Hello, hello, hello, and welcome one and all to the third poetry challenge on this here blog of bloggish bloggering: LIMERICKS! The rules are simple, but we'll get to that.
A limerick is pretty simple, here's an example:
There once was a hippo from London,
Whose shoelaces always were undone;
He tied them again
And time number ten,
But they still untied when he'd run.
Anyway, if you don't know what a limerick is, you can look it up. But anyway, this challenge is comprised of limericks. Here are the rules:
1. No inappropriate limericks. Limericks have a reputation for being as inappropriate as possible and they can be a bit above PG level. I will remove your limerick from the comments if I deem it too unseemly.
2. Write a limerick!!!!! And then post it in the comments if you want to.
3. See if you can come up with a rhyme for "pig iron." Write another limerick and use the two phrases, "pig iron" and whatever you come up with, at the end of your third and fourth lines. Post this in the comments, I want to see what everyone comes up with.
4. Check out the new template! How do you like it? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.
ANYWAY, LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their once was an Ukrainian goat,
ReplyDeletewho was good at chess, but did gloat.
he painted the sixth painting of a series,
and its greatness was challenged by queries,
with this mountain goat, reason still wearies.

I caught the reference, hehe. Good job!
DeleteThanks. Semithino up!
ReplyDeleteA dragon of eastern acclaim,
ReplyDeleteSeminthino is his name,
A lover of peace,
he lives in the east,
To mentor young Smok is his aim.

DeleteAnd here's the second stanza of the above:
ReplyDeleteA dragon of ill repute,
Gargazath is a brute.
He's tough and he's mad,
He's fierce and he's bad,
He loves to burn and to loot.
*This poem must be read with a british accent.
ReplyDeleteThere once was a castle called Macindaw,
Who's Master had struck out against the law,
Betraying the King,
And thereby to bring,
The country of his unto war
P.S. I trust that you should be able to find which book I am referencing her Joel, despite the utter lack of good poetry here.

ReplyDeleteForgive me for the mishap above, I obtained from checking my profile, allowing for this mistaken commentary. This is my Draconian poem:
ReplyDeleteA dragon, the oldest,
though once was called Boldest,
he battled while young,
hymns to Belligast were sung,
to ground all his enemies were brung.
I am not entirely assured that the verse and rhythm of this particular limerick is entirely flawless, but I hope you interpret it correctly, Joel.
