Jett reads all the rules before playing games

Jett reads all the rules before playing games
That way he makes sure his answers aren't lame

 

[mamasota]

Jett reads all the rules before playing games
That way he makes sure his answers aren't lame
Looks like he made a moose come

 

[stickygirl]

Jett reads all the rules before playing games
That way he makes sure his answers aren't lame
Looks like he made a moose come
Look at this rhythm, what have we done?!


is there a Sonnets thread?

 

[WetBiMoose]

Jett reads all the rules before playing games
That way he makes sure his answers aren't lame
Looks like he made a moose come
Look at this rhythm, what have we done?!
And the Limericks thread set him aflame!


Let's start one

Now Jett's so hot he's on fire

 

[weespanner]

Now Jett's so hot he's on fire
That heat just makes him perspire

 

[37_ttej]

Now Jett's so hot he's on fire
That heat just makes him perspire
'Tis sad, but true
I'm wet with 'man dew'

 

[weespanner]

Now Jett's so hot he's on fire
That heat just makes him perspire
'Tis sad, but true
I'm wet with 'man dew'
I'll toss you into the dryer

For everyone's info - and I stress this is not a criticism - a limerick has the following form:

1. Five lines in the rhyming pattern A-A-B-B-A
2. A consistent number of syllables per line of X-X-5-5-X, where X is traditionally 7, but also commonly 8 or 9.
3. The metre is nominally iambic, i.e. the initial stress is on the second syllable of the line, not the first.

That said, this is the PG, not the holier-than-thou Poetry Forum (where you get crucified for prosodic inconsistencies), so feel free to post however you like. Hell, I break the 'rules' all the time!

After all, our primary aim is to have a bit of fun!

Oh, and ...

4. You add one line at a time to the rhyme. NEVER more than one.

Except for me. I do what I want.

Now Jett's so hot he's on fire

This load has a pungent smell

 

[weespanner]

This load has a pungent smell
Maybe we should wash it as well

 

[AbsintheFather]

This load has a pungent smell
Maybe we should wash it as well
Or maybe not, after all some people might prefer that on occasion

 

[37_ttej]

This load has a pungent smell
Maybe we should wash it as well
This bit needs a scrub

 

[weespanner]

This load has a pungent smell
Maybe we should wash it as well
This bit needs a scrub
Well step in the tub
I'll rinse it until it looks swell

There once was a whore from Kentucky

 

[weespanner]

There once was a whore from Kentucky
Who considered herself unlucky

 

[BrokenRomantic]

There once was a whore from Kentucky
Who considered herself unlucky
She'd not gotten laid

 

[weespanner]

There once was a whore from Kentucky
Who considered herself unlucky
She'd not gotten laid
Or had blowjobs paid

 

[munch2much]

There once was a whore from Kentucky
Who considered herself unlucky
She'd not gotten laid
Or had blowjobs paid
Yet her fanny was smelly and mucky

"I'm hung like a donkey!" he boasted out loud

 

[stickygirl]

"I'm hung like a donkey!" he boasted out loud
It swung like a gibbet and drew quite a crowd

 

[BrokenRomantic]

"I'm hung like a donkey!" he boasted out loud
It swung like a gibbet and drew quite crowd
It lifts hundred pounds

 

[stickygirl]

"I'm hung like a donkey!" he boasted out loud
It swung like a gibbet and drew quite a crowd
It lifts hundred pounds
But drags on the ground

 

[BrokenRomantic]

"I'm hung like a donkey!" he boasted out loud
It swung like a gibbet and drew quite a crowd
It lifts hundred pounds
But drags on the ground
And all his girlfriends screamed, "You're much too endowed!"
