Kudos to all in the Box Hill game! All gave me a smile - or more.

Rockaway is a small town on the Oregon coast. See what you can do with it.

So far just one. Maybe I should have the declared the Rockaway in Queens, New York, which predates the one in Oregon. They are both coastline towns.

Let's have a bunch more!

Should have mine now

Yes, Bob, got yours. Four people have submitted so far, some with more than one limerick. But nothing from Proofreader or Bethree5. Are you two snowed in or under water?

Are you two snowed in or under water?

But not necessarily together....

And mine's in...

B3-5, where arrrrrre youuuuuuuu???

And where's Richard?

I'll try to get one in over the wkend but it may not be until Mn. Up to my ears in choral rehearsals

Ohhhh, THAT's where you've been! Missed you!

From Futility Closet:
There was a young man from Honshu
Who tried limericks in haiku,
But

I'll post the entries Tuesday evening, or Wednesday for Greg, I suppose.

I am on my way to SF, so I might not be able to revise mine before Tuesday. If not, go ahead and post it.

I'll postpone until Wednesday since Sue's 92-year-old mother fell and broke her leg a couple of hours ago. Things will me somewhat chaotic (MORE than nurmally chaotic) tonight and tomorrow, I suspect. So, Kalleh and B35, you've got a reprieve - get to it!

PS: What are you going to do in Santa Fe?

Geoff-- will do, & hope you're MIL is OK!!

Arnie-- hahahahaha I LOVE that haiku joke!

All who wish to submit entries have done so, and the mother-in-law is in recovery, so here they are:

1. To nude “Pebble Beach” near Rockaway

go the Flinstones and Rubbles on Holiday

The girls free their chest-boulders

from the over-the-shoulder holders

and Fred can’t put his igneous cock-away.



2. Hey, thinking of buying in Rockaway?

You've probaby just thrown your clock away.

The streets are all wet sand

The homes are all smashed and

The hurricane washed every dock away.


3. I once met a woman in Rockaway,

We cavorted; she threw her sparse frock away.

But now she's a bore

With a family and more...

Wish I'd kept her and thrown the damn lock away!


4. I live in a town called Rockaway

The sea is only a block away.

I fell off a dock

and sank like a rock.

The tide was out so I could walk away.



5. I heard a young woman from Rockaway,

Right after she'd popped out her knockers, say,

To her show pony beau

Who himself had a go,

"For God's sake please put that damn cock away!"


A fowl farmer based down in Rockaway

Once heard one of his many knockers say,

"If his rooster ain't goin'

To stop all that crowin',

I'll bloody well take his damn cock away!"


I once heard a Rockaway knocker say,

"I ain't settin' foot in that Rockaway.

There's a rumour I've 'eard

'Bout a boob-poppin' bird

'n' 'er farm-boy who can't put his cock away!"


6. A shepherd who lived up in Rockaway,

Said, "It would be much better to lock away

The ewe that I kissed

For she's told of our tryst

And frightened nine-tenths of the flock away."


7. Said a gentleman farmer of Rockaway

“If you must mock my farm, then please mock away

Mock my wheat and my oats,

Mock my sheep, pigs and goats

But be grateful that I put my cock away.”

The poll page confuses me, so just declare which is your favorite/favourite right here. #4 is a single entry trilogy.

Does someone want to put them in a Poll for Geoff, making sure that the two No 3's get separate numbers

I'll do it ...

Numbering errors corrected.
