I should have organized a get-together for the friends for Limerick Day! It'd have been hilarious and so so fun. Limericks and anti-limericks would be thrown up galore. I know of just the right 10 people to make a party to pit wit and skills! Drunken debauchery, literally.
Dear Dawnie blew me away with her skills over msn. On-the-spot creativity. Not bawdy, but quite cute! I gave her 3 words- lollipop, rainy days, hot chocolate. Here's what she came up with in 5 seconds:
On rainy days I like my chocolate hot,
Mix it in with your lollipop.
Twirl it in with cinnamon and spice.
I guarantee you something nice.
If you don't agree, I'll doff my top. ©
I was duly impressed. I can't, for the life of me, make anything rhyme. Writing in iambic pentatmeter is no sweat. But I royally suck at writing to rhyming schemes. The second set consisted of pink, bear, whisky.
Said the bear to the whiskey, I do like your tone,
Your taste is rich, not to mention your colour alone.
To call you just merely a drink,
Would be like saying that I was pink.
But to take more than a sip, would mean tomorrow I must atone. ©
Mind you, she was rushing out for lunch with her mom. Between pulling on her clothes and pee break, she came up with limericks just like that. "Magic." I said. She gleefully announced, "It's my party trick!" and gave me a parting gift:
According to Imp, today is Limerick Day.
And far be it for me to doubt what she has to say.
So I sit here and write her a piece of fluff.
No Illiyad or Chaucer or Beowulf,
But one to briing her a laugh if it may. ©
If she had merrily spouted anymore of these saucy lines, I'd have prostrated myself in complete deference to her superior intelligence.

This gf must be quite a character, love her intellectual humour!
okay. she's good. i need a minute or 2 at least to compose one that's sorta funny.
u must make her write bawdy stuff! that's a proper limerick! hahah.
Haha - seriously it's the sign of a misspent childhood :) I love limericks!
i feel that my life is a laugh.
okay, outta topic.
and yes, your friend is really good.
nuttyjas: she is. absolutely a gem. i always love talking to her.
jazzgal: HEH. still way better than me.
meteor: hmm. u can try! see if she'll bite..!
dawn: it's exactly the sort of skill i'd want my children to possess. eloquence, wit and intellect. they should be 'mis-spending' time to learn all these than doing useless stuff like playing computer games and living in silo.
mistipurple: don't let anything get u down. i thank u on her behalf.
Wow. She's good!!
She is really good and talented!! in between changing of clothes and getting herself dolled up, she is able to come out with all these, amazing! =p
Impy is exaggerating - it wasn't 5 seconds :) There was no dolling up either :)
As for a bawdy one I can't really think of a subject right now, so here's the best I can do :-
I sit here to write this text,
pondering the prevalence of sex.
A ditty about a fuck?
Well, they're shit out of luck!
My morals, if not my meter, aren't lax!
moo: she is!
elaine: heheh. she's very fast. we're usually out in and out of shower and out of house within 20minutes.
dawn: OH DEAR> *roll eyes*
Sorry - I have to admit I've never been good with the bawdy (and I know it!). since it's a party trick, I'll take three words and try what I can with them!
