Please make no mistake,
This teacher is fake,
I made him up in my head.
If my inspirations I say
I will surely pay,
So a riddle, for pleasantries sake.

(pm me with any ideas with who I based it on)

Long time ago
a teacher I had
a teacher who's breath was so terribly bad
we all tried to move
our heads far away
as he came down upon us
to tell us and say
your work is not good,
your work is so bad
it makes me look
as a teacher
so bad

but we all were so sick of the tar ridden breath
that we went one by one to the head of our form
and told them our tale
of how we'd be good
if only that teacher just could be understood
that the way he did breath
and make us all heave

so we had a new person
who came from McPhersons
who smelt of primroses
and miminisosa
we all just sat there
our faces a balnk
while our new teachers'
feelings just stood there and sank

this class is unteachable
the children so bad
if i didn't know better
I'd think they were mad
but the mix of her perfume
with the tar ridden hue
made each of us ill
with a terrible chill

so after a term of us all being ill
we had yet another teacher
one who was still
they talked very softly
and never got cross
and we all got awards
for doing our Maths
and after that term
we all got an A
but the wonderful teacher - the school sent away!

(no, it's all make believe honest!)

Oi! You two! (Flicks virtual piece of chalk at pupil's ears).....

Err -excuse me sir - but limmericks are totally different from poetry - limmericks are supposed be a certain length in number and end with a funny quip. Ours are Peotry which does not follow the same rules - and please sIR - no don't throw more chalk at me!

Comber, J., do try to keep up!!

A limerick is a form of verse, and as such does not differ from 'poetry'.

The limericks thread, when revived from temporary limbo, was redefined in order to be a home for all poetic offerings.

That's given me an idea, though......

How about a limerick version of 'Votum'?

OMG - pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee no!

The very thought that RR may
attempt the votum words a play
sends shivers up and down my spine
that Latin haunts me all the time

So please RR please have some care
or all we OB's will be in despair
and watch it fall or blanch - our hair
the Votum said in poem dispare

I agree with RR - but perhaps we should ask the Moderator to moderate?? meanwhile Josh and Jude (the two Js!) we love your creativity. Keep at it!!

I'd like some of whatever it is Jude is on, my creativity has upped and gone recently - it never was in the form of poetry. I was bottom of the form at English. When I got a B in my O level English DR said she thought the computer must have made a mistake!!! So much for encouraging pupils.

Katherine - it's called sleep deprivation! For some reason (my inner psychi and all that unconscious stuff) I have for weeks been on and off sleeping - it's worse than water torture - for a week while I had flu and chesticles infection I slept all day and all night (well when I could breathe I slept - all propped up like!!) then I went days without more than 3 hours sleep - so last night (which feels like a week ago already) I took a sleeping pill - TNA! I finally got to sleep as the birds started their morning screetch (well I am in the cotswolds!), and got up at 0715 to shower, put eyes in, apply facial mask, dress and take dangerous vehicle on road to take daughter to college to then go on to spend the day with a friend...

Plus I have pills to make me a happy bunny and to keep me alive, but you don't want those coz you have to be a really sad bunny first.....

I am delerious need sleeeeeep.... daughter needs biology revision help - argh!!!
So - it's no magic potion - if only it was
then I'd be famous and have lots of dosh
I would travel and have a chauffer
and sllep on a plane all up in the air
what a wonderful thought
I'll try to hold on
when I get me to bed and try hard to snuggle down
that i'm floating away
on a cloud way up high
and the sun is all shinny
and up in the sky.....


ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BTW - David by the sea in Cornwall - err - who is Josh???????? I'm just a humble being who puts my real name on things and can't do the sherlock holmes of Su-do-ko of names in here!

He may tell you himself, Jude. However, the answer is (as all answers to everything are) to be found on the Limerick thread; 'tis plain for all to see.

Josh is Josh Bell - "Emperor" of "Rock School" fame...

this thread was getting going - and has suddenly come to a stop - my ears are still sore from all that chalk throwing!
