(moses) Once Shakespeare awoke with a scream
(moses) His underclothes dripping with cream
(moses) 'twas just a commission
(moses) of nocturnal emission
(moses) Which he dubbed "A Mid-Slumber Night-Stream"
(urge) ugh
(urge) t'was Bacon who actually wet -- his drawers while he peacefully slept --
+though the jury's still out -- Michael Jackson's no doubt -- helping Franky
+to deal with his fret
(urge) (sorry, was sperm of the moment there)
(moses) heheheh
(urge) limerick form is fun...it writes itself
(moses) A limerick of classic proportion
(moses) Should have meter and rhyme and a portion
(moses) of humor quiet lewd
(moses) and a frightfully crude
(moses) or impossible sexual contortion
(urge) hehe
(amir) heheh
* amir applauds
(urge) yes the sexual bit is the heart -- for without it (or mention of farts)
+-- it's a nursery pome -- which is safe for the home --
+blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah-art
(urge) see?
(amir) heheh
(amir) and which we never would deign to call art?
(urge) hm...poor meter there, amir.
(moses) but not quite what we'd call fine art
(urge) get with it
(urge) 'a fine art', yeah, that'd work
(urge) 'but it wouldn't be true to the art'
(urge) ?
(moses) best yet
(urge) hehe, why thank you
(urge) is this a game anyone's played before?  volleying limericks?
(urge) i'm thinking you could really drive someone nuts with it.
(moses) The first line (like this) is called serve
(urge) taken up by the partner with nerve
(moses) But to get to the end
(urge) i would not recommend
(moses) Throwing your partner a curve
(urge) hehehe
(moses) not bad!
* urge slaps moze's hand
* moses hi-5's urge
(urge) the team lim'rick requires some panache
(urge) [irish rap]
(urge) [hehe]
(moses) And it helps when you break out the stash
(urge) with your mind in a spin
(moses) The rhymes can begin
(urge) but you'll need to have  plenty of cash
(moses) woo-hoo!
