There was Cambridgefox from Cambridge

Who would wait every day in the same hedge

Until that wiley fox

Leapt out on Ultravox

And yelled, "I hate your leader singer, you're lame Midge!"


:D

i like the little twist at the end of that Trav  :thumbup:

 

I based it, like all good narrative, on true life events!

There was  PM called Cameron

 Wanted a scapegoat to put blame on

 MP's? but he said nay

 Bankers? but they said no way

Guess who was blamed. Just have one.

 

A bit wordy maybe

De de de de de de de da

De de de de de de de dah

de de de de de

de de de de de

de de de de de de de dah

 

 

Just saying folks - being a de out on one line here and there can often be worked around, but some are just NASTY!

 

I am the poetry nazi!

Someone said MP's but he said nay

Another said bankers but they said no way

So one guess who was blamed by Cameron.

It's escaped goat so I think this limerick is a bit of a damp squid.

Postman Trav was a bloke in his prime

The service he gave , quite sublime

They've sold him  off cheap

The rewards they'll all reap

We've been ripped off time after time.

 

 

 

 

Sorry if it doesn't follow that "de de dah" ruling enough Trav , but we lose our rhythm a bit as we get older   :(

Well he's clearly spent all day on the sauce,

Yet again, he's on his high horse,

They gave some cents,

At the taxpayers expense

It's a shame he can't join the workforce.

Dunno about prime - and apparently we're striking on my day off :( I'd have preferred my day off to be the day AFTER the strike (when there's a huge backlog :( ) At least I won't loose any pay! (Though I DID last time we striked (struck?) and it was on my day off!)

 

As for the de de dah, that fits. It's fine to stretch syllabels out or compress two into one where it works, but some of the limericks were starting to get a bit...

 

De de de de

de de de de de de

de de de de de de de de dah

de de de dah

de de de de de de

 

Or variations on a theme, It was still poetry, just not limericks.

 

VE HAF VAYS OV MAKING YOU VYME!

Though my syllables are always lined up the neatest

And my rhymes only the very best and the sweetest

Though I get on my knees

There's still no appease

Of lyrical abuse from limerick elitists

A man flew to Japan in a jiffy,

Cartoon network gave him a stiffy,

The Queen on his screen

Was only thirteen,

Now his bedsheets are terribly whiffy.

There once was a FT poster name Thracian

In every thread he was gracing them

Commenting on news

With contraversial views

And now you can't find any trace of him

 

It kind of works.

I'd like to know about Thracian

I ask with some trepidation 

He was often verbose 

 Long winded with prose 

Has anyone got information

He can be found on a market stall

Selling gold and silver to one 'n' all

Only top quality gear

Although some is quite dear

He'll tell market history rise and fall.

Thank's  for the speedy reply

I'm pleased Thrace is still getting by

Flogging stuff on his stall  

To ol' tom cobley and all

Now he's del boy in my mind's eye 

 

 

i don't think i've got the de de de dahs right , but it's all i can think of
