    We've seen people's creativity in the photoshop thread - are there any wordsmiths here?

    Guide to writing limericks

    Bonus points for Rockets and NBA references - don't just steal limericks from elsewhere - I'm challenging you to write your own!

    Here are couple to start you off.

    There was a great guard named Nash,
    and another in the East called Flash.
    They get all the praise
    for their wonderful ways
    But they won't win if their big men don't bash.

    and retro NBA-style

    There once was a giant named Wilt
    With mighty foes on the court he would tilt.
    His basketball plays
    were sure to amaze,
    but on 20,000 his legend was built.

    There once was a Rocket named Smith
    Who could jet with the best he played with
    When he ran out of steam
    He would dish to the Dream
    Before Maxwell committed his fifth.

    I got a nice hummer from Liz
    I don't think she quite knew the biz
    It sure made me frown
    she sneezed and bit down
    And now there's some blood when I whiz

    There once was a man from Karpas
    Whose balls were made out of brass
    In stormy weather
    They clanged together
    And lightning flew out of his ass!

    There once was a Rocket named Max
    Who shined his own head with hot wax
    Once he dashed up the stairs for a tad
    Forever was dubbed then as “Mad”
    By TV viewers, bbsers and hacks..

    There was a center named Deke
    Who was fluent in Wookie and Greek
    When he spoke to you
    There's not much one can do
    Just nod and smile, but don't speak

    There once was a really dumb thread
    About limericks you could do in your head
    It was constantly mocked
    It too soon would be locked
    And Fatty really needs some good pineapple.

    There once was a Rocket named Vin
    This forward was far from thin
    He was an all star in Milwaukee
    Now he’s DNP – drank too much vod-ky
    And his big butt is stuck to the bench.

    A poster named Fatty said his part
    About a thread he did not even start.
    That's the problem I say
    about young folks today
    They just don't appreciate great art.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    There was a commissioner Stern
    Who swore he'd make JVG learn.
    But a hundred grand fine
    did not get him in line,
    And Houston loved Coach in return.

    There once was a man named Joe Gunn
    Who in bed was supposed to be fun.
    A defect in his bod
    Cause a split in his rod
    And two heads are better than one.

    There once was a man full of malice.
    Today he was a little more than callous.
    For his favorite team lost,
    Making him ever so cross,
    Causing him to scream, "DUCK FALLAS!"

    I present to you this highly offensive limerick I made up in class after a racial discussion last semester.


    There once was a limey named Lew,
    Who wanted to capture a Jew
    He flung many a penny
    but couldn't catch any
    So instead went to pub for a brew.
