Civ3 Limericks

[Chieftess]

If the moderators see your plan
They just might think about a ban
So if everyone would just please...
Stick to the topic of Civ3
Or this'll be closed by someone named Gan

There once was a girl from Paree (paris)
Who played civilization 'till three
The trouble bagan
With the Germans again
When Berlin would flip She'd say "Oui, oui"

CFC is a popular place,
So many new threads here to face,
So many newbies have questions
And well meaning suggestions
This thread is getting harder to trace!

I want to recount a quick story
Of a Civ game that did not reap glory
I tried planting a spy
And proceeded to die
When the ensuing invasion got gory.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

With great joy I shall always remember,
That rainy evening in early december,
With a limerick I coasted
To my three thousandth posted
Next stop: to be a top 25 member!

I must apologise for thread bumping,
But limerick fun was surely slumping,
This gem won't be lost,
Revival at any cost,
Back into ryhmes, I am jumping!


OK, it's been a while,
the limericks will get better!

 

[JollyRoger]

There once was a girl from Paree
Who sought tribute from Germany
When she went sado
Poor Biz went maso
Saying "Hail to the Saint, Baby!"

 

[JollyRoger]

To Cath the Great I was wed
Gaining RoP to her bed
But I realized too late
My male-Lewinsky-like fate
Weighty matters pressing the thoughts in my head

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

A poster like me totally dreads,
The action which will clean their heads,
I'm off on holiday,
And there's nothing to say,
But that I've unsubscribed from all theads!!!!

 

[Raijer]

It seems Santa, the children would learn,
Was MIA with the toys for which they all yearned
Frozen at his North Pole PC
Locked in a game of Civ 3
Not even Santa can play just one turn

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

I was cleaning my threads yet again,
When I found this blast from way back when,
Before I went "Off Topic"
Where the arguments are myopic
Now I'm back in the forum: Civ3 Gen

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Sorry to bother you all,
And bring up this thread, to apall,
but again here I find you
it is just to remind you
I've now got more posts than Thunderfall!

 

[Flak]

Back from Off Topic again
To my old home C3Gen
*Gasp* my post count
The numbers, they mount
Soon my own avatar will I win!

 

[Jimjam Jones]

I'm sure Shakespeare, Wordsworth and even Dr. Seuss are all spinning in their graves like jet turbines after you guys have so soiled the fine art of poetic language

There's day when things of old
come back - that's worth a pot of Gold
but while I talk of this
let me deal with my friend Biz
having money makes me feel bold......

So now that I 'took care of him'
- a war that was more of a whim -
let ma say about this thread
if the FAQ is my bread
this here is my mental gym.

 

[Brewster]

Damn! There is some funny stuff in here.

My first copy of civ 3 was loaned
My friends and co-workers just groaned
I crashed and I burned
Till I finally learned
You just can't play when you're stoned

So I settled on playing while drinking
And I know what you all are thinking
I passed out at my desk
Woke up to a mess
My mighty empire was shrinking

(never fall asleep on the spacebar)

So now that you know my plight
I trolled civfan all night
Now I have skills
And am racking up kills
Thank you for setting me right!


Keep this thread alive

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Funny stuff brewster! Welcome to CFC...

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Brewster is the right kind of newbie
the one that is rare on this thread here
he comes to this site
his postcount is light
but his poetry sweeter than strongbeer....



(yes, the last line IS influenced by my current state of mind )

 

[CivCube]

Oh no! the thread is brought to shame
As a new poster is brought into the game
Mr. CivCube rhymes with a grunt
His mind racks for another syllable to hunt
Shouts he, "The Pentameter is not my dame!"

But what am I talking about
Civ 3 is this very topic's clout
Therefore Jolly Roger and Raijer I shall thrash
(Not to mention that Sultan Bhargash)
By making excellent limericks without a doubt

"So what can I do for ye, Mister...?"
"Bismarck," gruffly replied the Herr.
"An MPP I am lacking
For Rome am I attacking
And I'd love to see your troops there."

"Nay," said I, "what folly
To send my empire on your Death Trolley
This action I simply cannot implement
My troops with your regiment?
Bah, away with thee, and your stupid Polly!"

Well, he attacked me the next day
Alas! that he should have the hay
To send all those Infantry in crawlin'
Know what I found after my capital had fallen?
That very bird! "Come what may! Come what may! Come what may...!"

Congratulations on the posts say we,
Now get back to playing Civ 3,
Peacemonger PBEM is waiting,
How long is it taking,
The first turn only just reached me!

EDIT: I have since played it and sent it on.
