Ritter Helmuth Schlessick von Ulm

a strategy one shouldn't spurn.

There once was a countess of ulm..
Whose fortunes became exceedingly glum
Two or three shatters one day
Took her armor away
Leaving her looking rather like.. gollum..

[Apologies to Steven Brust, whose poem I have adapted]

A Crone from the isle of Man
Wrote limericks that wouldn't quite scan
When told this was so
She replied, "Yes, I know,
It's because I always try to fit as many unnecessary syllables into the very last line as I possibly can."

Sorry, there are two more adaptations that I can't resist sharing.

[First attempt]

There was a Sidhe Lord from Eriu
Who tried writing limerics in haiku
But

*Cue groans, please.*

[Second attempt]

There was a Sidhe Lord
From Eriu, whose lim'ricks all
Look'd like haiku. He

Said with a laugh "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."

Two Ermorians suffering from cold
Tried a maneuver both stupid and bold
What a shock when they died
Attacking the angel they spied..
Their fates, and the angel, manifold.

Why is Ermor so much fun to pick on?

There once was a player with Ermor
who thought deadly scales would help win more
but the players all said
undead should be dead
They agreed to gang up on poor Ermor

This is my favorite so far. :)

but I messed up the meter.
Ive changed it to
Undead should be dead

A Lord Guardian marched forth from the Keep,
to bury some heresy deep.
But he died much too soon,
on the second of June,
when a lowly Druid put him to sleep.

In Marignon there lived a priest
Who inspected virgins to do his piece
But one of them lied
And he made her his bride
And all of his Blood Hunting ceased.


I have to poke at the Blood Slave issue..... it's become a sore spot for me, I'll try to come up with one that is less tame at some point. ;)

Re: Dom 3 Limericks?
 
I asked for the reasons to buy it
and I finally thought that Id try it
but now I dont eat
or get any sleep
Ive lost weight on the "Dom3 Diet"
