In the grand tradition of the word association game, and the 4-word story, comes the Build-a-Limerick game. You know how a limerick goes, right? The first, second and last lines must rhyme and be 8 syllables, and the 3rd and 4th lines must rhyme with 6 syllables. Most should know how the metre goes, but I'll give you a sample:

There one was a man from Peru, (8)
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe, (8)
he awoke in the night, (6)
with a terrible fright, (6)
and found it was perfectly true! (8)

You don't have to hit exactly the right number of syllables, as long as the metre works.

If you are the one finishing a Limerick, then you may start a new one in the same post. In keeping with the spirit of the game, please do NOT post more than one line at a time.

I'll start us off:

There once was a cool guy named Buzz,

    whose chin used to have some peach fuzz,

      When asked "why?" He said, "just because!"

      // ok, that was boring LOL Let's try another one...

      While practicing smacks with her LART,

        And said, "I'll give you a head start!"

          "where's the new beginning?" asked moonglobe,

            1 syllable short, Moonglobe 😃

              1 syllable over now, I'm afraid...

                does it look like it matters?

                  said goldbug as the rest all complained

                    All posts should contain Limericks,

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

                    and if you want to post other material, that's okay, but make sure that you always include a line from the current Limerick.

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

                      Limerick new start as seems to have lost its way...

                      There once was an admin that sucked,

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