Limerick on the inadvisableness of impulsive emailing

Your thoughts are quite clear in your brain
the points salient and germane
but after you send
your messages tend
to transmute into dull and inane

Limerick in celebration of a national folk hero being portrayed (yet again) by an irritating attempt at a British accent

Robin Hood: once again riding through the glen
Robin Hood: once again with his merry men
   but now Robin's an Ozzy
  He is growly and bossy
and that accent? I'd give it three out of ten

Limerick making a joke about the Milibands name but not the Steve and Glen Miliband joke

If Labour's "bright future" is going to be
Ed or David might just be the key
   the legacy of sir Foot
   is now truly kaput
'cos "Mili"band's metric you see

Limerick celebrating the ascension to power of the right honourable home secretary and equality minister

Great thought's needed limiting what
one can do twixt the grave and the cot
  But when talking sexuality
  or a partnership's legality
the rule's Teresa "May" - others "may not"

Limerick celebrating the new Government

The future is brave, bright and bold
under Dave and Nick, so we are told
  But I’ve a suspicion
  that this coalition
Will soon revert to the Tories of old

Limericks #TYSIC

Something I used to do, but don't do now so often, is Limerick writing. This is odd as it is something I enjoy and therefore should do more of

The other day, someone I follow on twitter due to some politicalopinions, posted about trying to rhyme "orange" Which caused me to tweet the following 2 updates:

When you are writing a rhyme,
there's no point in wasting your time
  finding forced rhymes for orange,
  Will just make us all cringe,
and are considered a linguistic crime

Then today Dave Gibbons posted that it was Limerick day and wondered if anyone could tweet one in less than 140 characters:

and was then gracious enough to retweet my effort:

limericks ought 2B rude,
& civil language eschewed,
  but the letter limit,
  allowed per twit,
still lets you be fucking crude

As with most Limericks, there's a certain advantage to hearing them rather than seeing them written down, but its still fun

So, new TYSIC goal, more Limericks as they amuse me and an amused me is an improved me :)
