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

I've seen quite a few people over the past few months put poems in their journals. So I just thought I knock something up :-



There was a young lady from kent,
whos bike wheels would get terribly bent,
shes was terribly large,
the size of the barge,
And her dress was the size of a tent.

Now to be understood and be sure,
She could certainly fit through the door,
though to go up the stairs,
took so many affairs,
that she liked to stay on one floor.

Her like for the bike was to some,
Strange for a woman so wide as so long,
But the truth that lies in,
Is that she once was thin,
And with curls in her hair that is blond.

One day the once thin lady did sigh,
So a kind young man gave her a pie,
She liked it so much,
She had it for lunch,
and ate two dozen more that same night.

Twelve months this went on for the girl,
Whos shape now resembled a pearl,
Her face did go blue,
As she tried to move,
Because of her incredible girth.

Though her love for the bike did go on,
And she loved to try ride by the pond,
Though as much as she tried,
Because of her size,
The poor wheels would not move her along

Now a warning for those with their pride,
Who like two dozen pies and to ride,
Do not mix the two,
Or you will look a fool,
Trust me, I'm trying to be kind

That was exellent!

I really like limricks, dirty and otherwise.

You don't happen to play rugby do you

good poem

Thanks!

And no I don't play rugby, well not in about 5 years. (Please forgive me if I'm being a bit thick)

verc - great poem!

i was wondering...

do you mind if i add your poem to the Spaced Out Guide?

spook

Go right ahead

I don't really have a name for it. Maybe you could just call it "The Lady From Kent". I'm open to better suggestions though...

can now be found in the spaced out guide at A1011060.

Thanks spook but why did you get rid of the last verse?

woops! must have accidentally deleted it when correcting spellings in Word. i'll update it with the lst verse the next time i log in to that account.
