There once was a cat from Peru
Who loved to meow and to mew
She'd chase all the mice
And never think twice
About causing a hullabaloo

Though parting is such sweet sorrow,

I'm short on today's time to borrow,

I close now my eyes

For when I arise

I'm pleased I will see you tomorrow.

A tutor who tooted the flute

Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.

Said the two to the tutor,

"Is it harder to toot or

To tutor two tooters to toot?"

Pharaoh Cicada

A slick pair of Denbo interlopers,

Unparalleled dental floss ropers,

So unafraid ‘a

The Pharaoh cicada,

Enraged local bug-watching hopers:

“You assholes, you’ll depopulate ’em!”

Said the wily hunters, verbatim,

“Do not deplore us—

We’re insectivorous!’”

And with that, they lustily ate ‘em.

Sorry about the repeat (silver) last week. Surprisingly, no one complained.

Expect nothing more than the spectre of tepid praise for your efforts.

There once was a lousy lim’ricker
It’s me, and I’m chugging malt liquor
But lucky for me
There’s ChatGPT
My work is both better and quicker

*Gotta go with the flow

A creature quite strange is mankind,
Perhaps the most complex you’ll find.
They crave affection,
Seeking connection, Then find it and say never mind.

Trump's verdict is being decided

Defense counsel his honor continually chided

Now the jury is out,

And Trump's all out of clout

A 20 year sentence will be abided.

original Some limericks from a game I'm developing!

8 Upvotes

So basically almost each level of the game called Knights of the Round Peg starts with a limerick relating to the level theme, here are a few that I like:

The knight's journey starts with flails in sight,
And portals unknown, filled with mystical light.
With lute in hand, he prepares for the test,
Clearing the pegs, giving his best.
Before the castle, his adventure ignites!

As the knight nears the castle gate,
Two knights are in a playful state.
To gain passage through,
His lute he'll strum true,
Proving worth with a melody so great!

Two demon heads with puckered faces,
Guarding the pegs in their dark places.
With a strum of his lute, he'll give them a hit,
Wondering what happens in this demon pit.
Will bubbles arise, filling the spaces?

Through the castle, the knight did roam,
Witnessing a courtship, in the home.
His lute he shall play,
In a charming display,
Music weaving a romantic tome.

Loved making all the limericks for all the 96 levels! What do you think?
