| Alan Ayling | May 16 2024, 5:36pm | Could we please, for the love of God, stop posting poetry with no sense of rhythm whatsoever? To work, a limerick needs to rhyme AND SCAN. I could offer examples, but they would undoubtedly draw the attention of the moderator. There was a young man from Nantucket, etc. |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 16 2024, 6:09pm | There was a hill runner called Ayling Whose patience for Limerick’s was failing ‘Rhyme and rhythm’ says he ‘Must sound right to me’ But maybe he just likes complaining..! |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 16 2024, 6:17pm | Now Alan can get quite upset, When the rules of the lim’rick aren’t met. if you mess up your rhyme, or falter on time, He’ll post on this page in a fret. |
| Alan Ayling | May 16 2024, 6:20pm | Graham, you're a hero. Brendan, your a bollock's. At least when it comes to correct use of apostrophes. |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 16 2024, 6:44pm | Alan That limerick of yours is missing two lines And it doesn’t rhyme And the timing is off And there’s no apostrophe in bollocks But it’s still very funny ! |
| Mikey Fry | May 16 2024, 7:06pm | Ok now brendan you’ve made Alan mad… you can’t just be hes little bride When you run fast and go the wrong way it’s your own fault lady choppers maybe you should be come a copper topper… |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 16 2024, 8:21pm | Oh Mikey, we know you're great fun, But you write like you're out for a run. Crazy fast, with no flow, Not quite sure where to go, And as for rules, you follow none! |
| Rob Tobin | May 16 2024, 8:33pm | National Limerick Day looks set to continue But if we persist with this bardic cruinniú Observe metre you must To avoid causing fuss And setting Alan ag'in' you |
| Rob Tobin | May 16 2024, 8:34pm | *meter D'oh! |
| Brian Kitson | May 16 2024, 9:42pm | “Oh Mikey, we know you're great fun, But you write like you're out for a run.” Can we take a moment to enjoy this. Surely one of the greatest stanzas committed to this forum. |
| Stuart Scott | May 17 2024, 8:29pm | To paraphrase that well known bard, The IMRA Races: Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run |
| Alice Clancy | May 19 2024, 11:17pm | There once was a captain called Ayling, Whose Brigade he surely was failing, To Buckfast he’s partial, With results sometimes farcial, But on seven brought home the win sailing!! *Alan as forfeit for our defeat the animals will now proceed to pay you back with bad limericks for the rest of the year |
| Peter Doyle | May 20 2024, 9:11am | Another one "inspired" by the relay Liam Vines, the IMRA running great Finished leg 7 in a bit of a state He wailed "it is truely unfair That we must finish by ascending the stairs Next year I propose they are made part of leg 8" |
