On national limerick day
What's UKC got to say?
From Three Pebble Slab
To how to fight flab
What poetic wisdom will play?

In reply to Offwidth:

I think that a five line scan
Is hard, but I'll do what I can
Though I'd rather be climbing
I'll stick with the timing
And reply to Offwidth Man
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

Both these examples are crap
You shouldn't have opened you're trap
In a limerick battle
There's no room for prattle
You'll see that my rhymes are on tap

OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:

An old fashioned limerick fight
Is a bit like our climbing onsight
An artistic tussle
With brain more than muscle
But any old theme is all right.
Graeme G 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:

Sorry but i don't agree
It's important that all speech is free
Though some posts on here are mince
Including those about that guy called Prince
The only person who's right is me

It's funny you talk about muscle
And with lyrics you're trying to hustle
I don't like to brag
You're a doe, I am a stag!
No point keeping it under my bushel

In reply to Babika:

The style should of course rhyme and scan
And we'd all like to see some elan
But it's simple in form
And so still quite the norm
For some slips in style not to ban.
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:

Oh hark at this so macho spray
From such a proud phallus display
It could've fit here
Contemporaneous with Lear
But not so well written today
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

You'll have to do better than that
I'll use you as my door mat
That Offwidth bloke
He's a bit of a joke
His poetic skills fall quite flat
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to Father Noel Furlong:

Prince said its a sign o the times
When he talked of his social declines
And of course you are wrong
When you bang on your gong
But ne'er mind if it has wit and it rhymes
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:


Oh dear why this frontage so ghoul.
With lines that make one look a tool.
Not a man, more a sow,
Or a mule or a cow,
With a mind so disturbing and cruel.
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

You're retort, for the job is not fit
You make yourself look like a twit
As this claptrap you spout
The crowd will all shout
What's he ever done on Grit?

When engaged in a limerick fight
Make sure you're grammatically tight
My one criticism
Of your fine witticism
Is the contraction 'you're' wasn't right
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to patrick_b:

Now I've had time to reflect
Grammar will get my respect
It wasn't my fault
Don't rub the wound with salt
I blame autocorrect

In reply to Offwidth:

There once was young man named honnold
Who's trouble always was three fold
He never used a rope
A fall meant no hope
Of finding a third rhyme with honnold


Sorry UKC. At least I tried.
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:

Oh ouch I say, ouch and then some
The insults continue to come
Though try as I might
With my less manly fight
will sticks and stones soon seen more welcome?
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

Sorry if my prose made you frown
I'll try to tone it back down
Though my words may seem tender
This isn't surrender
I maintain that you are a clown

OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to patrick_b:

It's a rule with our site breed of pedant
With their superior noise oh so splendent
Though they poke with their rules
they look such picky fools
When they end up both hoist and defendant
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to Greasy Prusiks:

Its true that this man who's called Honnold
enjoys climbing the reverse of coddled
But I'd like to see
If his climbings so free
With a gut full of Ronald McDonald's

 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

I simply must do some work
Thinking of these is a shirk
Now I really must run
Thanks all, it's been fun
Especially to Offwidth, you birk

Only kidding 'Offers 'twas good.
OP Offwidth 12 May 2016
In reply to George Fisher:

My next meeting starts at ten thirty
And despite my posts being quite shirty
I had some fun too
Even though it was you
So don't feel your rhymes have much hurt 'e
Graeme G 12 May 2016
In reply to Father Noel Furlong:

Someone disliked my post
Well really, that's just the most
I posted with anonymity
And was met with enmity
When i find them, they'll be toast

There once was a man from sprocket
Who went to the moon in a rocket
The rocket went bang
His bol***ck went twang
And found his Pr**k in his pocket



I thank euw

There once was a man named Joe Brown
Who's climbing was of high renown
A first ascent, he did grab
Of three pebble slab
Twas always the jewel in his crown
 George Fisher 12 May 2016
In reply to Greasy Prusiks:

Climbing three pebble slab, what a hero!
Stands Joe Brown like emporer Nero
When it comes to the grade
Concencus will fade
I think we'll agree it's E zero

In reply to George Fisher:
Have you heard of a man named Dawes?
On hard grit he rewrote the laws
And on Indian face
He did win the race
Despite some hairstyle flaws

In reply to Greasy Prusiks:

I don't want to second guess ya
But you know about Reinhold Messner?
He was king of the hill
And it gave him a thrill
To fly up mount-ains like a Cessna
In reply to Offwidth:

There was a young man called Honnold
Who, compared with us, was of different mould.
He floated up rock
like a bit of a cock,
But surely he's worth Olympic Gold!
 Thrudge 12 May 2016
In reply to Offwidth:

There was a young fellow named Ghandi
Who went in a bar for a shandy
And with his loin cloth
He wiped the froth off
And the barman said
"Blimey, that's handy!"

In reply to Tony Naylor:

Thank you all and see you next year. I know its not a patch on some of the previous UKC poetic efforts, but at least we had a go.

In reply to George Fisher:

My reply is all about Coxsey
Who's climbing is pretty damn foxy
Her dynos are drastic
Her footwork fantastic
Perhaps her fingers, she coats with epoxy?
