h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hand-in-hand with Sarah

Mister John Doe

And his good friend, Bo,

Stubbed his big toe

Once, while wading in flora
Hand-in-hand with Sarah
Mister John Doe
And his good friend, Bo,
Stubbed his big toe

Isn't a Limerick!

Why not Dora, Laura, Maura or some other girls name that rhymes
in the second line? And the last line should then rhyme with line 2 and be the same length. Or was it a double posting? Anyway I'm starting a new one:

================================

I sat down too hard on my chair

and squashed the cat that was there

It mewed like a kitten


("And his good friend, Bo,"
and
"Stubbed his big toe"
were simultaneous postings.)

And Jonny's nose off it bitten.

The bomb's in the mail.
Hmmmm, I just realized that I did not light the fuse. Jonny, can you do me a favor and light the fuse when you get it?

Poor pussy had had such a scare!

==========

The Ringmaster had such a fright

You are the most recent are you still listening?

Zippo do you mean me?

Forgot to light the fuse? What kind of idiot are you, Some? Ah well, I'll light it for you when it arrives - you did remember to include a return address, didn't you?

The Ringmaster had such a fright,
Caused, in part, by short-sight,

The meaning of life is very fragile...
If you add 1 or subtract 1, it's no longer anything but a number...
and what if you write it on a paper and the paper flips?
Then it looks more like an ear...

The tiger jumped far


Jonny, look what I found! It says remote detonater! Hmmm, I wonder what this red button does. Click. It says "The bomb blew up, I told you not to push this again" on the LCD display. Cool! What do you think it means Jonny? Jonny? Jonny? Well what do you know, I had the detonator all along.

By the way, does anybody know who that guy was?
I mean Seven Of Nine would have field day with him. By the way I am not a Trekkie.

I thought that we were supposed to be doing limericks here. And would you stop blowing each other up. Its going to play havok with the wallpaper.

Thank you kindly

So write some limericks. Or was that some kind of super long line?

No it was a polite pointer in the direction of purpose

====================

There was a young girl at a computer

Well "wallpaper" isn't even close to rhyming with "far" so I doubt it was meant to be a line of the limerick, but then again half the stuff posted here doesn't scan or rhyme anyway so it's kind of hard to tell. All part of the fun, but I'm going to assume that it wasn't...

The Ringmaster had such a fright,
Caused, in part, by short-sight,
The tiger jumped far,
And well over the bar,

No no no menzy! You're doing it all wrong
The Ringmaster had such a fright
Caused, in part, by short-sight
The tiger jumped far...


This is what we have, no need to start a new one.
