[MOD] Challenge: Limericks

St. Patty's Day is fast approaching. I think this calls for more drunk!fic, as there's only been one response to the challenge.

It also calls for limericks, because we did this once before, and it was all kinds of hilarious. So from now until St. Patrick's Day, your challenge is to come up with as many silly/bawdy/nonsensical limericks as possible.

Examples!

Do it. You know you want to. :D

Geez, I hope the new ones are more rhythmically rigourous than the old ones.

I'm a limerick snob, sorry. Of course, having commented thus, I am really obliged to do one. Hmm... k.

For your information, from Wiki: "A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict meter, popularized by Edward Lear. The rhyme scheme is usually "A-A-B-B-A", with a rather rigid meter. The first, second, and fifth lines are three metrical feet; the third and fourth two metrical feet. The foot used is usually the amphibrach, a stressed syllable between two unstressed ones. However, it can be considered an anapestic foot, two short syllables and then a long, the reverse of dactyl rhythm. However, many substitutions are common."

Y'know, The Amphibrach would be a hot name for a mutant villain! he'd have three feet, the middle one bigger than the other two!

Bonus points if you can write a limerick (or limerick story, which was a common theme last time) with The Amphibrach as a random side character. >:D

Oh God, the limericks challenge. *facepalm* Is it sad that that might be the one thing to draw me back into fandom?

It's not sad at all. I once told someone that I loved limericks more than porn.

It might even be true.

Gah. This'll so get me more interested into J/B. I really want to do this, especially after reading the old entries. -snort-

I only wish that my Creative Writing Teacher had already went over limericks with us. Gahh.
