Tuesday

Avast, 'tis the Jolly Roger!

Ugh. I'm not going to be very coherent today - was up 'til about 4:00 AM this morning - stomach cramps, something I ate maybe. I've got to quit living this rock and roll lifestyle. Incoherence being the essence of madness however, it may yet lead to poetry. Perhaps a limerick contest is in order.

Therefore, continuing the gluttony for punishment, I am announcing the first ever Mad Poet Limerick Contest. Submit your limericks in the comments. Bear in mind that this is a family-friendly blog, so the normal dirty limerick (Even Issac Asimov's) is not appropriate. Double entendres, innuendoes, etc., carefully concealed enough are fine. It should take a second to make me blush (notoriously easy). With National Talk Like A Pirate day coming up on Sunday, the inclusion of pirates gets extra points. Comments will close on Sunday, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, and if anyone has actually submitted a limerick (a dicey proposition indeed), a winner will be picked, announced, and (virtually) showered with rose petals.

There was a young pirate named Porter,
Who suffered intestine disorder
Since he always felt ill
It gave him a thrill
To grant all his enemies no quarter.

Neglecting my Conflicts of Law,
I thought, this is quite the last straw!
From surfing online
I will fail in no time;
Or at least I'll be forced to withdraw.

On the lee of the isle sat Hook
Who'd decided to go for a look
He peered throuugh his glass
At the bonny fair lass,
Who danced whilst the old pirate shook

There now is a blogger named Zach
When it comes to the fudge he's no hack
Preparing it by the batch
He makes it all from scratch
Come now, Chocolate Pirates, Attack!

There once was a law student named Sue
Who loved life on the sea and rum too
So she gave up the law
And bought a macaw
And now she’s no longer sad and blue

There once was a newsman named Rather,
Who lost his good name, so I gather:
With documents fake,
Reputation at stake,
He kept on promotin’ false blather.

There was a strange man named John Kerry
Who found two rich widows to marry
But his stories ‘bout ‘Nam
Were just a big scam
And now the whole country is wary.

(both found here.)
