Well, since the Rapture was a bust (except for Little Hawk's dog), and we're not going to have the opportunity to escape boredom by enduring five months of Tribulation, I thought it might be time for a diversion of a different sort. So, I've refreshed this old thread.

Just so you won't have to go to the first post to read the "rules", here they are:

One person writes the first line of a limerick and passes it on to the next person who writes the next line.

Pretty simple, isn't it?

To start things out...

A Mudcatter named Rapparee...

The preceding two contributers seem to differ on how to stress "Rapparee". Let's try it both ways:

Once invited a lady for tea.

Reminds me of

3. It seems that they tend
4. To come to an end
5. Quite suddenly!

Invited a lady for tea.

And exposed all her charms,
He said, "Please take your hand off my knee."

On Mudcat there are intellectual,
With rhyme and rhythm ineffectual.
But with some hard work,
And with never a shirk,
Their Limericks could be somewhat sexual.
