KallehLimerick Game: Glasgow
Shu and I will be in Scotland in a few weeks. We'll be in Edinburgh, but it seemed too hard to rhyme. So, I will choose
Glasgow for the next game. Let's have more than 3 submissions, please!

KallehCome on, folks. This shouldn't be a hard one, right? How about some limericks? I have a big, fat zero number of limericks now.
June 17, 2013, 20:37
KallehAre you all busy right now, or do you not like this venue for a limerick? I still don't have any submissions.

With you and Shu in bonny Scotland and me working a summer school where I'll have intermittent computer access at best summer is probably gonna be a lean time around here.

Good point. Proof and arnie, you'll have to ramp it up!
I got yours, Bob. How about the rest of you?

bethree5Been outta town. I'm on it now.

KallehI am happy to change the word, if people are having trouble with this one. When even Bob has trouble, I am thinking it isn't a good word.
Or maybe people are just too busy?
June 21, 2013, 13:39
bethree5Hey I like a challenge! & Bob says he sent one. I may not manage TWO, though
June 21, 2013, 20:27
KallehYours was great! I have four so far, so one more would be great. I'll post them tomorrow if anyone else out there would like to try. It isn't too bad when you get started. I even like mine this time!
June 22, 2013, 21:41
KallehI am trying to entice Shu to submit one. He has some great rhyming words in mind.

Greg SOnly just found out there was a game, because there was no notification in the previous game's thread. I will try to whip one up over the next day or two.

<Proofreader>She said, 'Lad, let's indulge in a fast go."
So we screwed on her lawn, up in Glasgow.
She said, "I didn't dream
You could spew out such cream.
Do you think it will help making grass grow?"

KallehGreg, I'll wait for yours then. I've gotten some surprisingly good ones, given the word. I had thought it was easy when I started, but when I began writing, I realized it wasn't.

KallehI am giving this limerick game one more day. Please send any more limericks to me by tomorrow, and then I'll post them all. By tomorrow means by 9 pm, Central time on July 3rd.

KallehWonderful! I'll post the poll in another thread.
Thanks, all. There are some excellent ones with a word that isn't all that easy.
