There once was a young man called BAD
His life, on the whole, rather sad
He found out the Wreck
And he said, "What the heck!"
"Here's a great place for me to be BAD!"
He had an unlimited budget
He had almost limitless time
He asked lots of frivolous questions
He wasted some good people's time
If a troll is a duck
Then he walked like a duck
And he quacked like a duck
But he's really a ****
Something that rhymes
Oh, the Wreck this dude truly did haunt
He would bray, he would cry, he would taunt
He got folks in a lather
With all of his blather
This old rec-dot-norm dilettante
I for one have grown tired of BAD
His presence here makes me feel sad
And long for the old days
And all of the "Just Say's"
The witty repartees
When even on bad days
Reading the Wreck made me glad

You may enjoy more the mobiused meretricious metricality of:
Brayed Aria Dave is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Wrecklands his tools was the best;
And save his BAD thinking he knowledge had none.
He rode all unlearn'd and he rode all alone.
So lacking in thought and so prone to just rave,
There n'er were a putz like Bay Area Dave.

There once was a man named BAD
whose postings were boring and sad
after awhile
thanks to my killfile
I forgot all about that gonad
Now THAT is freaky. Seriously. I was thinking about ending one of the
limericks today with "Burma Shave". I'd say "great minds think alike",
but that would leave me open to your sarcastic wit. But I AM serious
about the Burma Shave thing. Don't do this anymore. It's scary.

The poetry is marginal, but I can't argue with the voice of
experience. Hardly what we're accustomed to, coming from you, but I'll
concede your expertise in this particular matter. I would have said "bow
to your expertise," but under the circumstances, bending at the waist seems

I would have preferred not, but since you ask. At least I'm
guessing you're asking, no question mark (?), so it would appear you've
still not mastered any punctuation skills.
There was a bad monkey called Dave.
Woodworking skills, he did crave.
Fancy, expensive tools, he's got 'em.
So he can make a drawer with no bottom.
He's now a plagiarizing knave.

ok, ok, not TOO bad for the first time out.
Not only did I miss the punctuation, but I wrote "one" instead of "on".
Touché.
I liked the limerick right up to "knave". I thought that was a stretch.
How about replacing the last line with "Everything he planes is concave"?

Really? I didn't care for the mixing of meters.
And on that note, I happen to have here the second limerick book
(More Limericks) and am saddenned to report there is only one
limerick listed under Tom in the index. There are, however, several
listed under Keith.
There once was a fellow named Keith.
Who liked it above and beneath.
His nights were so harried,
As positions were varied,
That he woke up with hair in his teeth.
I don't have the inclination to look up DAVE or BAD.
OBWW: I couldn't on short notice find any good woodworking limericks,
though there may be some in the first limerick book.

*sigh* I think I'll just claim that that _is_ the extent of my talent.
"Brevity is the soul of wit." I prefer to keep things short, and be
thought of as a wit, rather than expostulate at length, and prove that
the world is only "half" right.
So I guess my terse posts are a step in the right direction. (Although
many would say if I didn't post at all, that would be many steps in the
right direction!)

Neither poetry or story-telling is my forte. 'Twas a struggle of
immense proportions to come up with that little ditty. Someone pointed
out that it should have been 5 lines. Like I didn't KNOW that? 'Course
I did. I was employing a little poetic license...
