This game was started on another forum I contribute to. The basic idea is to post a limerick and then to give the first line for a limerick to be composed by the next poster. The next guy writes his limerick - using the first line given and gives a new first line to the next. This continues until we get bored.

Here goes.

A fellow called Nir once suggested
a game where he promptly requested:
"send a limerick - it's fine
then add one more line
more time need not be invested..."

and the new first line of the next limerick:

The average spectator's a fool...

"The average spectator's a fool,"
Thinks the magi who swears he is cool.
But the attitude shows,
And the audience crows,
"Good Grief, what a freaking as* tool!"

next limerick:

I'm tired of Twisting the Aces,
for the same unappreciative faces,
and as I reflect,
its the mirror I suspect,
I should try some more crowded places.

who married a girl who danced Gogo
she thought, "what could rhyme?
for a limerick this time"
A magician they call - Ali Bongo!

Attempting to do it while blind.
But the dude didn't know
Of my years of Cointreau--
So there was nothing there he could find!

Jack the above was just fantastic...


Two rabbits, a duck and a bear
were materialized out of thin air
by a magi named nick
who had quite a shtick
but the secret he just wouldn't share...

My top change is awfully bad,
My bottom deal equally sad
My wife only groans
To leave it alone,
When I pocket the cards, we're both glad!

Then one day he said

I really want some corn on the cob.

In case I inherit your bum,
When you are bent,
It's like 2 hippos in a tent,
And when you stand it blocks out the sun.

and George and Corona are gruff,
It could be construed,
that a limerick should be rude,
enough nicey politey stuff!

I'd rather see another card trick

He won't try again very soon.
I made him bleed and cough,

and jokers who like riding trikes
I know it's not fair
but you'd better beware

Nice one, Nir!

"I got an invisible deck,
It's ordinary--here, you inspect.
They've dropped on the floor--"
You've heard that before
Unoriginal, yes, what the heck.

They laughed so hard,
They dropped half their cards,
And claimed I was out of my tree.

one could ask of his friends
is it because
his brain is a fuzz
or will he chime in at the end?

The taliban had a card trick
an elmsley count and a flick
the cards went blank
the gun went bang
every magician called rick...was shot down dead.

Thanks, I'm here all year.

he was doing quite well,
til he slipped and fell,
on a discarded peeling, he died.

Have their own individual flaws,
Osama has his fun,
With semtex and guns,
Whereas Santa likes whiskey and wh*res.

hasn't much hopping to do
so he sits on his stool

who hop till they end up in stew.

And so, had to live with the stigma

IMHO Best limerickists (did I just invent a word or what?) are by far landmark (Jack) and magicgeorge (the one with santa claus was absolutely hilarious)
we can have a running vote as we keep on posting.

Twenty five is the seven of hearts
said Simon as he ordered the cards
see - I use Juan's
but they both end their runs
with the 9D on their charts

(gave myself some leeway there...)
