It looks like no one else wants to try so here are the Tipton Limericks. Voting below. 1 Please vote for my limerick on Tipton Or I'll cry and I'll scream, being gypped 'n Winning the prize So focus your eyes And pick on this hip one you've tripped 'n. 2 The movie had barely a script an' The actors were frequently stripped an' Though clearly a porno The locals all swore no Such film had been made down in Tipton! 3 Three hieroglyphists in Tipton Despaired there of ever decryptin’ An ancient Egyptian Religious inscription For none knew what glyph was the script in. 4 A dominatrix working in Tipton Had punters who loved to be whipped on. At the end of the day (Or so people say) Her boobs (if you paid) could be kipped on. 5 All the ladies who lunch down in Tipton Agree that their tea should be Lipton. They say they’ve no feeling For Bell or Darjeeling So cartons of Lipton they’ve shipped in. 6 A lad in the Black Country sipped on His Sarah Hughes beer as he quipped on The beers in states, Like Bud that he hates, "We'll show you the way here in Tipton." 7 Is this what it means to be Tiptonite? - A local, who was caught as he stripped on sight, Denied drunken stupour And claimed he was Super And his suit was infected by Kryptonite!

I must be getting senile. Even though I don't remember having seen this thread before, the poll's computer told me I already voted once and can't vote again. | ||

Bob can just do what I did once - exercise a casting vote. Regards Greg | |||

A three way tie! OK, I'll have a casting vote. The options appear to be 2 5 or 6. Now all of you have done very well and I don't want any tears. Remember in a sense you are all winners. Of course in the only sense that actually counts for anything all but one of you are losers. Life can be cruel. Number five has to be rejected because the vowel in that last line is close but doesn't actually rhyme. Number two I liked but number six accurately captures a pastime far more likely in Tipton than shooting a porno movie so the winner is ... Number 6 posted by Kalleh For the record the entries were by 1 Kalleh 2 Greg 3 stella 4 Richard 5 stella 6 Kalleh 7 Greg "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||

I am happy that Kalleh won. Personally I really liked and voted for Stella's Egyptian inscription limerick. However I do have to say Bob, you're just another local swearing that it didn't happen, but I bet it has. Regards Greg | |||

I hope my #1 limerick didn't sway Bob, but even if it did, I am happy! I'll start a new thread with a new venue to limericize. To those sweet two who voted for mine: Thank you! | |||
