Here are the limericks on Brighton:

Limerick A:
    A big-bosomed babe took delight in
    Beguiling the boys out in Brighton -
    Afloat in the briny,
    She wore a wee tiny
    Bikini her boobs were too tight in.

Limerick B:
    A landlady rented in Brighton
    A room that I spent just one night in.
    I had planned on a week
    But I balked at the reek
    From the toilet that hadn’t a light in..

Limerick C:
    I'd be frightened to sight see in Brighton
    Cos surely my wallet would lighten.
    I'd buy purses and shoes
    And would add to the news
    That the US recession will heighten!

Limerick D:
    While indulging the night air at Brighton
    There was nothing about it to frighten,
    Till what gave me a peck
    And a pain in my neck
    Proved a vampire from “Twilight” a-bitin’

Limerick E:
    A crab stalked the beaches at Brighton
    Eyes out for a lass to "enlighten"
    Her ecdysic evasion
    Of his clawing persuasion
    Just left him with nothing but chitin.

Limerick F:
    The brute who had brought her to Brighton
    Was her tutor who taught her to tighten
    Particular muscles
    To move his corpuscles
    Enabling his hard 'n to heighten.

Limerick G:
    Would you like to dine out down in Brighton?
    Here's a joint that's quite likely to frighten:
    The Sassoon Mausoleum
    Is now for posh eatum;
    The bodies were moved, oh, so right-on!

Question:
Please vote for the one you prefer.

Choices:
Limerick A
Limerick B
Limerick C
Limerick D
Limerick E
Limerick F
Limerick G

There are some good ones there! I often think mine is good...even a possible winner...until I read the rest.

Shall we declare a winner? Have all the votes been cast?

Yes, I'd say so.

I'll post the details tonight when I get home from work (if I remember).

Any laggards: VOTE NOW!

Hi All,

OK - thanks! I guess that means I have to pick the town for the next game. Australia has a plethora of great place names upon which to base a limerick. I have two in mind at present. One would be relatively easy and lends itself to limericks of the saucy variety whereas the other is considerably more difficult but it is just such a great name for a town, I am thinking of going with it.

By the way is it de riguer (hope I spelt that correctly) for the game initiator to enter a limerick?

At some point someone will have to tell me (or point me to an archive where it is documented) how to set up the Poll.


Regards Greg

Good one, Greg! Excellent example of alliteration and word play!

I'd say that the initiator can submit a limerick if the winner is being judged by poll. If the initiator was judging, then he probably wouldn't.

Congrats, Greg.

Oy vey. Not one single vote for me. It reminds me of a song from my childhood:

Nobody loves me,
Everybody hates me,
I'm going in the garden to eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones,
Little teeny skinny ones
Every kind of worm that I can find!

That's how I remember it, though the Internet has it lots of different ways. "Find" doesn't rhyme with "worms" so that's obviously wrong. But you get the point!

I have to say that, to my mind, this crop of entries was probably the best ever. Greg's is a worthy winner - for me it was the triple alliteration in L1/2/5 that was the clincher.

Both Kalleh's and Wordmatic's are good and in lesser company either might have won. I liked Kalleh's topical reference to the present financial woes and I liked Wordmatic's valiant attempt to do something with a difficult to rhyme Brighton landmark.

The fact that our standards are so high must be a cause for self-congratulation.

Ah, well, I've learned that I don't have the majority taste in limericks. I've noticed that while I don't get any votes, I also don't vote for the winners, either.

Somebody has to guard against a skunking. Wink
