WARNING:Irish Limericks Ahead

[Maceo1]

There was an Old Man of Quebec,
A beetle ran over his neck;
    But he cried, 'With a needle,
    I'll slay you, O beetle!'
That angry Old Man of Quebec.

[Hepcat]

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

Unless you're Edward Lear you're plagiarizing.

Do it right or not at all.

There comes once a year the dark fest Halloween
With tricksters and treaters not other times seen.
Scarecrows and witches, plus sometimes a ghost
In masks by Ben Cooper and even Don Post.
For Mars bars and Cheetos they're all very keen.

[Maceo1]

you're plagiarizing.

If you do not know the definition of a word...you should not use it.

Unless you're Edward Lear you're plagiarizing.

I don't see it written anywhere that they have to be original. Point out the author, if you want, but the personal comments aren't necessary.

Here's one that a71678 originated and I fine tuned for the Halloween boxes a71678 is planning to give out this year:

The werewolf he learned all too soon
To pull on some trousers by noon.
If it got dark by chance
And he weren't wearing pants,
The ladies would see his full moon.

    WARNING: Irish Limericks Ahead  (over 250,000 tortured)

A Wolf, wanting lamb for his dinner,
Growled out, "Lamb, you wronged me, you sinner."
Bleated Lamb - "Nay, not true!"
Answered Wolf - "Then 't was Ewe -
Ewe or lamb, you will serve for my dinner."

[Flower]

We asked the Sorceress for assistance.
And she came from a very far distance.
To vanish the brain dead,
Without any bloodshed.
Soon, the zombies will know nonexistence.

Here's another one that a71678 originated and I then polished:

The dark evening in Frankenstein's lab
When the monster did rise from his slab,
The mad doctor was billed
For the power he swilled
But poor Igor was handed the tab!

The zombie is looking very chunky.
We hope that she's not spawning a monkey.
She spawned one named Snozzle.
With a nose like a nozzle.
Feeding it mashed brains, that smell so funky.

[Hepcat]

Here's another one that a71678 wrote to which I added some polishing touches:

The werewolf infested with fleas
Requested the vet help him please.
Her prescription of powder
Soon caused him to doubt her
Since all he could do then was sneeze.
