I've made this thread for the Limerick stories...so if you come up with a Limerick, put it here. But the discussion can go in the other thread. Does that make sense?

There once was a lad from Kentucky,
who went through his life…"never lucky".
He fashioned a shoe
that was shaped like a U,
and now his life is just ducky.

There once was a fellow named Nate,
who wanted to own an estate.
He found him a Honey…
And married her money.
He’s “kept” now…just like an inmate!

I haven’t had no-chance to rhyme.
It seemed that I hadn’t “the time”
Then Jan posts a prize…
…and these verses arise.
Creativity’s starting to climb!

Limericks aren’t really my bag…
And it’s not that I’m trying to nag…
Jan, please be nice…
Let short verse suffice…
Cause the plot here is starting to drag.

There once was a young man named Cooper
Whose friends called him a party pooper.
He tried to change his way
So he would be asked to play.
But his antics put them in a stupor.

There once was a bobcat named Theodore
Who preyed in the jungles of Ecuador.
He tried to make friends
But always in the end
There was nothing left but the carnivore.

There once was a mouse named Dees,
So slow, each new friend would tease.
He tried working out,
And eating salads with a bean sprout.
But grew fatter: the second one to the trap gets the cheese.

I can't see my story for the words.

I reject rejection so I will send it back out.

There once was a writer named Pete.
His plots lacked substance and meat.
Tried learning on line,
Tried to re-write and refine.
He now plots away on writers retreat.

There once was a frog named Splat.
He'd do anything for the taste of a gnat.
Wandered out of the pond,
Searched the field and beyond.
Hopped in the road and got one that was fat.

Excellent, definite plot.

Poor Nate, but it clearly follows the rules...a character with a problem, effort to solve it, and resolution. He scored right away, but he did do something that resulted in resolution.

Nice limerick, but required an outside influence for resolution...so doesn't pass the "plot" test necessary for the game. But as a limerick, it rocks.

Another nice limerick...again, doesn't fit the plot requirement for the game...but you clearly rock the limerick form. You handle the meter very nicely too.
