Motley called a girl Smelly Melly

We know 'cause we saw it on telly

She wasn't best pleased

As she was constantly teased

Motley called a girl Smelly Melly
We know 'cause we saw it on telly
She wasn't best pleased
As she was constantly teased
And so they had a fight in some Jelly!

Grimaldine, when being of the Grey,

Found himself laying in some hay

He had a fight with Hordriss,

[I know this is a fun thread, but there are guidelines for writing limericks; not just about rhyme, but about rhythm as well; and if a rhythmic pattern isn't maintained, it does get more difficult to keep the poem itself (and therefore the fun) going. Which is perhaps why this one had ground to a halt.]

Then let out a bored hiss

[One more line, and this becomes the thread's 64th completed limerick! (Unless I've miscounted.)]

He just had nothing left to say.

While Lillith sat counting her sweeties

A Goblin pinched one of her Cheeksies

I know this thread is for fun, but using a word that doesn't really rhyme, nor really exist, takes away the element of challenge, which for me is part of the fun. So could I please suggest changing 'Cheeks's' to 'treaties'?

Bzzzzzarp! Hitting the English language with a sledgehammer is all part of the fun. I seem to remember one day at school in a Latin lesson (Brother Mace would be impressed...) our task was to write poetry (in English - Latin would be far too hard) about some bloke called Horatius who beat an entire army single-handed - or something like that. I seem to remember a couple of lines of my effort read something like this:

And so the knights used their axes
To make the bridge fall down in stackses...

And I thought that was a stroke of genius. What else rhymes with "axes" anyway?

Faxes, waxes and taxes.
