Limericks...It is fun!!

[Logan]

We have been writing limericks in "Dog General" and it is so much fun! Someone initiated this on another board I frequent the other day, and the members have had a blast, so I carried the idea over here. Well, we can't leave the cats out.

Limericks are five lines, with lines 1,2 and 5 rhyming, and lines 3 & 4 rhyming. Here's my first "cat" attempt...pronounce everything to sound like butter, mutter, etc.!

Hello, my new name is Butter
I never knew one like my Mother
She tries to be nice
All I do is bite
But I won't trade her in for another


Pam has already shown herself to be a whiz on the dog board. You'll have to go read!

Here's another. Come on you guys (I'd like to say ya'll but I was afraid you might laugh at me)!!!

The queen of our house is Mimi
Occassionally she climbs up a tree
And she really fusses at Mother
For allowing a Butter
But loves to sit on my knee

[Cougie Wechsler]

Those are really good! I will brainstorm one and try it out! Are their certain grammatical rules for a limrick? Okay here is one:

Hello my name is Fester
And my house is always a laugh
People always come to see me
because some say I am a furry court jester!

[wolflady]

Gosh, I suck at limericks, but they are definitely fun to read!! Lemme give it a shot...
Ok, my cat Marius has a total foot fetish and absolutely loves fresh shower feet...so here's a limerick about it...

I have a fat white cat,
Who waits for me on the bathmat.
He's addicted to toes,
As everyone knows...
So what can you say about that??

This doesn't have anything to do with pets, but I did come up with a limerick about one of my friends on the fly after an interesting night out with him...we both laughed so hard about it the next day...Here it is...a true story...

There once was a man, Sreedhar
Who had a few drinks in the bar...
2 Kamikazees...
3 Long Island Iced Teas...
And then he puked in his car!!! LOL LOL LOL

I'll have to ponder some more kitty ones. Common ya'll!!! Join in!!!

P.S. Never be embarassed to say "ya'll"! LOL I'm originally from souther Indiana and it just slips out every now and then

[Cougie Wechsler]

Good job! I am trying to come up with more. One for Cougie and one for Maximus. By the way, I see people use "lol" alot - what does that mean?

[catwoman]

Cougie, LOL stands for (I'm) Laughing out Loud.

Hope this will make you LOL too:

There once was a kitty named Weezie,
Who did long for a nice piece of Cheese-y.
She thought that she smelled it,
She jumped up and held it ...
And gobbled it down, oh so easy!

[Logan]

Catwoman!! That is GREAT!!!!

[catwoman]

Thanks, Logan. I actually was a poetry major long ago ...

Try this one:

There once was a kitty named Thelma,
Who did hail from the South (not near Selma.)
But now she's in Denver
With a new "Pet Talk" member,
And happy to be here, she'll tell ya' ...

LOL I'd forgotten how much fun limericks are! Thanks for reminding me.

My Trevor is a big orange cat,
There are some who would say he is fat,
He is a large size,
Cause he doesn't exercise,
But I love him just the same, so that's that!

Logan, thanks for the compliment but I don't feel like a wiz!

There once was a big cat named Pippin
Who ruled all the house without trippin'
Until home one day
Came a black pup to stay
And Pippin's control started slippin'!

Now Pippin's an orange polydactyl
Though near 20 pounds, he's quite fragile
With pup Lady's bouncing
His ego took a trouncing
Cause though he's big, she is more agile

Pippin's not declawed at all,
And his paws certainly have the wherewithal
If he'd just swipe at her nose
With those sharp kitty toes
She'd learn his control isn't casual!

[Pam]

Oh Logan you got me going! I can't turn it off! Everyone is doing just great on both boards! Keep rhyming!

There's a great place to go on the net,
Where we can talk all about our loved pet,
We all have a ball,
Thanks to Karen and Paul,
'Cause so many neat people we've met!

[Logan]

See, Pam!! You are a poet and "you didn't know it"!! LOL!!!

You're doing great!!!

Hello, my name is Butter
Mimi would trade for another
She hisses at me
I chase her up a tree
and then we just both run for cover

Sorry, no limericks, but for some reason Logan's comment about "y'all" reminded me.....

Even tho my dad was in the Air Force, we had always lived in the south, in fact mostly in Texas. Plus my mom's family was all from Mississippi and Louisiana. My dad was from New Jersey, but we loved him anyway, and we never met his family, so we had no yankee influence in our language. Anyway, my dad was being transferred to Missouri, and all our friends and family warned us not to say "y'all" because all the yankees would laugh at us. So I adopted the "you guys". After a few months paling around with my new friends, I overheard one girl say to the other "Why does she always say 'you guys'? We're not guys!" From that day on I've always talked like I want, without regard to what anyone else thought!

Cougie - you might also see ROFL which means "Rolling on Floor Laughing" or ROTFL which is "Rolling on the Floor Laughing".

Thanks for letting me go off subject there!

[Logan]

Yeah, Leah!! A woman after my own heart. From now on, I will say "ya'll" with pride, just for you!! LOL!!!

My beautiful cat's name is Shiloh
She doesn't know the meaning of the word 'no'
Even though she can be quite bad
She never makes me mad
skjfl''dkf.. She's typing on the keyboard, DOH!!!
