    This is simple. You know what a limerick is: Two rhyming lines with three beats, followed by two rhyming lines of two beats each, followed by another three-beat line that rhymes with the first two. Humor is highly desirable.
    I will provide a starting line in the first post. Copy that line and add a line. Next person copy those two lines and add a line, etc. If you complete the limerick, also provide the opening line for the next one.

    Here are the first 2 lines -


    The war in Iraq is so bad
    I increasingly feel we've been had

    If you vote for their friends you are mad.

    2nd Verse, not like the first:

    I bought me a Prius last June
    My friends thought me daft as a loon.

    My friends thought me daft as a loon.
    I said, "You'll regret it"
    When gas you can't get it
    Or the price goes up to the moon.

    I'm on minimum wage
    I can't find me a page
    Without money and sex life is boring!

    I avoid all the masses
    Don't put money in baskets
    I don't care about who is the chastiest

    I once had a puppy named Skipper
    He was happy and bouncy and chipper

    He was happy and bouncy and chipper
    But Skipper got older
    And Skipper got bolder
    And he has become a lot hipper

    This man was obscene
    He lived in a dream
    He assured me 9/11 and Saddam were linked

    The neocons led me astray
    The neocons had their own way

    The neocons had their own way
    And then one-by-one
    They were coming undone
    Come tomorrow they'll all have to pay

    I was hired as Tom Foley's page
    I admired the guy, what a sage!

    Then one sunny day last May
    He whispered to me "I'm gay"
    And it threw Dennis Hastert into a rage

    In '04 I voted for Bush
    because I thought he had a cute tush

    His tush may be cute
    But his mind makes me puke
    And his cronies have jobs that are cush


    I don't think I'll make it to payday
    I think I will have to say "Mayday"

    I don't think I'll make it to payday
    I think I will have to say "Mayday"
    And think about debt
    That I haven't paid yet
    Like Congress now in its spending hey-day.


    The mid-term elections are tense,
    I wish people would get off the fence
