There's some verbiage there that needs some tweaking, but I've just had my eureka moment and want to share the result.

Damn fine work, RG

Here's an Idaho Special Harvest Riesling from Ste. Chapelle. Will that do, Noir?

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:09 pm

heh. blue, way to go.

Riesling for frenchpuss....

incidentally, Riesling is the only white wine I drink...

and there's also malice.

Well Mr. Noir, I'd love to help you out. I've actually wanted to learn metal work. But alas, I'm afraid I have to pay the bills. Bummer.

GE, have you had a Gewurztraminer? And does that mean you drink red wines?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:13 pm

Oh my... wine from every direction. yes, yes... one for each paw.

Can't say you've no no job offers now, blue. maybe that will start a trend, huh?

and there's also malice

And "chalice"

Quit trying to make me second-guess myself! I'm sticking with what I've got. Though the comedic prospects available with those two rhymes open a lot of doors. But the existing limerick does not lend itself to sequels..they would seem to much like an afterthought. It stays as was. I'd like to see what you could do with it, though.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:15 pm

You don't like the latter limerick, GE?

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:16 pm

I actually started a thread called "Lecherous Limericks" about a year ago, but no one posted to it but me, so I let it die.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:16 pm

ahh man, pleeeaaasse? I'm no good with the writing part, just the suggesting.

I hope so too LeChat. I need some soon.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:17 pm

How about a companion, rather than an extension? I'll see if anything springs forward. Any other rhymes you guys got?

seems everyone but me thought of that.

Ha, beat you to it tony on the last page.

Now, how about chaste, waste, baste

Oh, man... I’m just not too good at limericks. But let me think on it a while. You’d be surprised what can sometimes burble up from the depths of my psyche.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:23 pm

So spiteful was old father gallas,
and filled to the brim with such malice
that when he forsook
the Lord's holy book,
he fashioned it into a phallus.

I's a quickie using the suggested rhymes, but not too bad considering its impromptu nature.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:24 pm

The hard part for me is usally the B rhyme, with the doublet in the middle.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:26 pm

falling off bar stool, and rolling on floor laughing

Ha hahah hahahh hhahhahahhahh

I wanted to find a way to clearly indicate that he was using the bible for Papier-Mache (for which it works quite well), but I would have had to break the whole thing back down to its foundation to make it work.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:27 pm

oh, sorry... I was on the phone...

I loved it!!

Holy crap, I just hit 700. I'm doooooomed!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:28 pm

Oh, my.... once again I must be a party pooper and leave this glorious ambiance behind me in search of rest, but I'll be looking forward to a time in August when, for a moment or three, we've nothing to do but sit a little longer and laugh a little louder.

See you on the morrow, friends...

Goodnight!!

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:29 pm

I thought maybe your silence indicated indifference, or disapproval.

Good night, Noir! I'll try to come up with one about you. Shouldn't be too difficult.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:30 pm

Good night Mr. Noir, sleep well.

RG, I thought it was hilarious

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:32 pm

Glad you like them, blue. Thanks for the rhyme suggestions.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:33 pm

no no no... just talking to the SO....

g'night frenchpuss... your departures are always lamented by this little pixie...

tonytohono · Post by **tonytohono** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:37 pm

sorry blue - didn't realize you had already suggested phallus... or anyone else for that fact. Must be this blanket.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:37 pm

A fellow--whom we'll call LeChatNoir--
was possessed of such skill in the boudoir,
that once he's undressed
you'll be so impressed,
that you'll forget where, when, and who you are!

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:37 pm

You have to stumble over "forget" to get the meter right, but it makes me smile.
