Scouting Limerick Contest

[SWScouter 34]

More Haiku:

 

We will do our best.

We will be prepared each day.

The Boy Scout refrain.

 

For those who don't know, Haiku is a short three line poem made up of seventeen syllables, five in the 1st and 3rd lines and seven in the second.

 

Born a tiger cub.

Fitness, character, service.

An Eagle, he soars.

I'm sitting here eating my dinner, and if I skipped it I would be thinner, but of these posts I'll read on, of limericks-not of song, and wait for Beavah to pick out a winner.(This message has been edited by local1400)

A poster called Old Grey Eagle, used a song-and thats illegal, but Local's here to say, I threw my best into the fray, and I thought they sounded quite regal.

I didnt know you cant use a songs lyric in a Limerick

But I promise on this topic not to have a fit

But seeing as to rhyme things with Ozemu

Is quite easy to do,

And being from Down Under, I thought he would appreciate it

This thread could run on for years, you may laugh or shed some tears, now you know how it's done, jump in-have some fun, keep it clean friends and shout out three cheers!

Boy Scouts, Be Prepared!

Help old people cross the street

Go camping, save lives.

[SSScout 1615]

Smoke sifters, camp edges and snipes

My friend had lots of these types

Of pranks at his hand.

Though renowned thru the land,

He succumbed from Scouts' sour gripes.

Some scouters like wit as Haiku

It's something this scouter just won't do

I like the rhymes in lim'rick

They're clever, witty and slick

Any other simply just won't do

[Aquila calva 10]

Trustworthy Loyal

Helpful Friendly Courteous

Kind Obedient

 

Cheerful Thrifty Brave

Clean and Reverent Boy Scouts.

Make pleasing Haiku.(This message has been edited by Aquila calva)

A friend in toil

Be helpful to and loyal

They'll think you royal

 

There you go Gonzo Rhyming Haiku.

 

Twisting arms and legs

for any patient who begs

and pays with two eggs

 

There is a good doc named Jaime

whose Irish roots me does stymie

with a last name of Gonzo

doc I thought was Latino

is now leprechaunie

[Aquila calva 10]

Theres a Scouter on here named Trevorum

Who contributes a lot to the forum.

He makes things so luminous,

Like reverence for the numinous,

Its almost impossible to ignore-um.

 

[OldGreyEagle 5]

There is a fine scouter named Trevorum

He is always the model of composure and decorum

He was over heard one day

That he wanted to limit his visits to only one a day

On the Scouter dot Com Forum

[ASM915 90]

Here at the forum resides Old Grey

Whose advice you shouldn't say ney

He's a thoughtful and wise gent

Whose limmericks are quite eloquent

I think unitl death he plans to stay

[Gonzo1 10]

ASM915, thanks, that made me laugh

 

Thank you for the com-pli-ment

When camping I sleep in a tent

Half Irish I am

And not very tan

From Puerto Rico my grand dad was sent

[SWScouter 34]

Is that yonder lad a scout?

Nay, he's a hooligan and a lout.

Where are those lads in tan and green?

I look and they are nowhere seen.

They're hither, yon, out and about.
