I hooked up with a girl in Spokane.
She was great and I said to her, "Man!
You know how to screw!"
She said, "This joke's on you.
It's not often you sleep with a tran."

There are some good ones here!

YOO-HOO! Any non-lim-submitting voters out there? At the moment we have 5 votes cast, which are perhaps the 5 people who submitted limericks. What say you 5: should we wait for more votes, or are we ready to award the big prize?

I'm guessing you're a repeat winner, B35. Am I right or wrong?

I'll tell all tomorrow.

It's tomorrow today. :-)

In some places it's already yesterday and tomorrow.

Yuh, OK.. I admit, I won again. Proof, had you submitted that ad hoc entry, it would have won votes

Here's the line-up:
1. Geoff - bluesy entry, no votes
2.another by Geoff-- too political? Spokane did indeed have Klan.
3. yours truly, winner w/4 votes. Spokane has a yearly rodeo.
4. Proof got my vote-- loved that Omaha & Yamaha, deflated w/'can'
5. Another Proof, no votes
6. Kalleh's sinister van-man [trafficking?]- no votes
7. Greg's despite lesbo offering? no votes
8.Geoff's iron-pan-whacking entry, tho appealing - no votes
9. I tried again w/a tranny entry - no votes.


I'm willing to go another round on one condition: it'll be an unrhymable location, so entries will have to be creative... OR...

One of you can step up & suggest a rhymable location for the next round.

What say you?

Dang! You're good!

Go for the hard one. If you read my post in Q&A about the proper Ukrainian pronunciation of "Kiev," you might think it's unrhymable.

Yeah the occasional unrhymable can be fun.

The story of my life. Too little, too late.

6. Kalleh's sinister van-man [trafficking?]- no votes

And - this is story of my life.

Cheer up, Kalleh! I submitted three and got no votes. None of them scanned well, though. I was too busy thinking about prehistoric alcohol.

I usually understand why mine are not selected too. My rhymes and scans are always good - at least to my accent - but it's only infrequently that I can get that zinger in the last line. The rest of you are so much better at that! So I was only kidding with that sad face. Most times I totally get it.

Got the first 4 lines of a killer, but can't find that zinger you spoke of to bring it all together.

That happens to me often, Greg. Very frustrating! My wife wonders why I wander about the house muttering to myself and feeling irritable; this is why.

3 in already, >snort< funny. Remember, there have to be flaws! Go for it!

Three in for Spokane? Now I'm confuseder than ever!

I was talking about Los Angeles but responded in the wrong thread.

oops! ditto
