Something fun....limericks

[Logan]

Today on the Golden Retriever site, someone started a message thread where we would submit limericks about our Goldens. The only rule was that the first line would be: "I own a great Golden named _____". Of course you don't all have Goldens, but it is fun. Here are the ones I posted. I know, I know, I got carried away.

We own a great Golden named Honey
Sometimes she isn't so funny
A hunter is she
Even after we plea
We are relieved; so far no bunny

We own a great Golden named Honey
Her chewing has cost me some money
Shoes, plants and rugs
She gives them a tug
Then goes and naps where its sunny

We have a great Golden named Lilly
When it comes to her food she is silly
Lilly feels no guilt
About eating whats spilt
So we're off for a walk up the hilly

We have a great Golden named Lil
When her hips hurt, she swallows her pill
A sweetheart is she
She fills us with glee
And Mom gladly takes care of the bill

Hope you will all join in. I think I remember that in a limerick, the first, second and fifth lines rhyme with eachother, then the third and fourth line rhyme.

Start writing!!!!

I know a great golden named Sadie
Who unfortunately wasn't a lady
She ate two apple pies
When away from prying eyes
When discovered, her future became shady

I knew a great Golden named Puffles
Whose fur was all red-gold fine ruffles
But a tough-boy was he
He'd fix trucks with Daddy
And come home all dirty from scuffles

I knew a great golden named Rusty
Whose passion in life was the Frisbee
He'd leap without care
Straight into the air
Catch it, then run and play "catch me!"

(Sadie belongs to a friend, who was not at all happy about the pies - she actually chomped a big bite out of the middle of the third pie, when she was too full to eat the whole thing ...)

Puffles was a neighborhood dog when I was a kid

Rusty belonged to a co-worker, and came to company picnics!

Great limericks, Karen! We're on a roll now. Hey guys, it doesn't have to be about Goldens (although, you know I love them). Write about all your dogs!!

I love writing poems... Here are mine about Simba


I own a wonderful mutt named Sim
He can be a pain in the butt,Still I Love Him
He fills my heart with glee
not even charging a fee
Only for I to love him

My dog Simba owns me
he will sure tell me if he has a flee
he has alot stored in his brain
theres no need to explain
only watch as he preforms tricks for me!

I like my last one the best.

How about doing a Alliteration poem?
which is most words start with the same letter and its a funny poem heres an example:

the giggling gaggle of geese gathered on the green grassy lawn grown by gary greyfeild

The Silly Smashing of seven snowcones was done by sweet sunshine boy Simba.

[Daisy's Mom]

I have a great Basset named Daisy.
I guess I'll admit.. yeah, she's lazy.
But when I have something to eat
She really moves those four feet
And at my feet, she begs something crazy!

I love poetry! And my, you are all good at it!

[*SimButtTwo4U*]

Heres the different poems I just wrote about Simba. Sorry i got a little out of hand but i LOVE poetry

First heres another limerick.

I own a great mutt named Basim
Sometimes he makes me chase him
I dont give him the blame
as he only thinks of it as a game
At the end he lays down and lets me pet him


now heres Acroustic poem:
Smileing
In Love With a Rott names Dutchess
Makes my heart melt with his eyes of golden brown
Boys and girls love him
Adults share that love of him.

Cinquain:
Here's the rules for a Cinquain

Line One- 2 syllables
Line Two- 4 syllables
Line Three- 6 syllables
Line Four- 8 syllables
Line Five- 2 syllables

Simba
Smileing Love
Awakeing me with joy
Gentle kisses of love I recieve
My Babe

5 Sences poem:
line 1 is a color
line 2 is a taste
line 3 is a sound
line 4 is a sight
line 5 is a smell
line 6 is a feeling

Simba with golden brown and black fur
Hes So sweet he may taste like sugar
His bark is like a Pit Bull's
His looks are so brilliant
His fur smells like hes fresh from a flower bath
his coat is like golden lace and silk

I'm warning everybody I'm not good at this.

My Schnauzer's name is Daisy
My husband says she's crazy
She never comes when you call
Unless you throw her the ball
Sometimes she loves to be kissed
With Daisy....how can we resist?

[Logan]

Oh, Jackie and Kay Ann!! Good work!!! We need more, more, more!! Where are the rest of you??

Ok.. I'll try to think of one before we run to obedience class.. here goes:

I own a great poodle named Reece
His curly hair is soft as fleece
Brown eyes deep as the sea,
He doesn't even come up to my knee!
But I love him piece by piece.

Ok I know I know, a first grader can write a better one than me
Bridget, yours is cute

This is for Jackies Perry Boy:

Jackie owns a great dog named Perry
Not to be confused with Jerry
He has a sister named Daisy
Yes she is crazy
But, She loves sweet ole' Perry

Aly yours is adorable!!!

[jackiesdaisy1935]

KayAnn I love it

How abou this one, Logan created a Monster

Perry came to live with us one day
Daisy didn't know what to say
We told her look, that's your new brother
She said,"I'm a loner...I don't want another"
As time went on..she loved and opened her heart
Love between brother and sister, never to part.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

KayAnn here is one for Basim

We know a great dog named Basim,
Everyone on PetTalk sure does love him,
He is big and strong and photogenic too,
Without Basim we don't know what KayAnn would do.

[*SimButtTwo4U*]

I Love it!!!
I Like It better than mine!!


I wish my digital worked.. i drew a great picture of a AmStaff. But the batteries are dead in it Im going to get new ones soon. I also drew a picture of Simba and like a cartoonish german shepherd! I love them.. i think i did a good job..and ym mom loves them too!

[Logan]

Oooooh! Aly, KayAnn and Jackie are into the poetry now!! Where is Pam? Rachel? K9Karen? Sandra???? Everyone else???

[Pam]

Oh Logan this is so hard. I should have named her something other than Bella! Nothing rhymes! Well here goes....

I have a great poodle named Bella,
She's getting spayed so she won't need a fella,
She doesn't always behave,
And may send me to an early grave,
But for NO money would I ever sella (sell her) Pathetic!
