From time to time, I like a little distraction on the board. Now that JohnG has gone missing in action and his "This Old House" thread is devoid of pictures, I propose a brief competition.
MULTIPLE ENTRIES: Sure. Why not? DEADLINE: 12/07/2007, midnight PRIZE: $50 donated in the winner's honor to support this board JUDGE: Not me (I plan to ask the mods if they're willing to vote)
TOPIC: WORST (or BEST) LIMERICK WITH "RECOVERY" AS THE THEME.
RULES: Keep 'em "clean" (how 'bout clean enough that you could read to your grandmother? Remember: the point is *recovery*!). You may follow the traditional limerick form, or alter it slightly for humorous effect.
MAY THE BEST LIMERICK (or is that the worst limerick?) WIN!

There once was a man called Dim, Who thought recovery wasn't for him, He porned away all his pain, His life went down the drain, And he died a miserable horrible death.
That should put people off ;D.

Thanks Mayberry!!
I'm looking forward to this competition. Just got home and haven't had time to sharpen my limerick pencil yet, but I am all fired up.
Let's see some volunteers for judge!

Okay,
I'm assuming multiple entries are acceptable. So here is a quick first attempt:
There once was a man from Malta Who didn't think his P. addiction was his faulta. His wife said you're crazy. And also quite lazy. You must bring it to a halta.

BF: I've PM'd the mods, asking them if they would be willing to serve as judges. If they're not, I'll take volunteers! As to multiple entries--sure, why not?! The more the, um, merrier?!? I'll go change the "rules." *** So far, I think we're off to a roaring good (or is that bad?) start!

OH NO!!
I think my OCD is kicking in!!
There once was a man so in love with p*** That he couldn't stop tooting his horn. He remarked, I think I'm stuck. So far down in the muck. It's left me feeling down and forlorn.

Surely, the word "OCD" will prove a valuable end-rhyme for something?

Ok, this is IT!!! I am now going to take my meds and a nap (if I can get those dam* rhymes out of my head, while I'm in bed)
I'm afraid I have PA and OCD It's truly a terrible way to be. Sometimes I feel quite compulsive. Other times, entirely repulsive. And doomed to repeat after me.

Well, I took a nap but the meds haven't kicked in yet.
So, just one more.
There was an addict who just couldn't get enough P on his PC. Some said he viewed it just like a TV. Finally, his wife she said, Enough!! I just have to get tough! It's outa here with me!

Thanks for a way to let life be a little less heavy, Mayberry. BF, you obviously have a gift...unfortunately with no recognizable retail value, but a gift nontheless.

Oye. I now CANNOT get the Nantucket rhyme outta my head! I go there quite a bit and you'd be surprised, or maybe not actually, about how many t-shirts reference that limerick. "I married the man from Nantucket", etc. Funny, ha ha.
I'll have to crack my writing knuckles for this though BF seems to have the edge!
