You can blame GeneralE and kpriest for this idea... I'll start off the thread:

There's nowhere left for me to hide.
I mixed up the rules and now I've
Gone and cloned a correction
To a marquee selection
Now my entry's been disqualified!

I'd never written a 'limerick' until I ran across these folks last Christmas morning ... one of the many hazards of listening to NPR.

Hmmm... NONE of that even rhymes! ;-)

I'm trying all day to shoot a silhouette
Tried a flower, some rocks, and even my pet
Now I'm making my kid pose
til he's blue in the nose
Cause I sure as heck aint giving up yet!

There once was a brilliant young punk
Who's depth of field was very shrunk
while watching his scores
drop from sevens to fours
He said, "screw this, I'm going to get drunk"

From the Basic Rules I am now quotin'
Spot selection is strictly verboten
While non topic compliance
Is not rule defiance
If you don't, you'll get killed in the votin'!

On the photo site called DPC
The challenges are getting to me
I move the camera to make my art
But the voters still pick it apart
And too often give it a three.

I went out and bought a new DSLR,
When really I needed new tyres on my car,
I bought lens and filters and flash,
Spent every last bit of my cash.
Been taking pics, but I ain't getting far!

Cameras, lenses and more,
Have decreased me from wealthy to poor,
So I don't understand
Why this last seven grand
Is still not improving my score.

Now let's make one thing very clear,
Digital photography is not very dear,
It's buying all the bits,
Makes the cheque book have fits,
I think I should just sit and drink beer.

A depressed and disturbed little fellow
put his model in a bathtub of jell-o
she was holding a flower,
and was wet from the shower,
So he won the blue, red and the yellow.

I thought that this thread was a gimmick
A means for ClubJuggle to mimic
But now I am wishin
there weren't so much competition
for trying to come up with a 'limerick'!

I AM DYING HERE! LOL LOL ROFLMAO OW OW OW

Who'da guessed all these photogs could rhyme??
Their lyrics being so clever and sublime
It occurs to me
that this has to be
the funniest thread of all time!

05/14/2005 05:13:07 PM · #13

I spent two thousand dollars this year
to be a top rated photog on here
but I find myself wishin'
that I'd just gone out fishin'
and drowned all my sorrows in beer.

(Yeah, I know the rhyme on this one is a stretch)

His humor and shenanigans
Have earned kpriest dozens of fans
But all DPC
Can clearly agree
That he has too much time on his hands!

05/14/2005 05:19:41 PM · #15

There once was a fellow named Jacko
Who we all agree is pefectly whacko
with his angry red kitty
he proves to be witty
But I think he's just on whacky tobacco.

Artyste wants to shoot candids, he said.
But his efforts at this all fall dead.
I guess he don't know
That it's hard to lie low
With a telephone pole in his head!

Too much time on my hands so they say
But unfinished work just won't go away
My priorities conflicted
Cause now I'm addicted
Unfortunately goofing off doesn't pay!

You knew it would get down to this didn't you...

Of the DPC boys and men
He had the biggest lens
It was large and thick
And the zoom tended to stick
But he scored the best with the hens

Sorry...

So much for the visit today. Ken is supposed to be here in 36 minutes from now, but he is far too busy writing limericks :-(

Anyone else wanna come over? We're having "surprise" BBQ *evil grin*

Edited to say: Heck I wish I had at least a couple of poetic bones in my body, so I could have wrapped that little barb in a poem.

I haven't the time or desire
for the surgery this would require
but all is not lost
for I save on the cost
my camera's batteries get charged by my wires.

On perusing this thread
I shouldn't have read
It with a mouthful of coffee
It's gone on the keyboard, monitor eeeeeek
How dare you guys be so darned funny!!!

(rhyme's definitely a stretch here, first 'limerick' I've tried....tis fun)

This has to be the funniest thread I read!!

To help you out.. First two lines should be between 7 and 9 syllables, and rhyme together. Next two lines should be 5 syllables, (or 4 or 6 in a stretch), and rhyme together.
Last line should be 7 - 9 syllables, and rhyme with the first two lines:)

Jacko's children are lovely and dear,
And his macros are something to fear.
His bugs and kids pose,
But everyone knows,
That his true loves are tiddies and beer!
