Shamelessly copying Semaphore's brilliant but exhausting idea of responding to everyone's limericks with another limerick.
~~
Inspired by Semaphore’s verse
On blogs his comments disperse
As imitation is flattery
I’ll charge my battery
And hope I’m not too much worse

Ah those traditional values
So rare we nowadays choose
We're in such a rush
To "know" our little crush
It sometimes leads to relationship blues

The limericks of yesterday were fate
We peaked a bit then opened the gate
Oh what fun
To escape the hum drum
Without us putting on weight
~~
It really was an avalanche
Those limericks like leaves on a branch
I liked your old bat
If only we’d chat
At the Suez Canal or a ranch

Ah those old campground days
Fond memories remain as a haze
I remember my crush
But could only blush
As at her chestnut hair I would gaze

In the ’50s they all wore hats
Now they’re in closets with gnats
Except if you’re bald
You still wear them all
Yet the ladies won’t give you a chat

Modern medicine is such a game
If given pills, then who’s to blame?
If someone’s got a flu
The doctor he'll sue
But if he OD’s on pills, why it’s a shame

Gunnedah’s a town I didn’t know
But thanks to you I wanna go
Just 7,500 strong
On fame it’s long
Of models and ruggers in tow

Peaceful as a tai chi morning
With breath that’s deeply adorning
To start off the day
With chi in array
My mind is already forming

He tried to keep it at bay
He did what he could
Now ’is body’s so good
They really wish he would stray

I too am a caffeine addict
Drinking a jug of espresso I picked
Your line was so funny
I almost peed honey
They’ll lock me up, I predict

Some people say there’s a woman to blame
But Jimmy and I know it’s all the same
Those high school years
Were so full of tears
Until I knew it was but a game

A bucking horse is scary
And riding one could be a hairy
Your mare was tough
She gave you gruff
So why not free her on the prairie?

What a sweet story you tell
At his hobby I wouldn’t yell
For though he likes ponies
He still has cronies
And for that it’s just as well

Oh that beautiful hair
The inmates can’t help but stare
He made a mistake
His story’s a fake
Now what he needs is a prayer

A shoe, a hat, and zen
Two limericks from your pen
The first a philosophy
The next an apostrophe
So to you, a wise man, I say amen!

Yours were my favorites to read
Clever and crude’s what I need
A girl from France
A promising dance
The only thing better, a Swede.

That was quite clever, I like
Though you, your poor aunt might spike
“But it was just a shtick,
No harm could flick,
From you it’s quite unlike.”

There was a man who lived in Britain
Whose words of rhyme sounded of not
He played with a wasp
Who wasn’t a hornet
Leaving us stung in his hive of wit

What a fun limerick story
Of a guy and gal gone hoary
They went to the beach
But gave a speech
Of “I do” in all its glory

Your footless story was such a laugh
I hope I never walk on my calf
A trimmed lawn is nice
But I’ll stay off the ice
And find some professional staff

Ah, I remember reading Lysistrata
The poor men struck like piñatas
If women they crave
Surely they’ll cave
But in Greece a handsome man was not persona non grata.

I hope I never wear those Depends
But who knows when it all ends
If I get a little hyper
And must change my diaper
I hope we’ll all stay friends

Glenn, what stories of warts and booze
What’s the use of playing a ruse?
We pretend to be nice
When we all have the vice
And if you snooze you lose

Ah, that seven-year blues
When your baby goes out for a cruise
She may be bored
And picks up a sword
But I just hope you know whose

Two great limericks you served
The pictures were great and unreserved
And though she was running
I think it was cunning
To say her suitors were perved

Your verse flows light in tune
Like listening to wind at noon
Your girl without spine
Really did shine
I’d like to listen again soon

Your words, a funny sketch
To eat the pages she fetched
If I did that too
I know I’d be through
And soon I would want to retch

Your verse was so upbeat
Staying positive is such a feat
When life gets wound
It’s easy to go down
So that’s why your words are a treat

His series was well discussed
He wrote with verve
So perfectly served

Skillful little observations
Like notes on trains at stations
With words that flow
Your poems do show
The mind and its varied creations

The first and almost the last
What you encompass is vast
Your mafia was best
I read it with zest
And all the poor guy got was a blast

Who comes to see when it’s not Halloween

Man, those lyrics are sick
But hey, I knew before the click
Your victims are numb
So I promise to be mum
But I’d better run away quick!
Just kidding, love your play with the hardcore theme!

When she pees on the mat I screech
No matter what I say
She makes me wanna pray

Ah, what a nice bit of fairy tale
Those stories that never grow stale
I like the little riding hood

Unless you’re in a gingerbread house with ale

Your lyrics really flowed well
So I think Rosemary’s a belle
In Gay Paree
I hope you see
Your lyrics could be sung by Adele

For this it seems you have a yen
You said it was clean
So now I want seen
The dirty one hiding about the bend
