Limerick thread *crossed out* Rhyme Thread

Here comes the limmerick thread
If you're not in - you're dead
It really can mess with your head
Was what my ancestor once said
But he's long dead so he won't get mad
And I get to own this thread

what exactly is a lammerick
can someone tell me what it is
i really want to know

 

There was a pert lass from Madras,
Who had a remarkable ass,
Not round and pink,
As you might think,
But was grey, had big ears, and ate grass.

are these lemericks supposed to ryme
is is this a crime
i really need to know
for i can hang up a chime

 

What are the rules for this little game?
I don't find it very lame.

 

dont ask me
i just ate a bee
i dont know if i am doing this right
i will just have to kill a kite

 

Look at the one I posted. Use follow that form, and you'll be all right. Basically, it's:
- 5 lines
- 1st and 2nd lines rhyme with each other
- 3rd and 4th lines rhyme with each other
- 5th line rhymes with the 1st and 2nd.

It's an A-A-B-B-A rhyming structure. Then just read mine to get a feel for the phrasing.

 

Is rhyming different from limmericks?

 

*smacks forehead*

 

lt me do this right
or i will have to fight
let me see
ooohhhh i think i have the right key
or mabey it is not right

 

:???:

 

i hope u know that if u smack your head it could really hurt

 

I think he knows.

 

that is y he is not talking right now

 

I'm not limited to one style
I'll do whatever you inquire
I'm making this worthwhile
And then I'm putting it down on a quire
It might not be limerick
But it still will be glimmering
Competing with me doesnt last a while
As you all know - Resistance is Futile.

 

hey milo i dont think that u said the right rule because Ioo made this thread and he is not typing what u said

 

Oh yeah, silly me... I just posted the actual definition of a limerick. The form that's been used for hundreds of years.

 

Yeah and im saying that ill post whatever I want here. anything that fits any nice size and rhymes

 

i guess he is right since he is the one who made the post he gets to make the rules(that is what the rules r)

 

Ahhh... Now the title fits the thread.
