Hey Gang!! Another fun board when we get the Mordor Blues. This is the TR Limmerick Board. No contests, no judging, just post and have fun, ---no kidding!
Just remember they must be original and rated G, for all audiences.
This idea grew out of a fun chat we were having at the Pony. So the first 3 limericks were ones we all made up together, and will hopefully illustrate what we are getting at. Next time you stop at the Pony for a pint and a pipe, try making a limmerick together. Enjoy!

There was a young entwife from Fangorn
Who was sad and often forlorn
Said she with a sigh,
Wiping a tear from her eye
One day for entwives you'll mourn

Have you heard the tale of the ring?
About which the elves still sing!
of glory and woe,
Sauron's overthrow,
and rescue on eagle's wing.

A wizard's life is full of toil.
Stir the cauldron and cover with foil.
You chant and you plan,
with staff held in hand,
But a watched cauldron never will boil.

There once was a lad called Iarwain,
who's name pronounciation seemed so inane.
Sometimes it was whyne, wynne, or wayne,
but finally it was though he was just insane!

There once was a grimy old orc
Who could eat with his feet and a fork
He gobbled his food
In a manner quite rude
And then licked his toes with a 'Snork.'

There was a young hobbit from Stock,
Who came to the Pony a lot
When he was here
He drank all the beer
And fell to the floor with a knock.

There once was an Orc from Mordor
Who lived on Mordor’s border.
Alas! One lonely day
He decided to stray
And wound up stranded in Gondor.
There once was a crooked Stoor
Who was not at all poor
He expected a gift
Which caused a rift
Then hastily left by shore.

The Hobbit from Stock was actually a group effort, written in the Pony last night. I only contributed two lines. I can't remember who wrote the others, but I think Majah was involved.

There once was a dragon named Smaug
All he could breath was red fog
He tried and tried
But left with no pride
He stopped to weep on a log!

A Dwarf that was looking for riches
Got lost in a Hobbit cook's kitchens
He forgot about gold
'Fore his dinner got cold
And munched till he'd outgrown his breeches

There was a sweet bar maid from Bree
whose heart always longed for the sea!
To stories she'd listen,
as her eyes did glisten,
for some dreams are not meant to be.

A Dwarf from far off Lonely Mountain
Found gems in a Hobbiton fountain
He said in his greed
To the Hobbits: "Pay no heed
After all it is I who has found them."
(PS What is it about Dwarfs and Hobbits, anyway...?!)

A cocky young dragon from Dale
Went out flying one night in a gale.
His wings blew straight up,
He spun tail-over-cup,
And crashed down in a scatter of scales.

This I don't think classifies as a Limerick but I didn't know where else to put it!
Éowyn of Rohan
sat with her sweet prince
in Ithilien's fine gardens
eating one ripe quince
Said Éowyn of Rohan
do you think it is a sin
to let a quince so ripe and full
drip so upon my chin?
Nay! my dear, tis not a sin
fair Faramir replied
to let the juice from Eru's hand
upon your chin abide
So do not worry, fret or fear
such succulence indeed
I have a napkin by my side
that will surely wipe it clean!

Wonderfull, Ilúviël Almarië! This shows exactly how the basic limmerick can be the root of much more developed poetry. Humor in itself need not be the sole realm of the limmerick. Shades of Ogden Nash.......it was REALLY good!

A Hobbit from Stock had this habit
He talked every night to his rabbit
"It's curious," he sighed
"This cannot be right
Whatever it says, I don't get it!"

A Dwarf hid in a fair Elven city
Apparently thought he was witty
When he said to himself:
"No matter which Elf
my friend, you are TEN times as pretty!"

I noticed the date on the board,
in limericks we have been lacking.
So if any poets read this,
Start writting and stop all the slacking!

There once was a landlord in Bree
Whose inn was quite handsome to see
His wonderful beer
Filled guests with such cheer
They stayed up all night until three.
