Limerick Friday XI: A Festivus For The Rest Of Us


Since I’m feeling the holiday spirit (translation: shotgunning Irish coffee and passing out under the desk in my cubicle) and since many of you will be out for most or all of next week for Christmas, I expanded Limerick Friday this week. Therefore, I am proud to introduce and give you … the Ultra-Extravagant, Super-Sized, Double-Whammy, Feats-Of-Strength, Airing-Of-Grievances Festivus Limerick Spectacular!

Carry on …

It’s Christmas-time in our Raleighwood city
I’m guessing no bonuses coming down the SEO chimney
Use Amazon to avoid trips to the mall
Chewbacca shops at Wookie Big ‘N’ Tall
Marco and Etoria are coming over to put up my Christmas tree

Where are all the good TV shows?
I miss Seinfeld and even Klinger’s nose
There ain’t a damn thing good on TV
Don’t wait for commercials anymore to pee
Creative ideas went somewhere that nobody knows

Casie’s posts are staring to scare me
Every weekend, a vomiting jamboree
Tricking drunk dudes into bed
Then hooking up with Muppets instead
The hobbit’s in for quite a time on New Year’s Eve

Holiday goodies galore
Excuses to eat like a boar
Everything ends in “chocolatey prize”
Got tree trunks where you once had thighs
Don’t complain when you can’t fit through the door

Family hides from him on Thanksgiving
Mentions a girlfriend and they all know he’s fibbing
Can’t use a car wash without breaking shite
Helps girls move and then they just say, “Good night”
Try something else because this ain’t much of a living

“Stranger Than Fiction” was a pretty good flick
You just never know when from these movies you pick
Like the “The Truman Show” for Jim Carrey
Will Farrell wanted a drama he could carry
Still liked him better on “Old School” when he was getting sick

Dad gets a sailing calendar annually
Mom wanted some freaking Enya CD
It’s a banner year in our holiday household
Predictable, cheesy gifts just never get old
I spiked the egg nog, so I think I’ll have a drink or three

One writer left and he’s got humps like a camel
Schizophrenic and dumb as a wood panel
If he hears a laugh he’ll shit in his pants
Then go off on more paranoid rants
Hell, now he’s lying about going to Channel

Two struggling bachelors who just don’t know what to do
From George Costanza they could learn a thing or two
What you’re doing is a disaster and a fright
So the opposite must necessarily be right
You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit, that’s your cue

A former coworker meeting at Danny’s
Literace can’t attend, he lunches with trannies
More people at lunch than where we used to work
Laughing and joking over cole slaw and pork
Wondering why Will keeps talking about dudes’ fannies

Limer-inks

  1. Scooters Limerick made quite the impression
    I'm not feeling very inspired this early morning session
    Casie dresses up her geese
    which made me laugh at least
    Chuck Berry will teach you lifes lessons.

    No bonuses, but a speech from a boor
    And our stockings just lay on the floor
    Hell, no one left here anyway
    Should be a festive MSI X-Mas Day
    Now Tom sells magazines door to door

  3. Dangerous toys abound for a holiday looter
    Brent's sister, with a BB gun he did shoot her
    Missile launchers we all did love
    Lawn darts were basically death from above
    That picture on Brent's blog looks a lot like Scooter

    no vomiting coming from me
    and dudes come to my bed willingly
    sad to miss the reunion lunch
    I'll be sitting at my desk eating captain crunch
    oh well pour one out for your homie

    limerick day is pretty slow
    was there an increase in work flow?
    how am i supposed to make it through the day
    limerick friday is usually the only way
    so come on now and give it a go

    went to a bar last night
    man in a reindeer sweater was an awful sight
    remember when brent wrapped the gnome
    and minnette took it home
    too bad the xmas sweater contest never took flight

    ReplyDelete
  6. Work is definitely stemming the flow
    Of limericks that make you go "Ho ho!"
    Deadlines before the holiday break
    Make Scooter say, "For christ's sake!"
    Remember when Brent beat Steven Seagal at Yu-Gi-Oh?

    There's a manatee joke in there somewhere
    Maybe Brandow can make you aware
    I liked Minnette personally
    Even though she weighed 3-0-3
    All that dood Tyler did was stare

    I miss barbecue and sweet tea
    And coworkers whose names rhymed with "pansy"
    I used to sit next to the printer
    And wore turtlenecks in the dead of winter
    If anyone would fly cross-country for Danny's, it would be me

    Festivus is my favorite time of year
    To hell with all this fake holiday cheer
    I have a grievance that I’d like to air
    My company doesn’t have a dime to spare
    TGRK once sodomized a reindeer

    You limerickists should just pack it in
    Either that or you better start crackin'
    Every good thing eventually ends
    So remember, my good friends
    Life is a ponytail and we are all Robert McCracken

    wow is that a limerick from the west coast
    tony austin the former host?
    that definitely makes my day
    more than pauls post on rudy gay
    glad you could put up a post

  12. A minimalist limerick

    Friday
    Payday
    With Austin
    I miss walkin'
    Holiday

  13. A limerick for Raleigh's own Clay Aiken
    Loves men like Tony Austin love bacon
    Seen more weiners than a certified moyel
    But without the prayers and with cooking oil
    Why he claims to be straight leaves my head shakin'

    ReplyDelete
  14. A sweater with tinsel and bells
    A triple double from Courntney Fells
    I'm not asking for much
    Maybe something from Hot Dog Costumes & Such
    Or maybe an autograph from my man Tim Wells

    ReplyDelete
  15. Why do all of these limericks rhyme?
    Usually there is at least one crime
    No limericks thus far from Will
    Maybe he has decided to chill
    Or taken a job as a street mime

    Steals reviews from Rolling Stones
    Then juggles other doods cajones
    Lies just to try to get a job
    Sends Chinless out the door with a sob
    When he thinks of Clay Aiken he moans

    still nothing from will, paul or brent?
    my day of limericks is almost spent
    all you people doing work
    are making me look like a big jerk
    screw you guys i'm going home so get bent!

    hahahahaha not really

  18. Poor Donald Rumsfeld's last day
    Resigns with plenty of Halliburton back pay
    Don't stand in front of Cheney while hunting
    Ignore any presidential grunting
    Follow these tips and you'll be A-OK

    ReplyDelete
  19. They'll miss Rumsfeld over in Iraq
    Even though in truthiness and strategy he did lack
    "Goodbye," say the soldiers with dismay
    "We'll be shooting Jawas with an Iran-Contra AK"
    "Maybe next Christmas with my family I'll be back"

    Some won made off with my butt plug
    I dissappeared after a sharp tug
    I'll bet it was that jabroney Cord
    Can't tell us lies anymore so he's bored
    What he doesn't know is i put my balls in his coffee mug

  21. Casie is a hard girl to impress
    Sees our limericks and dimisses them as a mess
    Back to the locker room for a young-boy peep show
    Then off clubbing down at Hobbits and Mo'
    At midnight, a costumed Chuck E. Cheese forbidden caress

    I rock and I shake and I rock some more
    Love my puppet so much I am sore
    Monosyllabic, so I make a strange sound
    But when a bunch of golf balls fall on the ground
    I immediately say, "They number exactly 54"

    We've all been treated like gimps
    By managers who are no more than chimps
    After the new year this place is done
    No lies left to be spun
    more integrity resides in pimps

    I miss when Eleanor was our greeter
    Now she works in produce at Harris Teeter
    Xavier was a dead ringer for Mr. Peanut
    That Homer Simpson lookalike had quite a gut
    Cal the robot said, "Take me to your leader"

    I miss the chicks with their fake tits

    Kelly, Cheryl and Cheryl's hot daughter
    Now we are likes lambs to the slaughter
    All this coffee is giving me the shits

    Any writers left for that sad sack Jack?
    He'll whine himself into a heart attack
    Payback is definitely a mofo
    Wouldn't you agree, you spineless schmo?
    Pardon me, can you take this knife out of my back?

  27. Great, Anonymous has made a return
    And it looks like they have some fury to burn
    For the last time, leave that place
    Like everyone else in this rat race
    Jeezus, it's like some jackasses never learn ...

  29. The Question I want to know
    is one for Mr Brandow
    Last night was the Cary Hoops Championship game
    I hope he did not come u lame.
    So Brent, How did it go?

  30. the Haiku Master gives limericks a go
    Dice K is going to blow
    The sox are wasting their money
    but i find it very funny
    They paid 100 million for another Hideo Nomo!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm guessing Brent's game was a folly
    Other team so big he said "Gollee"
    Then he wished he'd hired Serge Zwikker
    With him, at least their hopes would flicker
    Instead, he got schooled by Migjen Bakalli

  32. If you could have anything for Christmas what would it be?
    For me that's really easy to see.
    A Learjet, Citation or a pretty Beaver.
    But selfish I don't want to be here.
    I would give my wish to Brent so he could have a yellow scooter and the key.

  33. Hell yeah we won. Now i will hiberante for the winter.

    You chumps know i'm the champ
    We'd settle it on the court but you'd fake a cramp
    This streetball legend from the LBC
    Will break your ankles and in your pants pee
    No jumpin punks couldn't throw my shit with a ramp

    Cheryl's daughter was definitely a babydoll
    Drew stares from wall to wall
    The HR 'bot had good genes
    Her girl wore the hell out of some jeans
    If they ever made another sale I'd dance with her under that disco ball
