Limericks and other Rhymes (by Popular demand)

[Edward C. Patterson]

I wonder the wonder that is
Without getting into a tiz,
That life at the top
Will most often pop
Like a bottle of gone ginger fizz.

Ah the power of the pure Limerick form.

It may be that she grew taller and slimmer while she was away.  Young ladies often do that.  

Ha!  She's middle-aged though, so one might expect quite the opposite....

You went to the dogs and the ct's getting even.

Her Kindle was oh-so exotic.
Its voice was quite smooth yet robotic.
  But her cheeks turned quite red
  When her Kindle was fed
A book that was loud and erotic.

[Brendan Carroll]

Thank you so much for posting another good limerick.   I was beginning to think that this thread might have come to an end.

[Edward C. Patterson]

In all things that we need to strive,
In a life where all things should thrive,
It's naught but a gimmick
Unless it's the Limerick
With which we keep this thread alive.

Hey, Edward.  Really depressed here about the DTP thing.  It makes me wonder.  Still nothing showing on mine and yet, you say you got one sale from a couple of days ago?  OK, so here's a sad limerick.

Oh, why do I search sales in vain?
Oh, how it leaves me in pain!
Oh, what can it be?
Oh, when will I see?
Oh, where can I place all the blame?

OK, so I've not written a limerick in a while, but I just published the eleventh book in the Red Cross of Gold Series entitled:  Ars Arabia.  It hasn't become available just yet, so I'm waiting for the link before making a formal big deal about it.   However, since Ars Arabia is about a certain character named Lemarik, it put me in mind of this thread of which I am so fond.  So I decided to write a limerick about the publishing of this new book.  Here goes:

The trouble with publishing a work is this:
It is too much like a long, goodbye kiss
From a wonderful lover,
When the affair is over,
Whom you know you will forever miss.
