or if i may,,,
there once was a preacher who's crime,
was to cause his own blinding with lime,
wrapped in barbed wire,
he trod through the mire,
with rocks in his shoes for all time,,,
the more i think about it the more i remember what a profound writer she was
just fyi
she is the misfit and the grandma is HER grandma
she wasn't all that fond of grandma,,,
ok,,,now back to our regularly scheduled thread,,,

When posting on High Road one might
Write a message that's too full of spite
It's an oldie and yet
It's good not to forget
Armed society's always polite!

Too bad Ted got away with it; not to mention the last line proved to be untrue.
Bob
p.s. I recall this from an OLD Hustler Grafilthy cartoon; it was written
on the men's room wall.

at high road you know it's not right,
to treat each other with slight
you must remember(e) (poetic license please)
any argument here
could wind you up in a gun fight!
ok, 'nuff limericks outta me

I've done a few Mall Ninja Haiku, so it seems appropriate to do a Mall Ninja limerick.
The ultimate mall ninja am I
have shoplifters, punks, and thieves to fry
gigawatt taser bolts
and tricked-out HBAR Colts
who wants to be the next goblin to die?
vertigo7, who has way too much free time on his hands

Made another try but getting off the topic of CCW...
A jealous woman named Donna was mad
And so she filled her mother with lead
Disdaining the rifles she chose shotgun
With one trigger pull was the foul deed done
But she feels no better with mother dead
Using unsubtle literary device
To show a common human vice
Author writes confusing story
About wretches most sorry
With even the ending not so nice

I guess I am confused as to the proper rhyming. I understand the AABBA order but not the other rules for limericks. I better review the tutorial sites.
A "proper" rhyme would be "mad/dad" or "Volk/folk." A strained rhyme would be the two previously described.
Remembering back to my high school english classes, I was taught that the "better" a poet was, the more free they were to deviate from the established rules. I was never any good, and as such, stuck to the rules religiously.

Though Kerry may wear the disguise
Of a hunter with pro-gunner ties
His record is plain
As a liberal pain
Let that be a word to the wise!

Excellent, durango.
How about:
A net forum called THR
Brought shooters from near and from far
With Oleg as host
And Sam posting most
They argued o'er Glock, SIG and Kahr.

I like it! OK, here's another...
The folks at good old CBS
Had a hatchet-job ready for press
Til the topic got hot
With a threatened boycott
And they ran off like the gutless, left-wing, limousine liberals that they are (I guess).
OK, it got a little out of control, but it still rhymed (sort of).

A High Roader called Skunkabilly
Took "tactical" way beyond silly
With tritium ghost rings
And single-point slings
And a sidesaddle for his Benelli.

1. There ain't no such thing as a clean limerick.
2. Almost all of the attempts above don't scan.
3. Sorry, Oleg, Isaac Asimov was way ahead of you.
