Ok guys for those of u who dont know, a lymric is a poem that involves rhyming. Its format is like this...

Line
Line that's last word rhymes with the first line's last word
Line
Line that's last word rhymes with the 3rd line's last word
line that's last word rhymes with the 1st and 2nd line's last word

anyways, my idea is that we make a lymric that people add to. once one is done, a person adds another line that kind of makes some sort of story that follows the first stanza. Ill make the first line....

There once was a man named lee.

There once was a man named Lee
he fell off an apple tree
but when he awoke
He knew something was broke,
Because his head was under his knee

The next day he went to the beach
And under his chin was a leech
It sucked all the blood
and he tripped in the mud
And the leech and him got a bruise each

His head hurt a lot the next day
He wondered if the leech was okay
So when it said yes
It relieved ALL his stress
(Need 2nd beat count)

And so like that went on the day

But as he laid down


Methinks Deadly got a bit confused there and missed Jackson's message, but I summarized how I think the limerick story looks so far.

He started to drown

And so he was hitting the hay
Ready to sleep the day away
But as he laid down
He started to drown


Since he forgot he was still at the bay

Sorry, I just stole another punchline

But, it had a small hole and didn't quite float.

Sorry Hyper, Deadly was first

He then rented a red sail-boat
But, it had a small hole and didn't quite float.
He then met Poseidon

And the dolphin he rode on

That was a pretty hard one to rhyme with.
