I decided to expand our horizons and get some really out of this world limericks.

For thoe who need to know the stress pattern is

AL-pha cen-TAU-ri

and the rhyme for British contributers is TORE-ee.

I suspect that for US contributers it may be TOH-ree but that's more of a guess.

Anyway my adjudication is this: rhyme it however you want to and we'll see what happens.

As always limericks in PMs to me.

Bob

It'll take me awhile on this one, but I'll give it a stab.

My mediocre one is in.

Then send him a better one!

Ha ha.....You're supposed to send in your good one, not the mediocre one.

I agree w/Geoff

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Geez. I was just kidding.

I hope no offense was taken. I thought it was funny; but I am sure everyone knew what you meant.

At the moment I have four limericks from three people.

Come on - give me more.

Here's one to help you along

A newshound from Alph Centauri
Came to Earth seeking journalists' glory.
He'd heard it was rife
With intelligent life:
It wasn't! He left with no story.

Oh, no offense was taken, Tom. I admit that my comment was rather thoughtless. Of course we all want to enter our best ones.

However, some of these places inspire a great limerick from me (even though others might not think it's great ), while others not so much. I need more inspiration for this one.

I haven't submitted yet, but will try to get one in before the end of the light year.

Still don't have enough - great, good or mediocre - limericks to make a game of it.

It's now five from three.

I have a work in progress, but not happy with it yet.

Getting there now!

Another forty-eight hours to get 'em in folks.

Oh dear..."a work in progress"...this sounds serious!
