I want to introduce the hamsters in my book with various descriptions....My first choice is through Limericks.

I have gone through every limerick post to date
and have four that I definately plan to use...
one each for specifically George, Jamie, Eddie and Curtis. The four that I chose all started with...There once was a ....

and they are all basically nice.

I guess what I'm saying is I need more for the other six houseguests that aren't mean.

Please post them in the Favorite archives...

thanks all

Kearie,

In short, NO. Bad idea.

Let folks email them to you. You aren't alone in this book thing, remember Jade? It's a sad thing, but anything posted here is likely to wind up there. I personally would rather =you= have anything I come up with.

But then again, where does that leave the rest of us who would love to read them?

Anyone else have any ideas?

How could we forget Jade?

I think it we be nice if we had to have a password to get in at all and then we wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that.

You probably saw this when I made a thread for it yesterday. But I can't resist keeping it from slipping into oblivion:


The laughing, crying, smiling three:
Curtis Josh Eddie, all winners be
They got their loot
and we got the boot
But is that fair, Eddie McGee?
* * *
Now our Big Brother show is done
We know who lost, we know who won
We may be sad
or even mad
But you must admit it was fun!
* * *
Now it's time to open the windows
Take out the garbage, fluff the pillows
Bring order to your life,
End the on-line strife,
and wish well your BBclub fellows!

Kearie it would help to know the ones you have chosen to get an idea of the kind of limericks you are looking for.

Everybody's writing a book, it's true
It seems to be the thing to do
Stealing a post
Is what they boast
But I write my own -- Shouldn't you?


... sorry couldn't resist that one! :)

Okay I have chosen.....

There once was a man with green hair
whose intellect was quite rare
some called him nuts
others said he had guts
but all agreed Tre-sa dint play fair.
(about George by Puttergirl)

There entered the house a beauty queen
all day long in the mirror she would preen.
They called her Hollywood
because they thought that they should
You see, her entire purpose was to be seen.
(about Jamie by puttergirl)

As for my fav-o-rite, Ed
who gets grief for things that he's said
His language is rough
don't like it that's tough
If he has to he'll talk to his bed.
(about Eddie by Soweird)

There once was a lady named Cass,
who was all about honor and class.
Whenever there was grief,
she'd hang on to her belief:
The peacemaker she was, in the cast.
(about Cassandra by Digilady, Cat LeDevic)

There once was a houseguest named Curtis
whose looks were so fine that it hurt us!
he's dressed to the nines
My he's looking so fine
that handsome young lawyer named Curtis.
(about Curtis by Canucknucklehed)

I plan to use other ones like the few Ocean Is. put above in a different place. Right now I just want to introduce the object of our addiction....

Thanks Toots. I don't think password protection would work for a board this size, as Neil might agree. Twould but piss folks off.

It's a shame that there's =always= one, know what I mean?

BTW I sent Kearie a (probably lousy) limerick. I really should post the thing here... twould kill any book it wound up in! <snort>

Of course once you get me started, it's hard to stop. Please knock me unconscious now.

There once was a man named Will-Mega
Who liked fighting a man with one Leg-a
He'd sit on his ass
To write checks he could cash
But not for half a mill at Las Vega'

There once was a girl named Britanny
Some said she was just a bit Twittany
Theresa voted her out
And Brit gave a shout
"Let me back in or I'm throwing a Fittany!"

There once was a woman named Karen
Who liked to ask "Why was I marryin'?
That is so not right!
She would say with a fright
Please vote me out, if you could be so carin'!

There once was a woman named Jordan
Who, everyone knows, kept her clothes on
The producers frustrated,
'Cause the show was low rated
But she got even with them on Dave Letterman!

Here's one modified to be more "pc":

There once was a girl named Britanny
Whose eyelids were just a bit glittery
When she got voted out
Lil' Brit gave a shout
Let me back in and I'll dye my hair silvery!

Kearie, I wish you all the best luck in the world and much success with your book project. I remember when you asked posters about giving you permission to use their messages. Unlike *JADE888*, you did it the right way. I know the effort you will have to make to be successful...so once again good luck.

kearie, i posted the 4 you need on another thread.

caution: make sure the beats are right, the ones by putter, although good, need to be re-worked to fit into the limerick cadence.

I saw yours Laf and I thank you so very much for the ones you send....However, I will probably only use two of them....

Don't be sad hon, come here and let me make you feel better. I snuggle real well. I can cuddle you in the love bed.
