Blackhawk Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 To enter, write a Christmas limerick (serious or funny) and post it on this thread. If you celebrate another holiday instead of Christmas, write a limerick about what you celebrate. Any entry having the word "Nantucket" in it will be disqualified. The winner will be randomly drawn from all entrants in about a week. The prize will be a US 2¢ piece or Morgan dollar (choice of the winner).

Dan769 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 There was a young boy named Zack, who had a train but no track, hoping on Christmas to fix this dilemma, instead got socks and a hat from Aunt Emma, so still does track Zack lack.

TheKidCollector Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 The Archwizard knew many a spell, but was too old to see very well. He sold a new scroll, which exacted it's toll on the buyer who was sent straight to Hell! TKC, Please comment so I can improve and I am looking foward to the 2 cent, I have been dying to get one! This 1 I did for school. There was a young lady named May Who was taking a ride in her sleigh. She ran out of snow, Her sleigh wouldn't go. Now her horse pulls an old Chevrolet! i found this 1 There once was an old Eskimo who hated the cold and the snow When Christmastime came "I'm too cold!" she'd exclaim So she flew her igloo to Acapulco.

BiggAndyy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I don’t celebrate Boxing Day or Hanukkah, Nor Ramadan, Shichi-Go-San or Kwanza. Not Guy Fawkes Day, Nor even St. Lucia Day, It's Christmas for me in Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Okay, this one's not mine and, therefore, not my entry, but I just had to share it with you. I think it's a hoot! "The following message was posted by Lester the other Jester on Wednesday, February 5th at 7:58:41 AM When the moon hits your eye Like a big pizza pie That's amore. When an eel bites your hand And that's not what you planned That's a moray. When our habits are strange And our customs deranged That's our mores. When your horse munches straw And the bales total four That's some more hay. When a Japanese knight Waves his sword in a fight That's Samurai. When Othello's poor wife She gets strangled in strife That's a Moor, eh? When your sheep go to graze In a damp marshy place, That's a moor, eh? When your boat comes home fine And you tied up her line That's a moor, eh? When you ace your last test Like you did all the rest That's some more A's! When on Mt. Cook you see A tall aborigine, That's a Maori. A comedian ham With the name Amsterdam That's a Morey. When your chocolate graham Is so full and so crammed That's a s'more.

Marco Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light, From now on our troubles Will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on our troubles Will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more. Through the years We all will be together If the Fates allow, Hang a shining star On the highest bough, And have yourself A merry little Christmas now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Looks like some folks need a Limerick lesson. Lines one, two and five of a limerick should ideally consist of three anapests each, concluding with an identical or similar phoneme to create the rhyme. Lines three and four are shorter, constructed of two anapests each and again rhyming with each other. Thus, the overall rhyme structure of a, a, b, b, a, with the beat pattern a:da-da-daah da-da-daah da-da-daah b:da-da-daah da-da-daah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 The limerick packs laughs anatomical Into space that is quite economical; The good ones I've seen Are seldom so clean, Whilst the clean ones are seldom so comical. Basically.. 5 Lines Lines 1,2 & 5 rhyme. Lines 3 & 4 rhyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I wanted to make those letters red but why don't it works? I've had trouble with stuff like that since I got here but I've got the color down now. What I usually do is: 1. Under Code Buttons (look up and to your left when making reply) choose the radio button for Guided Mode. 2. Highlight the information you want to color (or make bold, underline, italics, change size or font, etc.) 3. Choose your color from the drop down box in the Code Buttons area The reason yours wasn't red was because, although the red color tag was at the beginning, there was no red color tag at the end of your selection. If you were to go back and choose Edit, you could put this at the end to make it red: [/color] If you're good with tags, you could just put them in yourself and not go through the Guided Mode. The one at the beginning would be [ color = ? ] and the end would be [ / color ]. DON'T LEAVE SPACES IN BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS, THOUGH! I had to so I could show you the tags without actually coloring my words and making the tags disappear. Did this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
