emmaki Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Whether you’re from county Limerick, have a tenuous association with the place or just like limericks, this is the place to be. 🔥Other humorous forms of poetry etc accepted too.What is a Limerick?en.wikipedia.org Limerick (poetry)A limerick is a form of verse, often humorous and sometimes obscene, in five-line, predominantly anapestic meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme. The following example is a limerick of unknown origin: The limerick packs laughs anatomicalInto space that is quite economical.But the good ones I've seenSo seldom are cleanAnd the clean ones so seldom are comical. The form... I don’t know how to make limericks!Sure you do. Feast on Edward Lear and just make up some shite that rhymes with due inspiration:“There was an Old Man with a nose,Who said, 'If you choose to suppose,That my nose is too long,You are certainly wrong!'That remarkable Man with a nose.”Check out the illustrations. This is great stuff! http://www.nonsenselit.org/Lear/BoN/bon010.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 And anti-limericks are welcome, like this one I’ve lazily pilfered from the wiki:There was a young man of JapanWhose limericks never would scan.When asked why this was,He replied "It’s becauseI always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as ever I possibly can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaisefaint Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There’s a young lass who lives in NantucketWho carries her cash in a bucketShe says with a grin,“I’m not one to sinBut I’d sell out my Gran for a ducat!”[details=New Improved Ending for Romeo and Juliet]Romeo and Juliet: The language is a little archaic, a little flowery. That William Shakespeare. He tried, all right? Romeo and Juliet has endured for over 400 years, but it’s got a major story problem.We pick up with the new and improved, shorter ending in Act V, Scene III, right after the death of Paris.In this version, Juliet starts to wake up a little quicker, to move things along.Scene III. Verona. A churchyard; in it the monument of the Capulets. Romeo: In faith, I will. Let me peruse this face. Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris! What said my man when my betossed soul Did not attend him as we rode? I think He told me Paris should have married Juliet. Said he not so? or did I dream it so? Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet To think it was so? O, give me thy hand, One writ with me in sour misfortune's book! I'll bury thee in a triumphant grave. A grave? O, no, a lanthorn, slaught'red youth, For here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes This vault a feasting presence full of light. Death, lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd. [Lays him in the tomb.][Juliet begins to stir] Romeo: Yon nymph, Juliet, she looketh hot whilst yet she sleepeth.[He admires her approvingly as she wakes.] Juliet: Wha... wha happened? Romeo! Romeo! Therefore art thou, Romeo![Romeo kneels to the ground and pulls out a ring.] Romeo: Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.' Juliet: Yeseth! Oh, yeseth! Verily!Enter Friar [Laurence], with lanthorn, crow, and spade. Friar. Saint Francis be my speed! how oft to-night Have my old feet stumbled at graves! Who's there? Bal. Here's one, a friend, and one that knows you well. Friar. Bliss be upon you! Tell me, good my friend, What torch is yond that vainly lends his light To grubs and eyeless skulls? As I discern, It burneth in the Capels' monument. Bal. It doth so, holy sir; and there's my master, One that you love. Friar. Who is it? Bal. Romeo. Friar. How long hath he been there? Bal. Full half an hour. Friar. Go with me to the vault. Bal. I dare not, sir. My master knows not but I am gone hence, And fearfully did menace me with death If I did stay to look on his intents. Friar. Stay then; I'll go alone. Fear comes upon me. O, much I fear some ill unthrifty thing. Bal. As I did sleep under this yew tree here, I dreamt my master and another fought, And that my master slew him. Friar.[He walks in on Romeo and Juliet making out, in a wholesome mannerappropriate for two 15-year-old kids.] Friar. Romeo! Juliet! Romeo and Juliet [in unison]: We're getting married! It's a happy ending! [Exeunt omnes.]THE ENDEnd of the New and Improved Ending of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare[/details] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
