There once was a mushroom named Mark
He took his lady for a stroll in the park
She had a twinkle in her eye
And said, "You are a really fungi"
And then they were both eaten by a lark.
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

the limerick's feet per each line,
We count two in between

There was a faith healer from Deal
Who said, "Althrough pain isn't real,
if I sit on a  pin, and it punctures my skin,
I dislike what I fancy I feel."

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

In limerick I once hid a meme,
which I thought twas a beaut of a gem,
but when read by my peers
I was left with my tears
Cause it wasn't a meme-gem to them.

There once was a man from Peru
Who fell asleep in a canoe.
He dreamed of Venus
and played with his penis,
and woke up with a handful of goo.

With pineal, fnord and the Apple,
do young children of Eris oft' grapple.
They see twenty threes
floating on the breeze
and think that their card makes them Papal

But, they learn (or they don't), it depends
on how often we stick them with pins
To prod them to think
beyond the game 'sink'      <------------- (EDIT thx to Darth Cupcake!)
to where thinking for oneself begins.

Like Children, they laugh with delight
at the jokes and the grayfaces plight
Some may snarl, "You dummy,
Those old jokes aren't funny!"
And I suppose that in some sense they're right.

So the words of the foolish and wise,
intermingle in Discordian eyes
And in some search of Truth,
the goal stays aloof,
and we simply don't know where it lies.

Then Eris, in her delight,
I'm sure enjoys a good fight,
We may get Top Billin'
When we pick on Her Chil'en
But even good boxers aren't bright.

Yeah, Rat, I am totally digging on your limericks. They're loltastic!

For better rhythm, though, I'd suggest changing that line to "beyond the game 'sink'" just to fit the meter a little more closely.

Otherwise, these are awesome. :lol:

"In circuits", did Leary once say,
"I can model the most likely way,
that people will act
though it may not be fact...
it seems rather useful today."

The first circuit imprints when you're born,
and you're hungry and alone and forlorn,
You'll learn flee or fight,
(if Leary is right)
when you're treated with love or with scorn.

Circuit two determines the way,
that territory will come into play,
Are you bottom or top,
will you fight, will you flop,
In short are you hunter or prey?

And the third of the circuits is said,
to help you map out your head
in symbol and sign,
as bound up with time
And that's how ideas can spread

Society and sex it would seem,
fall into the fourth circuits stream.
If you like it rough,
or you like to be tough,
or covered in cherries and cream.

And after, perhaps there are more,
than circuits one, two, three and four,
but the next quatrain it seems,
is of dubious means,
Since he was tripping his balls 'cross the floor.

In Limericks, there isn't a sin,
so my thanks, dear RHWN!
for this forum thread,
we can post till we're dead.
I think that this forum is WIN!

But not like that sad waste of time,
in the Pun House where nary a rhyme,
can be seen or heard,
just the twist of a word
and we all know that Punning's a crime!
