Silly rhymes when you have time (or anything with wordplay)

[color=#993300]So its about time I went ahead to go and make this thread,
so here I am, writing this, while laying in my bed.

Of course for some, to rhyme a line, it proves to be real' hard
But it's not some trick restricted to some expertly trained bard.

So come one come all to take a shot, show us your skill and wit
And in the case one struggles, I'll help you as you permit.
To tell the truth I must find help myself I will admit
use what's available, just have a go at it

Any thing can be written, anything at all
As long as it stays within some verse, nothing too large or small

Give me stories, give me rants of some jerk you met today
Absolutely anything; with words, go on and play

Are you okay with dirty limericks? There all I can contribute right now, haha!

[color=#993300]Anything of course! Anything will do!
Limericks, couplets, amorphous poems too!
Though do explain the limerick sort
I've never heard of such, so please do report
Such format sounds fun, I'm willing to learn
all sorts of new things, to try this I yearn.

Limericks are written in a format of five lines. The first two lines rhyme with each other and share a fairly close syllable count, usually not deviating by more than one or two, three or four at the most. The third and fourth lines are the same, sharing a fairly close syllable count and rhyming with each other. The last line is meant to rhyme with the first two, once again sharing a fairly close syllable count. Limericks were often used to write dirty poetry. Here is an example:

There once was a girl named Alice
Who used a dynamite stick as a phallus
They found her vagina
In south Carolina
And part of her anus in Dallas

Here's another more well-known dirty one:

There once was a man from Nantucket
His dick was so long you could suck it
He said with a grin
While wiping his chin
If my ear was cunt I would fuck it

Limericks tend to be quite crass as you can see. Or read in this case, hahahaha!

Also, you could write a very long intricate poem with multiple stanzas in limerick format. A great example would be from one of my favorite books, The Hobbit. Though not quite written in the same format, the entire song, Misty Mountains, is composed in stanzas made entirely of limericks. Here it is as an example of one of the stanzas:

Far over the Misty Mountains' cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, Ere break of day
To claim our long forgotten gold

As you can see, even though it is not separated into two lines, line four still rhymes with itself independently compared to lines one two and five. Anyway, I hope I did a good job explaining.

I grew up knowing the less dirty, albeit scandalous version:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Though, making your own is quite fun indeed. I wrote several limericks in honor of users during last year's winter contest.

Here I shall write one completely on the spot about my day:

Today I have been awfully sick,
Like someone walked up and gave me a kick.
It is quite unsightly,
blowing tissues frightfully,
I hope this passes real quick.

[color=#993300]This seems quite simple, I bet you'd agree
Even though this is all new to me
I never would have thought
That I would have caught
A new format that fills me with glee

The haiku corner
I did create that thread, yes.
Hugs from the... Porner?

Rhyming with haiku
This will prove quite challenging. .....
....
God dammit... I'm stuck.

My love for purple
A color of the sunset
Much better than orange

Silver is okay
It makes the number 12, but
Only once a month

And yes I am trying to rhyme words that don't have a rhyme with other words that don't have a rhyme. Don't question my logic
