See if you can write a Limerick based on Lois and Clark: the New Adventures of Superman.
I've written a few to start us off, see if you can do better! (and you probably can).
Post yours here as well so they don't get lost in the shuffle.

There was an old editor in chief, Who’s reporters were giving him grief. His heart couldn’t take it, So he told them to quit, So his tension could feel some relief.
*****
There was a rich man in the city, Who’s power made him seem so witty. He climbed as far as allowed, And from the sky he plowed, To the sidewalk that was very gritty.
*****
There was a strange man from New Krypton, Who’s brains were much less than his brawn, He threw folks aside, To their comments was snide, So bored was he that he yawned.
*****
Don't think about the pink elephant... I dare you!

Hey, why not. When it comes to writing, this is about my speed. And sorry if they're not technically accurate. ****** There was a young man called Clark Who proposed to his love in the park She turned him down Which sure made him frown So he went home to sulk in the dark. ****** There was an old doctor named Lane Whose ideas were all quite inane Fake lips made of rubber?! His family did shudder Even Mick Jagger would think it insane. ****** Perry White was a fan of the King He’d sometimes shout out without thinking “Great shades of Elvis!” His wife couldn’t take this It eventually drove her to drinking. ****** She thought he was shy of commitment His excuses left her needing treatment I’ve got books to renew And my rent’s overdue I’m awaiting my Cheese of the Month shipment

There once was a boy from a farm Who could lift up a truck with one arm, So he put on some tights And took off for flights To save less-abled people from harm.

My job is desperately dull at the moment. ****** The was a bad guy from the future Who was the most dastardly creature And while travelling through time He committed a crime Then told everyone Clark Kent was Super. ****** There was a girl always in trouble Which caused her insurance to double Her boyfriend who flies And has poor taste in ties Wished she’d just live safe in a bubble. ****** There was a mad scientist named Klein Who the ladies thought truly divine They found him delightful And not at all frightful Despite his receding hairline. ******

Here is my lame attempt at a limerick...
There once was a man named Kent. Saving people is how his nights were spent. When his girlfriend found out, For a while she did pout, Until she discovered what being Super meant.

Oh, lord I started and now I can't stop....Heaven help us all...
There once was a young reporter His world travels made him quite the explorer Then he moved to the city, Found a girl who was pretty, And from then on he would just adore her. ********************************************** There once was a man named Perry. You wouldn't exactly call him merry. But when you played something by Elvis, He would rotate his pelvis, And he would seem down right cheery. ********************************************** There once was an amnesiac. And the world was under attack. An asteroid was falling, His parents came calling, And hit him till his memory came back. ********************************************** Jimmy worked for The Daily Planet. But he had a very bad habit. When his friends would kiss, Then start to undress, He would show up and they would stop...damn it. ********************************************** There once was a man called Dan. He tended to think that he was the man. He would talk down her friend. Ugly gifts he would send. Yet he was surprised when from him she ran. ********************************************** There once was a woman named Lane. By many she was thought insane. The things she would do for a story, Included dressing quite whore-y, But at least no one could call her mundane. ********************************************** There once a woman named Mindy. To everyone she seemed down right ditsy. She was actually quite smart, Turning cunning into a form of art. She would turn most men into her Patsy. ********************************************** There once was a man who was Super. He was the biggest Boy Scout Trooper. He would make charity runs, Save toys for nuns, Though he looked a lot like Max Hooper.

It's turned into a disease! It is taking over! Someone save me from them....HELP! SUPERMAN!
He looked really good in black. He had proven he wasn't some hack. He was in great shape, And he did have a cape, But a Bat-suit wasn't on his rack. *********************************************************** She asked to see his cowl. All he could do is scowl. He said he wasn't the Black Knight, She said “Yeah, right.” He was not Batman he did howl. *********************************************************** Here once was a man who was rich. A reporter and clone he did switch. He was quite the jerk, But his plan didn't work, And he eventually ended up in ditch. *********************************************************** She was obsessed with Superman. But she had a secret plan. She made a data base, And got the wrong face. So now Jimmy is her man. *********************************************************** There once was a babe named Kal-El. And his parents put him in a protective shell, He was sent down to Earth, Eventually won a Kerth. And in love with Lois he fell. *********************************************************** There once was a man who could fly. He would soar up high in the sky. He said he loved her, She said he was her brother, And made him just want to die. *********************************************************** Martha was a mother to Clark. As a boy she would take him to the park. She loved him completely, And smiled at him sweetly, When he came in crying cause he was scared of the dark. *********************************************************** There once was a man of steel. Villains thought him a heel. They were sore losers, Some became boozers. Cause evil had lost it's appeal.

Not diseased, but still bored. :rolleyes:
******
There was a poor desk plant in pain Who hoped for a drink, but in vain "I need water!" it cried But then curled up and died When she gave it coffee again.
******
There was a man-eater called Cat, Who invited guys back to her flat Young, bald, fat or tall She had sampled them all On the desk or the bed or the mat.

These are hilarious! Keep 'em comin!! I have to say my fave is this one... Jimmy worked for The Daily Planet. But he had a very bad habit. When his friends would kiss, Then start to undress, He would show up and they would stop...damn it. Damn you Jimmy Interuptus!! <shakes fist at air>

A NEW ONE FROM GP!
There once was a show about Lois and Clark. No body liked the New Krypton arch. We loved the blue crest, But hated the rest. But that happens when they jumped the shark.

I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence? I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

There once was an attorney named Mayson Not to be confused with the great Perry Mason She chased after Clark But she only had bark Cause it was Lois that Clark was a-chasin'
----------------
There once were some sisters named Newtrich Whose laser made Clark's powers switch Now when Lois used the powers It was her turn for cold showers Or to take Clark away to scratch that itch.
(Needless to say, it started out about UltraWoman and quickly degenerated.)

Woody you are grate! Perhaps I will come up with a new one...now...
John Doe was a man who was very sly. And he hated the man who could fly. He became president. Though he wasn't a legal resident. But he was such a darn nice guy.

Here I go again...
There once was a man named Clark. Who Larry said was fit for the Ark. But Lois was not. So the machine Clark shot. And Larry's mother at him did bark!

I should be working on other things...but I decided to do this instead...enjoy...
Clark could bend steel with his hands. He could foil the most dastardly of plans. Then came an asteroid of great girth. He hit it then fell to Earth. And was found by a man who collected cans.

you know, I've been MIA for the last month due to my move across the country and figuring out the insanity that is my new job, but I'm stopping back here today to see how everyone is doing and to see what stories I've been missing out on, I'm happy to discover guineapants once again resurrecting this thread!
