Provide the last line of the limmerick composed by the previous poster. Then compose the next limmerick. The line you provide should rhyme with and have the same rhythm as the first two lines of the previous poster's limmerick. Try to keep it at least PG-13. :wink:

The cashier, he just couldn't stand it.
The things that his bosses demanded
So he undid his belt to express how he felt...

The mind denies
but the body decides
it's a little bit confusing

I told you it was confusing
and as I am only perusing
the threads
I dread
preconceived apocalyptic rhyming

that makes no sense to me. it is the last line that throws my attention off the rails of your rickety roller coaster that is constructed in such haste that i will not board.

The cashier, he just couldn't stand it,
The things that his bosses demanded,
So he undid his belt
To express how he felt -
And learned his boss was both gay and left-handed.

Yaay! Your turn, Deacon. Or somebody--start another limerick. I'm sorry about the lack of a line break between lines 3 and 4, btw. It's been a long time since I've tried any.

lost a race that he'd brilliantly started
because he was passed

There was only one possible end to that. Okay:

"There once was a man called Enis,
Who-" Oh, PG-13

Clarence was a old-fashioned man,
Knew the history of his old Scottish clan,
But when questioned on fashion,
Or anything passin'...

There once was a man from Quebec,
Who was found in snow up to his neck
When they asked "Are you friz?"
He replied, "Yes I is" ...

A poet from Winnipeg, Man.
Wrote verses that never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He said "That's because...."

Here's the next one:

Some people who meant what they said
Had literal thoughts in their head.
They blurted them out
And others would shout:
