Limericks

Another BBO member is a damsel named Frances

Who plays first class bridge by taking no chances

While bidding with flair

Her opponents did scare

And so won the tournament amid approving glances

[32519]

Yet another BBOer is a damsel named Diana

Her online help service is just like manna

Whoever has a complaint

She answers with restraint

Could this be the BBO Forums very own Santa?

The poets on BBO forum

exceeded the maximum quorum.

If they can't learn to scan,

their posts we should ban

and restore us a sense of decorum.

A 1 eyed jack from the UK

noticed - much to his dismay

that talent is scarce

and this is a farce

but he showed all the others the way!

Our forum moderator is Barmar, given name of Barry

Who follows up whenever anyone sends him a query

A member of the group “Admin”

Treating some posts like vermin

And deleting all personal attacks posted by the unwary

[PhilKing]

Three-two-five-one-nine,

writes poems that nearly rhyme,

but raising the bar,

is a bridge too far,

because the wannabee poet tends to put far too many words into each line.

There once was a thread about rhymes

Brought back from the dead several times

It made me quiet sad

For the poems were bad

And no one suffered for their metrical crimes

[Zelandakh]

There once was a man from East Transvaal

Who thought all 2-suited calls acceptable

He says Puppet is bad

And Multi just mad

And Mexican 2♦ awful

 

Two Brits of names Andy and PhilKing

Whose BBF posts always true ring

Shame their poems are cheesy

And they make me quite queasy

So I beg you this thread to an end bring

Brought back from the dead many times,

It made me quite sad,

The poems so bad,

Yet unpunished for metrical crimes.

I think you have missed the irony in Phil and Andy's poems Don. Phil has "nine", followed by "nearly rhyme", plus the extra long last line "because the wannabee poet tends to put far too many words into each line", while Andy includes a break in meter on the line "And no one suffered for their metrical crimes." In other words, I think this was intended.

Your irony is clearly stronger

The lines you write are even longer

This is pretty hot

cause rhyme there is not

and no meter either!

It would be more accurate to say that I couldn't think of a way to make my limerick work, so I stole Phil's joke instead.

I'm impressed Zel. Mpumalanga is what was formerly known as the Eastern Transvaal.

OK, seeing that you asked so nicely :D
