachers out there need not grade this!  I never said this would be GOOD limericks, poetry, etc.  Add your own, if you so desire.

Limericks


There once was a lady named Sue,
Who didn't know what she should do,
There was a nasty rumor,
That she had a brain tumor,
And then she found out it was true!

Gamma Knife was all that she had,
To fight that brain tumor. It's bad!
So set it to stun,
Let's get this done,
It's personal now and I'm mad!

There was an old lady so blue,
Because in her head something grew,
But she had her resources,
So she gathered her horses,
And off to Providence they flew.
(Doesn't everybody have flying horses??)

Haiku

The docs say it is,
An accoustic neuroma,
I say crapola.

Thank you!  Thought it might be another way for people to express themselves.

In the brain of this wenchy named Phyll
Lived a tumor the size of a pill
With a click and a snap,
They gave it a ZAP!
And now the lil f#%@*&'s quite ill!



Captain Deb and her motley wench crew
Whipped up this strange noxious brew
Its unpleasant aroma
Cures Acoustic Neuroma
But drinkin' it will make ya SPEW!



Howzat!

Very good! Loved them. ;D  I knew somebody would come up with better ones than I. The only problem with this is that Limericks, kind of like a bad song, start rolling around up there and that's all you think about for a while. That cadence gets stuck!! 

You can move this tread anywhere you want, since I don't know how to do that!!

You all have a great weekend!!

heck, if I had surgery instead of being zapped, she'd have me in stitches! ;)

There once was a woman from Ba'asten
With a thingy in her head that needed a tossin
She hemmed and she hawwed
For a laser beam she saw'd
and now that dang thing ain't got life to have a causin' :)

(oy, send more coffee... I flunked that one.. but "E" for effort!) :D

(Think Theme from the Jeffersons, sort of.)

Movin' on up, to the rooftop,
Cleanin' the gutters as I go,
Movin on up, to the tree tops,
Before that, the lawn needs a mow.

Movin on up, to the mountains,
Better get some berries for that pie,
Movin on up, moving on up, moving on up,
Cause Sue's on a Decadron high!  ;D
