There once was a monkey from Kailasa
Who went looking for a new master
He said "Awe is all nice"
"but at 320 gold I don't like the price"
So he formed Lanka and summoned something nastier.

There once was a giant from Gath
Who struggled with numbers and math
But though he can't add
His sword was not bad
At subtracting all who stood in his path

Once a lilot quite fond of castration,
Known to favor deep penetration,
Having failed at seduction
She surmised by deduction
The best end was a defenestration

Doo's meter, it sucks
Squirrelloid says "your a putz!"
Even the rhyme is dicky
Even I take my mickey
But to you all I simply say "Nuts!"

There once was a forumite named Sombre
Who most thought to be one mean hombre.
But then he got banned
'stead of smacked on the hand
Which altered the whole forum's timbre.

Maybe not 100% dominions but let's give it a try

in a cave this slave, once brave
in avalon they kept him in the grave
the wardens tortured him with fire
fire to shadow, price for conspire
fire to shadow, do not misbehave
////////////////////////////////////
"let's take this one oni cook
never took a look to a book
a pole was apple, flour is flower
taught her science to her daughter!"
thanks for the warning, br'er rook
////////////////////////////////
this machakan man liked to joke
said a yo mama to the wrong folk
the king's ear heard him, reported
the king's eye sawed him, judged
be hurted, sawed, to become smoke

Are they correct?

Not to dash your hopes about becoming a gaming limerick master, but no. They don't follow the appropriate meter for limericks. I appreciate that this is probably a lot more difficult for a non-native speaker, but you might have a look at some limerick resources. For starters, see Wikipedia's entry on limericks.

++ for enthusiasm, though :-)

i melted my mind trying to understand the whole amphibrach thing and i guess i completely missed the mood of them.
At least the rhyme scheme was right.
Mind enabling the privte message? i wanted to ask other things, but i don't think this is the place
