What's the Difference between a Limerick
and a Lime Ricky?
April is poetry month. So in honor of my Irish grandad Patrick, who truly had the gift of gab and always appreciated a good limerick (dirty or otherwise), my offering for today is a limerick I composed recently:
my resourceful friend Kate doesn't blanch.
Instead she quite stares,
her bright eyes focused there,
'til the flasher performs a scram dance.
Feel free to chime in with your own limerick, or a haiku if that's more your mood.

Dirty limericks
have a place up in Heaven -
God wants ye te know.
I would look
at a penis if
you show one.
I just love penises, and well, thought you should now.
Good talk.
I'd say you have a talent for poetry.
I didn't realize April was poetry month. I'm going to try and come up with a haiku that expresses my feelings about tax time.
If I can do it without using the f-word too many times I'll post it here.
It has been proven that I have no spontaneous knack for limericks. I will, however, gladly spew forth a haiku (or two).
Spring's here for today
yesterday it fucking snowed
I so hate Utah.
(well...it was 5-7-5, but it was pretty lame. that's where the "or two" comes in)
Lime rickies taste so
good to me in hot summer
limericks always rock.
strike two. Oh well. :)
Yay for all the haiku, both composed and in process. I'm up for a haiku bitching about tax time.
As Esereth's shows, haiku don't have to be 5-7-5, though they can be. The reason has to do with syllables being different in Japanese. (It was all explained to me by a haiku expert in our area, the editor of Modern Haiku no less, but I don't entirely get it since I speak no Japanese.)
I think you get extra credit for genital references. (Or was that seasonal references? Either way.) And any allusion to alcohol, too, definitely.
