But lost it at the end, not knowing how to end the poem and making it drag on too long, completely ruining the meter and the pace and possibly even ruining the entire challenge, the d!ck.

The poem above needs more care.

To submit it, how did I dare?

Truly ’twas awful,

Maybe unlawful,

I beg forgiveness, Uschibear.

My sentence hangs from the rafter;

There I’ll remain hereafter.

To me please be kind,

And may I remind:

The best medicine is laughter.

In this case, I hope everyone knows what a Limerick is. The more humorous the better. The more awful the better. If you have more than one, better still. I hope we can make each other laugh. As always, I'll read them all and then decide on the winner.

Dear John

This feeling I get off of you

makes my brain a thunder cloud blue

perhaps we’d be better

to write you a letter

telling you with a flourish adieu.

The brick joke

there was a poor boy,his name’s Nick,

he was born with a terrible tick,

So a bridge he climbed up,

but not for to jump,

but to cast his bad luck with a brick

to be honest, i am all too ravenous,

my stomach is spacious and cavernous,

i eat to excess,

i make no pretence,

and so my shape’ is mostly gelatenous.

i have a young girl , she’s so cute,

she never holds still, she’ll soon scoot,

as already mentioned,

my weight and my penchant

so the running is not such a hoot.

some words, they fell into disuse,

like hoot and scoot and abacus,

but why should i mind,

the words left behind,

if my spelling is so outrageous.

my students, they can’t understand,

the words that i write, chalk in hand,

so instead , cards i make,

and let those brats take,

presentations with games to expand.

elevators hate me , they do,

i am not being paranoid, its true!

they avoid coming down ,

when they know i’m around,

it’s my weight , that they fear, i construe.

on the car hood there is a big dent,

it is sad and the car i lament,

if it wasn’t for Nick,

and his f**ing hard brick,

impacting the car in decent!

Incident in the Kitchen

There once was a kitchen rookie

Who took a microwave look-see

He put in some noodles

But was off by oodles

Smoke is a signal to boogie

Covidiot

Mouthbreather anti-vaxer, Ike

Derided the pandemic spike;

Dispatched was his ass,

Eschewing the mask,

And his heart and two lungs alike.
