Performing magic's as easy as pie,
no practice required's no lie,
I've seen many do it, there is nothing to it,
if on stage you are willing to die.

I can see where this thread is a going,
not that I'm name calling or stone throwing.
But I need you to see, that these limericks...
Should be about me.

Hi, my name is Style
I've been known to perform tricks
Once in a while.
I use coins, small objects and cards,
I work barbeques, barmitzvas and backyards.
Although my hands are the cause of mystery,
I hope I’ll be remembered throughout history
As the man who could make people
Smile.

It is a magician I surley must be,
for I do things that no man can see,
things disappear, are then pulled out your ear,
for I am Cala mar i...

In a Café of magic to ponder,
There lived a strapping young dodger,
Well everyone cried,
Tis' God-glorified!
He knew that his real name was Roger.
The End

Ok, Ok, you guys have made a point
I didn't mean to at all disappoint
I always thought lines 1,2,5 had to rhyme
As did Lines 3 and 4 all the time
So I'll end with an exclamation point!

You're getting closer!

Getting closer? besides rhyme is there also syllable counts to deal with like a haiku?

Yeah it usually is 9,9,6,6,9 but there are variations.

I've actually never counted the limericks before since I kind of know the "tune".

De diddly diddly de dee,
De diddly diddly de dee,
de dur dur de durrr
de do de do duurr
De diddly diddly de dee

The once was this man name Larry
Who had an egg-shaped head that was really kinda hairy
He Went out one day, in the month of May to find a cup of soup
He turned around and then he found he had to take a poop
This was when he realized that she was standing there
Looking at his egg-shaped head with all that long blond hair
He finally got some courage and what he said was this
"I mean you no disrespect, but I have to leave you miss."
"That's okay" said she "I see you need to use the john.
I just hope for heaven's sake that you don't take too long."
"I won't" said he "and this I guarentee.
I wanna see a show tonight. Will you go with me?"
She answered "Yes" and hugged him tight.
He didn't want to stop her, he didn't want to fight.
Then all of a sudden there was this real big noise...
Like the sound you get from beans and little boys!
Larry was embarassed, the girl was unsure,
Oh my God, hold your nose, the man smells like manure!

The moral is: When nature calls, do not hesitate.
For if you do, you pay the price and deserve your awful fate.

That was awesome Bill...I just remembered this topic and hadn't read it until now (almost two months!)

There was an old man from Mars
Who smoked only white owl cigars
One day in his sauna
He found some marijauna
and now he's in jail behind bars

That lemerick prompted a teacher parent meeting in my second grade catholic school.

There once was a chicken from kentucky
who one day met a Colonel
now he aint so lucky

Yeh...can some one finish this off for me?

Sure, pass us the bucket.
