*is perversely proud of his anapaest meter, and agrees that ending with the same vowel sound and paying limited attention to meter disqualifies Shiff as a limerick smith*

A young, headstrong bard lived in Haven;
Thought, "At poetry, I am a maven!"
But his struggles linguistic
Were anachronistic -
His posts simply copied "The Raven".

Red is his beard
Red is his heart
Beware his axe
For he ain't lax
The Priest of Vorax

There once was a fighter named Woll
Who was closer to average than tall
While fighting with Giants
To get nuts for some clients
Got his head caved in with a maul

There once was an Elf named...god knows
Who fancied himself good with all bows
While taking the shot
It skipped off a knot
And now he's minus his nose

Onced lived a Dwarf named Drongoes
Who was better with axe than with bows
while making a cleave
His target did weave
And now they call him nine toes

Barion Firesteed , a fighter real strong
Said to himself " i lived too long ,
Half-elven grandchildren are denied ,
Guess i need an epic fight ,
To have my name live on in a song "

There was an old wizard named Tim,
Whose chances of living seemed slim,
When he threw a strong spell
Which dissolved his friend Kell,
Now Kell's ghost wants to do poor Tim in!

There once was a gnome named Vin
The shadows he oft lived in
A dwarven plot dire
And Vin's such a liar
Salvation he stole from his kin

...There we go. Now I saved Acacea the trouble of coming up with a song.

There once was a fellow named Stephen
Who thought that his rhymes could break even
He gave it a shot
And found they could not
And so now the not-bard is leavin'.

I totally count as a feature of Layonara.

There once was a shapely young Lass,
with an equally shapely young arse... >.<
Ark went for a squeeze
just to do as he pleased
But she broke him and called him quite crass...

Please don't kill mae

A shapely young girl named Lenore
Was beautiful, lovely and more.
When Ark's roaming eye
This woman did spy...
Well, Ark's face is now rather sore.

<3 I win. Well. Where Shiff is concerned.

Why are we picking on Arkolio? Ohhh. Right. It's easy.

Wisdom in teasing a GM?
Should you have sent a PM?
Stephen and Shiff
One side of a tiff
That ended in their PC's requiem

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #32 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:04:49 PM »

To be fair, any monosyllabic PC's name would work.

Eyes swirling red hypnotic
Farros on many a narcotic
had one too many thrills
so he ran for the hills
regurgitating sweet symphonic

The lunchmeat squirrel in Nonac's gullet
wretched forth on the dwarf with a mullet
saw a goblin he be
his axe so sprang free
after the greenskin, aiming to cull it

lonnarin · « **Reply #35 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:24:46 PM »

Leanthar Spellore, Hurrah, Hooray!
the great server lord smiles today.
Danced he about, quite elated.
checked his account, someone donated!
Layo is God and here to stay!

Scriptwrecked took Orth on in Coder's War,
churned out the programs like never before!
1011001 teh H@x0r e1337!
but both hung their heads in defeat
when Dorg hacked in through the back door

Hallmonitor darkstorme eyed the incorrigible lonn
Warring wordsmiths, evil v. good, darkness v. sun
(I know those adjectives should be reversed
We're aware who is pure and who is perversed)
Pertinent question is, which side sits ycleption?

ycleption · « **Reply #38 on:** February 14, 2008, 08:28:48 PM »

Ycleption avers, the real matter is Pseud,
Are you yourself Evil, or just misconstrued?
LG or CE
Why do you query?
I think you seek to start Limerick feuds.

Pseudonym · « **Reply #39 on:** February 15, 2008, 11:13:20 PM »

Pseudo sought the elusive post thanked
In players hearts, he was second ranked
I shoulda known better
than challenge the pace setter
I was surely destined to get spanked

BUT!

My hopes rise from the embers
7,669 members
If I pen a limerick about all
From first place he might fall
(Though it'll prolly take me til' November)
