War Limericks!
If these are a bit crap, it's cause I knocked em up a bit sharpish...
There was an ol' bloke called Hussein
they said was insane in the brain
made Bush's blood boil
controlled all the oil
a patsy for Ground Zero pain
My friends are all glued to the telly
as we give the Iraqis some welly
though I know it is sick
well, I'd much rather lick
all the sweat drops off Saddam's dark belly
Anyone else?
Write some more like that, Paul and we'll get the troops to drop them over Baghdad.... they're bound to have Hussein and his supporters running for the hills.
my partner is driving me mad
he says that the war is all bad
yet will he switch off the telly?
no, he's growing all smelly
glued to the news from Baghdad.
The CIA men with their guns
Went after Saddam Hussein's sons;
Oh, what a disaster!
They killed one called Nasser
(Well, he never did score many runs!)
Not bad!
Here we go - slightly drunk and watching question time:
There is an old goon called Geoff Hoon
Who frankly's a bit of a loon
He wants a quick war
With some "shock and Awe"
He must believe in the man in the moon!
Another alcohol fuelled rant:
He cites the Geneva Convention
Against crimes just too gross to mention
From Guantanamo bay
And Baghdad to Bombay
Is George Bush just an evil invention?
There was a site called ABC
Where writers could send stuff for free
But several young Turks
(To a man boring berks)
Made everyone else turn and flee
"Everyone" eh.
Hmmm.
There once was a troll, rather boring
who couldn't stop putting his oar in
he complained of the tedium
not seeing his medium
of trolldom was leaving us snoring
By the way, "everyone" means "his/her mates" in this troll's language.
I suspect "his".
Some crackers here - I'm hopeless at limericks. But more please!
I’m finding it all rather sad
that theyre dropping big bombs on Baghdad
Why, if the missiles are ‘smart’,
do they tear the wrong buildings apart,
leaving innocent folks bandage-clad.
I'm not much cop either Tony.
That's pretty good, Choose. You packed a lot into that fourth line though!
Tony, I demand that you have a go. We still have your last effort ringing in our ears!
An uptight oilman from Texas once pretended
That God told him divisions should be mended
He launched a war on Iraq
And when they fought back
Said 'that's not what the good lord intended'.
There once was a lovely spot in space
That was home to the whole human race
In the name of doing good
They grabbed all they could
And now its no longer their place
The following is for Louise Christian:
There once was a Geneva Convention
That at Guantanemo no one was to mention
Till some boys of Uncle Sam
Got themselves into a jam
And remembered theres rules for detention
There's a war on? Don't mean to sound terse,
But don't trivialise it in verse,
All your pent-up frustration,
Like so much flatulation,
Makes us all feel not better, but worse.
There once was an internet forum
That was widely renowned for decorum
Breaking wind was forbidden
'This isn't a midden'
And acceptable verse is decided by qorum.
PM Blair who some say is a plunker
Launched a war on Saddam the wunker
Brave Tone led the attack
On the good folk of Iraq
From the safety of his Whitehall bunker
There was an old man from Tikrit
Whom the world called a nasty old git
But the Iraq population
Defended their nation
From being covered in star-spangled sh*t
Brilliant neil!
We were told modern warfare was neater,
This scrabble for oil, short and sweeter,
But as casualties mounted
The cost became counted
In bodies, not pennies, per litre.
