The Slug King

Barry was a slug most exaltedperfumed
But very quickly his reign was halted
They found him on the ground
A slimy mound
Barry, it seemed, had been a-salted

Written by [Mortified Penguin]

The Life of a Muffin

Roasting, rising and ready to arrive,
The muffin did smile in its warm baking hive.
Till one day a child,
Oh so rabid and wild,
Devoured, quite happily, the poor thing alive.

Written by [Rice]

Congratulations [Mortified Penguin] & [Rice]

1. Untitled

Never give a panda a hug
Even though they're cute as a bug
You mean them no harm
But you'll still lose an arm
And it'll do it, with little more then a shrug.

Written by [Lord Josmar]

2. my trip out

I slipped on a street called memory lane
Hell, I was in a lot of pain
I had to go to A&E
For people who are as clumsy as me
And then I had to walk back in the rain

Written by [kians mummy]

3. Pitfalls of Diversity

From PMs to wooing by sitar
The romance of Elftown gets bizarre
But when a young, Halfling schmuck
Can boast the feet of a Duck
The loving has really gone too far

Written by [Triola]

4. Let's Try This Again

With a little prose
A new phoenix rose
From the ash, with brilliant flame
A new bird comes to play the game
This time, though, we'll be on the nose

Written by [Mortified Penguin]

5. The Slug King

Barry was a slug most exalted
But very quickly his reign was halted
They found him on the ground
A slimy mound
Barry, it seemed, had been a-salted

Written by [Mortified Penguin]

6. Trouble

Trouble it seems,
Follows whom it deems,
Suitable for its games,
Does it ruin, kill, or maim,
One never knows what it dreams.

Written by [Ravendust]

7. Tidings

Down the mess hall rang a shout: "Ohoy!"
The midwife ran in and wept for joy.
'T was all over the news
the captain's best muse
gave birth to a healthy alien boy.

Written by [Linderel]

8. Dinner

Beyond the gate he stares at thee
Through eyeless sockets; how can he see?
Flesh and yellow colored tones
The Zombie man stands and moans
Merely wishing he could dine for free!

Written by [Alexi Ice]

9. Love

We went on a date,
I thought it was fate!
Unfortunately for you,
Now we are through
And you are not my mate!

Written by [Alexi Ice]

10. Poughkeepsie (Poh-kip-see)

There once was a man from Poughkeepsie
Who always showed up to work tipsy.
We beat down his ass
and soaked him in gas
Then burned him until he was crispy.

Written by [NOOOPE]

11. Writing Poetry is Hard!

A writer kept eyeing the clock,
Afflicted with bad writer’s block.
As the minutes ticked by,
He let loose a sigh,
Then decided to go for a walk.

Written by [Priscilla Primkin]

12. Colour me Antagonistically

The further I ran the further it came,
Calling, screaming and cursing my name,
When at last I did tumble,
Yet my heart did not stumble,
For I was the villain in this game.

Written by [Rice]

13. Smooth Moves

I met a cute girl, her guitar on her shoulder,
I struck up some talk and then soon enough told her:
"I'd sure fiddle your green
If you know what I mean,"
But she, see, could not have been colder.

Written by [Gastogh]

14. Usually I Find Possums

There once was a man in my roof,
Ev’ry night he would tap on his tooth,
Then one night at seven,
No sound – it was heaven,
But now I must smell all the proof.

Written by [Karithina]

15. Woes of Browsing the Interwebs

There once was a man from Nantucket,
He found "Yo dawg" and Lolrus and Bukkit,
The lolcats were there
In Chuck Norris’ hair,
And he followed steps 1, 2, ?, PROFIT!

Written by [Avaz]

16. Here Boy

T'was the guards from E'Town with a halo
Full of GOD and Righteousness and their Ego
They clutched at their hearts
You can't have genitals in art
And left to get off to Phaedo

Written by [Madhalf Heatlump]

17. Ripe for Censorship

To raise the ire or to remain placid
To be open and calm or spew acid
A crew member that's stern
Goes down on my concerns
Much lower than the member that's flaccid

Written by [Madhalf Heatlump]

18. The Life of a Muffin

Roasting, rising and ready to arrive,
The muffin did smile in its warm baking hive.
Till one day a child,
Oh so rabid and wild,
Devoured, quite happily, the poor thing alive.

Written by [Rice]

19. Not a Rooster

I have this neat pet. It's a sock.
It's not quite as cool as a rock.
But it has these big eyes,
It won't tell me lies,
And can even go out for a walk.

Written by [Calico Tiger]

20. Meep

Meep was the cock of the walk.
So fine, he was loved by the flock.
His comb was his pride.
He'd strut and he'd stride.
Till I bashed his head in with a rock.

Written by [Calico Tiger]

21. No Title

There once was a woman who mused
About why everyone was confused
She ranted ‘til red
Then stood on her head
And proceeded to speak with her shoes.

Written by [Dark Side of the Moon]

22. War. What is it good for?

An old soldier sat by the door
Remembering the horrors of war;
The medals on his chest
Could not lay to rest
Those memories of carnage and gore.

Written by [Priscilla Primkin]

23. A Tasty Limerick

I spoke with a poet named Tania,
Who said she was the best in the genre.
Well she was a phony.
I knew when she told me
That lasagna rhymed with bologna.

Written by [Aradon Templar]

24. Hobbits Can Be Short Sometimes

There was an elf town with elf dudes and elf chicks.
Everyone was at peace, there were seldom conflicts.
They would braid their long hair
Without even a care,
But from the halfling's point of view, he could only see dicks.

Written by [Mortified Penguin]

25. Utensil

There once was a man from New York,
Who carried with him an old fork,
He tried to eat a bean,
But his fork was unclean,
So everyone called him a dork.

Written by [Thunder Cid]

- The Elftown Limerick Competition

2011-04-23 [Roma]: :O I've got work to do.

2011-04-23 [Marlene'Jacques]: has to get her thinking cap on

2011-04-24 [Akayume]: I haven't written a limerick in yeeears. Ofta.

2011-04-24 [Lord Josmar]: First entry!

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: [kians mummy] your entry does not follow the correct format for a limerick, please change your entry to make it a limerick. :)

A limerick has five lines, and a rhyming scheme of AABBA (so the first, second and fifth lines need to rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines need to rhyme with each other)

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: is that better

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: Yes. :)

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: so, when will i get my badge x

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: X_X Badges are awarded after the competition is closed and after the winners have been announced. In the case of poetry contests announcing the winners can take several weeks because a group of judges discusses the individual merit of each entry before coming to a conclusion as to who the winner is.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: Note:
Up to three limericks (depending on the number of entries) will be picked out by the Council among all those presented. Participants will receive green worm badges, and the winner(s) will receive a coloured version of the same.
so that is after the compertition they will recieve that badge

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: Yes. :) Because obviously, we don't know whether you need the green badge or the full-colour badge until after we've chosen the winner.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: you could always change it, plus your a participent and a winner with both badges

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: No, the badge gets upgraded, you don't get two of them. Badging each person as they enter and then changing some of their badges if they win is a lot more work for us than simply waiting until all entries are in and the results are known, and then badging on one go. This is how badging for every contest on Elftown has been done.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: well some badging are like that though.

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: Like what?

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: where they give them there participents badge first, as it inspires them to do more, but never mind

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: i just think its a good idea thats all

2011-04-24 [windowframe]: The only competition that is badged in that way is the Council Portrait Gallery Competition, because it is ongoing and thus never has an end (it also doesn't have 'winners'). The Main Street features are badged in the same way for the same reason - they're never ending. For competitions that have a specific deadline, badging happens after the deadline. By entering you've earned a badge, for definite, you just haven't received it yet, and the phase is not yet determined.

2011-04-24 [kians mummy]: ok, no worries

2011-04-24 [Lord Josmar]: Oops. Sorry I forgot to put up whether or not mine had a title.

2011-04-24 [Linderel]: Trin, what's "sitar"? :o

2011-04-24 [Triola]: An instrument :)

2011-04-24 [Linderel]: *googles* Oooooo. Okay. :D

2011-04-24 [Triola]: I knew a word Lami didn't :D *boogies*

2011-04-24 [Linderel]: I always think of George when limericks are mentioned. :3

2011-04-24 [Linderel]: xD *gives a sticker and a lollipop*

2011-04-24 [Triola]: Awww, George <3 He's probably off high somewhere :3

Yay :D *puts the sticker on her t-shirt*

2011-04-24 [Linderel]: Hmm. I should enter. With... something. Not with the one about George, though; that one's not actually good. I shall come up with something!

2011-04-24 [Triola]: Mine isn't good either, I made it in five minutes, but I entered all the same :P

2011-04-25 [Alexi Ice]: The slug king is adorable! <3

2011-04-25 [Alexi Ice]: Question! Do slant rhymes count for the aabba scale?

2011-04-25 [Ravendust]: I've never written a limerick and am so gonna give it a shot, sounds fun :D

2011-04-25 [windowframe]: Hmm, the strength of the rhyme is pretty important to a limerick, Akane, so I'm going to say no...

2011-04-25 [DerynStarling]: What's a limerick? just curious :)

2011-04-25 [Linderel]: Limerick :)

2011-04-25 [Linderel]: Well, it's something.

2011-04-25 [Alexi Ice]: KK, no problem.

2011-04-25 [DerynStarling]: lol thanks *runs to take a peak at the page*

2011-04-28 [Alexi Ice]: I wonder if the first line of my poem needs some kind of punctuation so 'the' doesn't confuse anyone...

2011-04-28 [Lord Josmar]: If you are using it as a replacement for me I think it's spelled "thee".

2011-04-28 [Alexi Ice]: Ahhhhh, your right! Thank you!! <3 I just knew that looked wrong

2011-04-28 [Lord Josmar]: Your welcome! I didnt catch it till I read the last line and noticed it didnt rhyme, lol.

2011-04-28 [windowframe]: It's a replacement for 'you', not 'me', though, so it's still a bit confusing. :)

2011-04-29 [Alexi Ice]: I know. Gr. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work...If you don't mind I'm going to keep this one up as a placeholder

2011-05-06 [Alexi Ice]: Lol, ok, I think this could work!

2011-05-26 [Alexi Ice]: We need more entries here! I also wrote a pretty funny lyric...story thing...which I could post here but probably won't.

2011-05-27 [Ravendust]: [Rice]- furhter -- further?

2011-05-27 [Rice]: GAH! Thank you

2011-06-04 [DerynStarling]: I LOVE [Priscilla Primkin]'s! lol :p

2011-06-04 [Linderel]: [Rice], you still have that same typo. :P

2011-06-04 [Rice]: I swear I changed that...*head butts the screen* Thanks. D8

2011-06-11 [Avaz]: I went ahead and added one as well. It's up against some good competition, I can see a few really well crafted ones. :)

2011-06-29 [Calico Tiger]: Mine is awful (by my standards, definitely). But I had to enter something just because limericks are awesome. The only poetry I can stand x)
^{even when they're rubbish}

2011-06-29 [Calico Tiger]: Ok, so I did a rooster one anyhow. Is that last line too violent?

2011-06-29 [Calico Tiger]: And if it is, you suxx0rz >:P

2011-06-29 [windowframe]: Nah, it's fine. X)

2011-06-29 [Priscilla Primkin]: Just dropped in my second submission. I note that the one just above mine, No. 21, doesn’t have the name of the author on it. ???

2011-06-29 [windowframe]: Fixed, thanks! :)

2011-06-29 [Dark Side of the Moon]: oh darn it! Thanks [windowframe]. *^.^*

2011-07-14 [Lord Josmar]: Congrats! I knew that slug one was gonna win!

2011-07-14 [Karithina]: Congratulations both of you!~ The dark humour in them both made me (an often humourless lump,) giggle - I think they were well deserving of their win! :D

2011-07-14 [Alexi Ice]: That slug one was hilarious! I loved it! ^^ Congrats to the both of you!

2011-07-15 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Congrats to the winners and well deserved! Those limericks are hilarious!
