    There once was a poster on Netscape

    who decided it would be amusing to pen a "racy" limerick.

    He wrote for a while

    But all his attempts

    pretty much sucked.

                It reminds him he said

                  An awesome fellow named Ind-o-six,

                  Keeps everyone rolling with his bag-o-tricks

                  I think he's kinda hot...

                  Sometimes I think about things I should not...

                  Meaningless pretty words I dread,

                  I'll take a sense of humor instead,

                  It makes me want to rub his cute little round head!

                  (What can I say? I'm sort of kinky that way!)

                  :)

                      Yes, Doyle Redland is a master of the art of poetry. If I had his skill I would share it as others have done. But since I do not, I feel compelled to share some thoughts on a few of my favorites.

                      My personal favorite:

                      There's a place in France

                      Where the naked ladies dance.

                      There's a hole in the wall

                      Where the boys see it all.

                      They should really wear clothes or at least plug the holes in the wall.

                      I've also pondered the meaning of this one for quite some time:

                      Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear

                      Fuzzy wuzzy had no hair

                      Fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy

                      Was he?

                      Were they making fun of that bear? Is that like calling a fat guy slim? I don't think that's very nice at all. I know it's not really poetry but I felt that I had to share. Oh, and don't even get me started on that old woman who swallows flies. That nut job needs to be in an asylum.

                        This contest just geve me a fit

                        Dolye Redland's a talentless twit

                        judge, reporter, and poet?

                        It's a sham and I know it

                        You must think I got brains full o' $hit

                          Your verses are tired and whack

                          style, humor and rhythm they lack

                          they flow with a thud

                          Bronx Bombs with a dud

                          Hush up and stop talking smack

                            I prefer a free-flow form

                            It isn't necessary for poetry to always rhyme

                            I felt what Doyle Redland was saying

                            But it isn't all about me

                            Is it?

                              Perhaps there's herb in your muffin'

                              but poetry rhymes

                              and Seuss was sublime

                              so just go back to your puffin'

                              Btw, this IS about you.

                                Why is it you ask me to lighten?

                                My blackness you trying to whiten?

                                within my hilarity

                                is crystal-sharp clarity

                                that causes the dullard to frighten

                                    Mary had a little lamb,

                                    some lobster and some prunes.

                                    A glass of milk, a piece of pie,

                                    and then some Maccaroons.

                                    It made the naughty waiters grin

                                    to hear her order so:

                                    For when they carried Mary out

                                    her face was white as snow!!!
