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!

Question:
Which one do you like best?

Choices:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

We need a tie breaker.

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

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! Big Grin

I'll start a new thread with a new venue to limericize.

To those sweet two who voted for mine: Thank you!
