Limerick contest

[frequent]

You can't ryme 'arsenal' can you. Disappointed.

There is an old codger called arsenal
Also known as our pernicious barnacle
His role carcinogenic
His mien fibrinogenic
His importance most certainly marginal

It doesn't quite trip off the tongue but then, neither do you

[arsenal]

Excellent. Bloody good effort.

[Smiles]

If I was asked (I haven't been) I would give the win to Arsenal. Both his attempts are slightly more limericksian than Frequency ... nice try but the sweet smoothness is not quite there. Too many splinters to catch my cashmere.
Gerefan started this, but needs work.

Best single use of wordsmithism : "pernicious barnacle"
Best use of a city name who's claim to fame is 'armpit of the world': "Manitoba"
Best use of the word which is also the handle of a Member here: "Snotty"

[DoubleDutch]

The "So" at the beginning of the last line is also superfluous and again an example of the tendency of uneducated people to begin sentences with "So" when it doesn't add anything to the meaning, as in "So I was reading SGT one day".

This is why SGT is such a wonderful community, it is fun yet educational, something you don't often see.
I did not know 'so' is one of those parasitic words. I shall try and avoid it, English can be hard. Frequent, you make me want to be a better English speaker!

[arsenal]

It's irritatingly compulsive when you get started. Like crosswords I suppose.

We smiled at the post made by Smiles.
He said mine was the best and by miles.
So I've penned this short ditty.
Which is really quite shitty.
So Scat Boy can post about piles.

[scottish-guy]

Can I enter the limerick contest?

There's a mid-70's codger called Arsenal
Whose outpourings are now beyond farcical.
From morning to night
He invents utter shite
From a brain that's the size of a particle.

[arsenal]

It's true Scottish Guy ain't well read.
Nor especially bright in the head.
Barging his way in.
And making a din.
So desperate to join in the thread.

[arsenal]

Our freaky and Scatty are chums.
Sharing Viagra and old saggy bums.
They're both rather thick.
With a limp floppy dick.
And neither can do basic sums.

[snotface]

A female sex tourist called Marjorie
Once offed a barboy at a larger fee,
Just to sit and chat
About this and that.
Ha! You thought she wanted him carnally.

[arsenal]

Sorry Mr S but the idea is to use a limerick to say something about another member. Like this.

Our member called Francois is Gaulish.
Like me he finds Frequent quite ghoulish.
He loves Fruits de Met.
And pommes boulangere.
But his favourite is meatloaf and goulash.
