1.A lassie in love with a Lascar
Found his body akin to a mass scar
She had seen every cut
But the one on his butt
Which looked like, so he claimed, Madagascar

2.Hery Rajaon... rules Madagascar;
He's the Pres and is clearly the mass star.
He emerged from a coup
(There were lots in the queue!)
Let's hope that he's not the next ass star!

3. THE ALCOHOLIC TOURIST
On a toot down in old Madagascar
Left my pants and my shorts at the last bar
Threw my hat up a baobob
Gave my shirt to an Ihosy yob
Nude & drunk, just like last year at NASCAR

4.In an opium den sat a lascar
In a bad part of old Madagascar
Ah! A maid dressed in blue!
When I said, Will she screw?
He said back, I don't know, just go ask 'er.


5.In the deepest of dark Madagascar
Lurks the fearsomest beast, Snallygaster,
Who with fang and with claw
Stuffs prey into his maw,
So beware, lest you meet with disaster!

6.On a field trip in deep Madagascar
Carried specimens found in a glass jar
For a butterfly and a bee
Marinated in my pee
Got a 'D' -- not exactly the class star

I can't remember anymore which limerick I voted for, but I don't think it was the winner.

Will the real limerick writer please stand up and take a bow?!

Hmmm. I think the lesson here is that if we take too long, our attention moves on to other things. And other places.

Speaking of moving along - let's try BOLIVIA as our next destination. That sounds as though it has potential... I'd like to try two weeks for submissions, then two weeks for voting.

Only if you insist...but it's small. Maybe I'll take two.

Smile Whenever I think about "taking a bow," I remember that really old "I Love Lucy" where she takes that deep bow to meet the queen and gets stuck. They have to carry her to the queen. I just love those reruns! I just watched a YouTube of one where Lucy and Ethel were in London, trying to understand a man with an English accent. Finally they said, "We're Americans. We don't understand English!" Big Grin (I am not sure if it's the one with the bow or not.)

I got no votes, but then maybe nobody knows what a snallygaster is. Should I use it in a bluffing game?

Well, I didn't get any votes this time either. Hab ran away with it, didn't he? Sometimes one limerick just grabs everyone's fancy.

Hab gets to take a bow; do we who got no votes take a stern?

Well, I think we should get a little hug for trying. Wink

I didn't even look at these until yesterday. I thought number 1 was excellent. It was the only one that rhymed perfectly all the way through (to me). But I wish I were as good as any of you guys at this.

Thanks Tom. Limerick #1 was mine and I always like to try for perfect rhymes.

Ah, yes. That's the problem here. I like fun rhymes but many want perfect rhymes - which can be hard with all our different accents. Oh well.
