Here are the entries for this latest limerick game. Please choose one, and one only. No multiple voting allowed (or possible).

Question:
1. Jack Spratt moved his home to Moline
Said of his plate, “It’s so clean
Because I eat no fat
And my wife, fancy that,
For her part, well she eats no lean.

2. We are driving at speed through Moline
With the radio blasting “Jolene”
But I hate C and W
Do you think I could trouble you
For a rock station - don’t be so mean.

3. A scant’ly-clad geek from Moline
Set her cap for the buff farmer green
She got on her tractor
And guessed with protractor
How much tits and ass should be seen

4. Fair Sylvia of Sweden, dear Queen
Twice visited near to Moline
The folks in Rock River
Were sure all aquiver
But Moline? the Queen was unseen.

5. Inventor John Deere was most keen
To move his biz quick to Moline—
Left Andrus in the dust;
Grand Detour’s only just
A museum of the steel plow machine

6. It sits on the border: Moline;
And it’s one of a quad - and so keen.
It’s time for diversion,
A winter excursion -
On down to the River - let’s preen!

Choices:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six

 

Thanks, proof, for posting this. Sorry I messed up with the Bluffing Game posts. I'll get those out tomorrow, I promise.

Well, #3 is doing quite well!

Hmph! My 2-verse C&W got left off the docket, so here it is.

No votes,please,just applause.

An auburn-haired gal named Jolene
Takes the Rock Island Line to Moline
She then takes my man
Because, she just can,
Oh, mean Jolene, you've turned me green!

Oh you've got some brass, Miss Jolene
You've made me an ass in Moline
'Twas a mighty fine roam
But I'm followin' you home
With rags and a quart gasoline.

Wow...those are great, Bethree! I am sure that Proof left them out on purpose.

Just discovered the Poll was up and voted, but I am concerned that maybe there's a bug in the Software because before I voted for No. 5 it had no votes and now it has 2 and I also tried to Post a Reply which disappeared into the ether. And then I got a warning telling me I had already voted, so I am wondering if anyone else just happened to vote for No. 5 around about the same time. If not then somehow I have stumbled across a way to Vote twice. Very Odd?

For what it's worth I would have voted for B35's if it was in the game.

Sorry, B5. That one seems to have evaporated in tshe e-mail ether. I never got it. To0 bad, since it seems fairly adequate.

As we like to say in Banished English, "whatever.. no problem"

It is odd, Greg, and I don't know what might have happened. Did anyone else have anything similar happen? We could contact our server.

Did you delete them from yopur own PM list?
If you are the originator that also deletes them from everybody else's list.

No, it's still on my sent PM list. But maybe a glitch in my email. It's probably lying on the tracks somewhere near Moline.

Betty Jean was a queen from Moline
And a sight not too many have seen.
Orange hair, purple lips,
Nicotined fintgertips,
And her eyes and her teeth were bright green.

Since no one else is voting, I'll post the results tomorrow.

I love limericks that have multiple rhymes within them.

Numbers one and two were composed by BobHale.
Three, four, five were authored by Bethree5.
Six was Kalleh.
The undisputed winner was Bethree5's three, although I think she would have won had I seen the lost poem she posted, anyeay.

Your turn, B5.

Betty Jean sounds a little like me...

will post new location shortly

Congrats, Bethree! Nicely done. Perhaps I'll stop focusing on the venue and just focus on the limerick.

[And I am sure you're nothing like Betty Jean!]
