The Official Off-Topic Limerick Thread!

[CurtSibling]

Hullo.

Skull-headed Enemy Ace here!

Personally I think that the OT forum feels like the ruins of war-torn Europe in the aftermath of WW2.
So to increase the lagging laughter level, I propose a funny limerick thread!

SirJethro already created a highly funny and successful CIV3 based thread, over on (oddly enough) CIV3 General forums.

Now it is OT’s turn to show we can laugh and improve the grim mood.

Just so you know, a Limerick is a silly but amusing mini-ditty,
as popularised by British Literary genius and madman, Edward Lear.

Here is a fine limerick that shows the art in it’s classic style, made by one of the masters, the Sultan!

The thing that I don't understand,
Is how on Earth I became banned,
For reporting a thread,
That made me see red,
It just didn't work out like I planned.

1st and 2nd lines rhyme,
3rd and 4th lines rhyme,
And 5th line rhymes with 1st and 2nd lines.

So don’t be shy, give it a try!


Why do I see an official OT thread not posted or authorized by me, AoA, or TF? Lefty

If you are looking for limerick inspiration, you could give this Lear site a look;

It is very good.

Argument threads are making me sick,
Sometimes I feel like hurling a brick,
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry,
Instead I'll let out an audible sigh,
Someone please close, those stupid threads quick!

 

[G-Man]

Oh, oh, I'm so sad
I cried till my eyes turned red
Like when you cut an onion
It's all because of Simon
Even for newbies, raping is bad.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Okay...

Damn it, all the threads are on Iraq!
At least the lakers are winning with Kobe and shaq...
And I own a PC, not a mac!
The father of the Quantum theory is Max Planck...


Wait, I have another one!!



Civfanatics is cool as hell
Even if philippe can't spell..
But who cares, he is from Belgium
The land of Steaks made medium
Though, I like my steaks rare
To the war against Iraq we all prepare!!

 

[CurtSibling]

All this endless political fighting,
Will lead to an Off Topic blighting,
Bewteen doves and warhawks,
And the soviet blocs,
Of sanity there's no sighting!

 

[IceBlaZe]

Oh CurtSibling you are so correct!
The pointless threads we should resurrect...
Too bad you live in Scotland tho,
I'll never meet you, unless you become an Israeli POW
Not to worry mate, we'll meet in heaven!
There you could fight your Messerschmidt, and lead to a safe haven.

 

[IceBlaZe]

G-Man, the man in the suit
No intelligence avaliable for this fruit
Perhaps we should make him a cake
Nah, I stil preffer a steak!

 

[test_specimen]

No other topic can be found
let's fire just another round
if inspections are bad
drop bombs on his head?
to this question we're all bound.

There once was an Enemy Ace,
who had a skull for a face.
He doesn't like the forums,
unfortunately they bore 'em.
"Not enough humor in that off-topic place."

best I could do

Thank you, thank you, I wish to dedicate the missing fifth line to all my fans world wide

Classic CFC skin, with the barbarian on the top
With his axe the heads he'll chop
Of those who aren't pleased
With the best skin there is
So their evil thoughts would stop

A lot of these limmericks stink
Would all you people please think
You do it the wrong way
Use aabba
Not something else you stupid ratfink

No offense intended

 

[philippe]

Do u wanna live forever?
Stay always toghether?
But dont cry..
You gonna die
So you could just then pull the lever!
(from abe oxeduss if you pulled a certain lever some mudokkons die )

Iceblaze, my far away friend,
To you a message I'll send,
Forget our past fights,
Let's set things to rights,
We'll fight side by side in the end!

I really must give you my thanks,
For making nice Indian tanks,
You have joined the gods,
With your civ unit-mods,
I now assault the enemy's flanks!

 

[Yoda Power]

What a fun idea
that would make me swear
that im to bad
to make a usefull chat
with somebody wich i care.

damn i really bad at this

 

[CurtSibling]

I once knew a general who was Greek,
Not known for being mild or meek,
It matters not if you like his tack,
Just know that AoA is now back,
So displease him and it's a week!


There is only one AoA.
Welcome back, general!

 

[Yoda Power]

How do i get better?
Should i send a letter?
And who should i send it too?
I dont have a clue?
No i´ll just eat some Cheddar.

In the supermarket Alex has red
His curiosity has now been fed
The papers in his aisle
Are still in denial
Saying elvis couldn't be dead

 

[CurtSibling]

In Baghdad there is a dictator,
Who wants nukes now, not later,
Men were sent by Dubya the Chief,
Who said; "Saddam we must be brief."
"Play nice, or Iraq is a crater!"

Ho ho!
