But the boys, unaware, pressed up closer......
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

But the boys, unaware, pressed up closer......
Ennis as always moved in like a bull dozer
And brushed Jack's hat to the floor.

                    He kissed him by the door

~  A Lymerick Review  ~
by special request


A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict meter (beat pattern).
Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Limericks have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 of Limericks have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other.  Here are good examples from this thread!

There once was a young man named Jack,
Who was pretty good in the sack,
He said with a grin,
as he wiped off his chin,
That his bud used to aim for his back!

Milli & Dave have no rhythm,
Their timing is sheer cataclysm
But funny as hell,
Their point they do sell,
I certainly ain't gonna dis 'em!

This limerick business is straining.
Just like Ray, I feel quite like complaining!
With no rhythm and rhyme
This ain’t worth not a dime.
Yet it is, one must say, entertaining!

Thanks Laura!  Good review.  ;D

Btw, who said David and I have no rhythm?.. I'm guessing it was Ray.. lol.. Ah, good times!  ;)

Shall I start a new one?

Lil' Bobby was cute but he was a brat
Whose mama wouldn't allow him a cat.
So he whined and cried,

Til her nerve she denied

Til her nerve she denied
so she got him a stuffed one, that's that!


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!
