Limericks – bottom of the barrel poetry but a great way to practice English and have a bit of fun at the same time. The stanza (format) is quite simple and I have given a few examples to kick things off.
So why not flex your poetic muscles and have a bash? Simply choose a member on this site and write him/her an ode.
I have selected 3 GZ Stuffers who we all know and love and who I am sure can take a spot of leg pulling. They have also been fairly prominent of late.
SITING CHEN
"Fuck, fuck, shit, hate, fuck!" is her call
Her ranting can cause quite a squall
Siting Chen is her name, and this is her claim
"I hate the whole World, fuck you all"
SEAN
There was a (Re?)Publican, Sean
Who one day was feeling forlorn
In a bit of a huff, he quit GZ Stuff
And his groupies did cry, wail and mourn ……until he came back 5 minutes later.
GARETH*
Gareth a man from the Shire
Who as 'Tree' lit a huge forest fire
Said the Sherwood Oak, "this isn't a joke
I'm a poet and not a damn liar …. honest squire".
*Apparently Gareth and Tree are not the same. I would like to take this opportunity to issue a public apology for being a finger pointing shit stirrer….. and for being wrong.
Luckily for me, Rob doesn't rhyme with anything, except maybe nob, gob, slob, snob, flob and a few others.
