Welcome

-This is my page where I intend to share my thoughts and ideas. Some of what I post is like the paintings of René Magritte (there is no meaning intended in them). Some things I post will hopefully spark a thought in you that will lead to something good. I have stories, essays, poems, et cetera. I hope you enjoy what I've written.
-More important than that though, is what you think. Please, I encourage you to share your thoughts. Leave comments after each post to tell what's going on in your head. (click on the word "comments" below the post to do this) Don't worry too much about making sense or sounding sane, just share whatever thoughts are passing through your brain. You can go ahead and be completely random if you like. You don't even have to agree with everything you say. This is a place where your thoughts are welcome.
-You can also read comments that others have left, and leave comments that relate to those comments. Have a discussion. When you leave a comment, make sure the "e-mail follow up comments to..." box is checked so that you'll be updated if anyone else has a comment regarding the thoughts you share.

Early Limericks

I was looking through some of my writing and I found these Limericks that I wrote. These are basically the first ones I've ever written, and I haven't written many more sense. I ought to try my hand at some more.
Hey, why don't you try writing some? The pattern is an aabba rhyme scheme where the third and fourth lines are generally shorter.

There was an old man yesterday
who was sitting on a log at the bay.
The log rolled
and his pants got soild
so he won't be there next monday.

There was a mad scientist
talking to an insane priest
they each shouted
'till both pouted.
Neither came to the logicians feast.

A lass without her own house
was taunted by a little mouse
That's quite rude
and very crude
to be so bold, a thing high as a louse.

Lost in a maze of corn
a woman was feeling worn
so she stopped
and there popped
and thus a puzzled child was born.

In a good mans dizzy skull
the world seemed to be made of wool.
His head on the brink,
he said, "I can't think!"
So a sponge gave him a headful.

Looking for a meadow lark
a dog suddenly began to bark.
It had found
on the ground
a sneaky smurf in the dark.

There was a man wearing blue
who asked if anyone knew
where we went
to get so bent
and he got his answer from you.

Sitting in a five foot arm chair
sat a man who never would dare.
"It's safe" he said,
so at home he staid.
'till his seat fell hard on his hair.

There's a yellow chimpanzee.
It never was much bother to me,
But Bill
had his fill.
Bill's such a stingy bannanna tree.

There was a man in a red cap
who aimed a bear to trap
so he got a dart
thinking himself smart
but all he got was a bit of tree sap.

Some Limericks I tried to write
and found that it took some might
for though I could
they weren't as good
as some of us would have liked.

You may have noticed a rhym
on some occasion, or at some time
that didn't quit fit,
and gave you a fit,
caus technicaly it's "identity" to say "teatime."

In the greatest MMORPG
that I ever in my life did see
a haiku dungion
deserves acclaimation
and yet the limerick one escaped me.

On too common an occasion
the rock escapes abbrasion
by sitting
not fitting
as the brains of a legion.

  1. The Limerick is said to have been invented in a small Celtic pub in Ireland. The pub was in the town of Limerick, thus I have written the following lines in honer of its origins.

    There was an old town called limerick
    On a map no bigger then a pinprick
    Lude stories were told
    Often quite bold
    This kept the bar atmosphere rhythmic

    ... or the atmosphere could be

    comic, Celtic, gastric, septic, slapstick, or even zoic as the original Limericks are said to have all been fairly dirty and always funny.

    Now for a Limerick that I didn't write:

    The limerick packs laughs anatomical
    In space that is quite economical,

    But the good ones I've seen
    So seldom are clean,

    And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

  2. After reading them my thoughts began to sound like limericks. Keep writing Sebastian.

  3. Yes, it's like when you start thinking in rhyme after reading Dr.Seuss.

What's going through your mind after reading that? Write it here, along with anything else that maybe almost at least vaguely relevant.
