Line-by-Line Limericks 'n Odes

[DejaBoo]

The object is to write a limerick together. Each poster writes one line (or more if you're on a roll), until the fifth line is reached, then a poster starts a new one.  Probably best to re-post the previous line(s) of the current limerick before your own line, so it all makes sense in context.  

As we know, Limericks have an AABBA rhyme scheme with 3 anapests for A lines and 2 in the B's.  
Just a ground rule: don't make the first line too hard to rhyme, since we have to find two rhymes for it.
  
*** Limerick rules relaxed,  an ode is an ode, just write the way you like ***
(but if anyone wishes their lines to be Limerick-specific only, just make a note when posting)

Let's start with:
 
There once was a Forum of Games

[NNAHere]

There once was a Forum of Games,
Which attracted bould guys and bould dames.

Which attracted bould guys and bould dames.
NNA raised the bar

There once was a Forum of Games,
Which attracted bould guys and bould dames.
NNA raised the bar
When he said to Dejarr

And now we need back the old names

@jp liz v1 - Do you want to start the line of a new Limerick? :-)

[jp liz v1]

Come back home I hear you say

[NNAHere]

Come back home I hear you say
Home is where we FoGies play

[jp liz v1]

Come back home I hear you say
Home is where we FoGies play
Games of every kind

[NNAHere]

Come back home I hear you say
Home is where we FoGies play
Games of every kind
Will surely blow your mind

[Declan A Walsh]

Come back home I hear you say
Home is where we FoGies play
Games of every kind
Will surely blow your mind
And make you possibly stay.

New limerick:

There once was a game of Sheep...

[NNAHere]

There once was a game of Sheep
Which had glamour and glitz and mystique

[jp liz v1]

There once was a game of Sheep
Which had glamour and glitz and mystique
Some answers were funny with scoring aces

[NNAHere]

There once was a game of Sheep
Which had glamour and glitz and mystique
Some answers were funny with scoring aces
While others you'd question their logical basis

[jp liz v1]

Which had glamour and glitz and mystique
Some answers were funny with scoring aces
While others you'd question their logical basis
When some lose we are sad so we weep

New Limerick

We still await the Blind Date game

[NNAHere]

We still await the Blind Date game
And while we wait we go insane

[jp liz v1]

We still await the Blind Date game
And while we wait we go insane

In anticipation we shaved

[NNAHere]

We still await the Blind Date game
And while we wait we go insane.
In anticipation we shaved
And expressed thoughts depraved

[jp liz v1]

We still await the Blind Date game
And while we wait we go insane
In anticipation we shaved
And expressed thoughts depraved
The questions submitted oh the shame

@DejaBoo @Declan A Walsh you wanna start next one

There once was a game of music walrus

[NNAHere]

There once was a game of music walrus
Designed to delight, to inspire, to enthrall us

You win it- they'll call you (Don't callrus).

@DejaBoo @BuileBeag @Mam of 4 @nothing @ShaneU @Kol wanna have a try

ok Liz..... here we go:


NNA is a maths wiz and more

[NNAHere]

NNA is a maths wiz and more
And to many that makes me a bore
But Deja, I'm told
Enjoys being bold
'Cos being angelic's a chore.

OK, I sort of spoiled it so restarting:

NNA is a maths wiz and more

[Declan A Walsh]

NNA is a maths wiz and more
But manages to avoid being a bore

[NNAHere]

NNA is a maths wiz and more
But manages to avoid being a bore
While Declan (it's said)

[Declan A Walsh]

NNA is a maths wiz and more
But manages to avoid being a bore
While Declan (it's said)
Keeps it all inside his head

[NNAHere]

NNA is a maths wiz and more
But manages to avoid being a bore
While Declan (it's said)
Keeps it all inside his head
So he never reveals his top score.

A new one:

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:

[DejaBoo]

A new one:

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:
"I think I shall post a new thread"

[NNAHere]

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:
"I think I shall post a new thread"
So she opened 'Chain games'

[jp liz v1]

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:
"I think I shall post a new thread"
So she opened Chain Games
And saw the same names

[NNAHere]

A FoGie (a mad yoke) once said:
"I think I shall post a new thread"
So she opened Chain Games
And saw the same names
So she set up the game and then fled.

[NNAHere]

Said Deja "It's time that we had a good bash."
So she made a new game with pizzazz and with dash.
We flocked to her thread and after we read it.
We thought "That's quite cool, she deserves all our credit."
Day by day, though, the crew disappeared fairly quickly
And the site by degrees becomes ever more sickly.
So it seems - sad to say- that the site's doomed to crash.
Credit's grand- if you're God- but for all others cash!

[NNAHere]

To be sung to the tune of 'The Rose of Tralee'

The forum of games is a website declining
The members it seems have all gone back to Boards.
Ghostly threads, lacking posts are a way of defining
That it's ended, it's time that we fall on our swords.

It was fun while it lasted, a cool place to chill
But now it's adrift, of members bereft.
So for me it's now time that I head for the hill
Say 'Farewell! It's been good but it's time that I left'.

Thanks all while it lasted- participants, administrators and development crew. I am logging off now. I can't actually delete my account so perhaps will periodically check in to see if there's anything doing. So, until the next time (if there is a next time), 'Au revoir!'

Knock Knock and @NNAHere is here
Others need to come play and cheer
