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 his stress.
But he knew by his pain that his wallet would pay

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

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
now suddenly, he's with a goat.

This goat was eating a muffin
Interest and fun were nothin'
The man stole it's food
He then met a dude

Both Jackson and urbanwolf comments are objected... In a limerick the 3rd and 4th lines HAVE to have a different rhyme scheme.

I have a question.
What about this, besides it being poetry, makes this "not a game"? It seems, with quite a few of those lines, you will end up with less than 7 words, which basically makes it spam.
Especially if you only make a line each.

well, nobody is so AP addicted here to complain if you move this to forum games, but locking this would be a pretty evil thing to do. I didn't post here because I'm a poetry failure, but it looks a very good thread to me.

Well I think Urbanwolf is a fine example of why you should...

But you shouldn't! Cause it is fun!
