"I can kill it!" He said, and departed
Leaving so many friends broken-hearted
He left a large curse,
For instead of a verse
There was just a vague fog where he'd ___________ |

as he ran for the door
'cause he couldn't partake of that smell anymore
As he slipped on something
both foul and unseen
he disappeared into the fog
and came out clean.. |

Through dense fog, a certain mis-fit,
For if he had seen
The mess wasn't cleaned,
He wouldn't have slipped in the_______! |

Here's a verse that is much more methodical
There are ways we can play
And all have our say
But please, don't get too pedagogical
(I will admit to using spellcheck at this point,
but haven't resorted to the rhyming dictionary shelf. yet) |

So, instead of lousy limericks...how 'bout some horrible Haiku?
To wit:
Carbon-top guitars
Sound deep, throaty, resonant
Others are jealous |

I was wrong again
downplaying Haiku's power
it continues on... |

Even a good pun is nice
For talent's sublime
Even gooder f'it rhyme
But posting alone man? No dice! |

Now it'll cost a pound to spend a penny. |

The purpose of this thread has changed since the original post and has now become a rallying point for those that want a certain other thread to come to an end.
At least this thread has revealed some hidden talents amongst the membership - the other is just an idle, no-brainer post bumper.
Maybe the moderators can change the thread title?
So... let's have a contest to pick a new thread title. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Hey guys, Karen is going through a very bad time right now, with Father's Day tomorrow and missing him so much. When Dave passed away so suddenly, we all promised to be there for her. I suggest everyone send a PM and let her know we still care and are keeping her and the kids in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks. |

Hopefully you're still 'here' because I believe that Dave would have appreciated and contributed to this thread, and possibly even have tried to grab 'bragging rights'.
If anything, since your post, maybe we (OFC family) can dedicate this post to Dave in the spirit and memory of all of our Dads that we can no longer hug.
Here's hoping that you and yours can find some comfort and peace in knowing that so many here share your loss in our own small ways... |
