The Friday Fling Has Fun With Ghouls and Monsters in Limericks!
Friday Fling #152 October 28th 2011
It’s almost Halloween, and time for monsters, ghouls and other trick-or-treaters! We love them little critters here on the Friday Fling!
We also love Limericks! So we thought, why not put them together and make Limericks about monsters and ghouls!
As you almost certainly know, a Limerick is a five line poem of roughly 9-9-7-7-9 syllables in which the rhymescheme is AABBA. Usually the point is to amuse. For instance:
There once was a monster, Raoul,
who believed he was ever so cool.
He haunted a singles bar,
thought he’d get very far
showing ladies his monsterous tool.

A year or two ago Scotorum began writing what he called “Slim Limericks,” which have shorter lines of 7-7-5-5-7 syllables and in which there is an internal rhyme in the first line, but the first line does not rhyme with any others. In other words the rhymescheme is ABCCB. Like this:
A foolish ghoul named Raoul,
believing that he was hot,
went in a saloon
expecting that soon
he would find love; he did not.

This week the Friday Fling writes ghoulish Limericks and Slim Limericks about monsters and stuff!
Be sure to save time to read and comment ghoulishly on your fellow Zombies’ abominations – I mean your fellow Pals’ poetic masterpieces. Then, following a weekend of pre-Halloween merriment, take a friend trick-or-treating Monday night (before visiting the CPC’s Cheryl’s Pals’ line blog of course!).
As always, should the recommended format not be your preferred piece of Halloween candy, you may post your write in any format you like, or not.
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for October 21st
Congratulations Silver!
Welcome everyone to this special Halloween edition of the Friday Fling! Tonight we are having a poets’ version of a Halloween party by writing Limericks about monsters and ghouls. Let your monster muse loose and see what sort of cool ghoul Limerick or Slim Limerick you end up with! Yeah baby!
This is a slim Limerick I wrote a while back!
This is from my friend, Sonnet Diva (Lori) Thank you Lori for your contribution! :love:
I just realized that I goofed. The third and fourth line should be 7 syllables and I only wrote 6. I also did the same thing with my other Limerick that I will post shortly.
Here is another Limerick by Sonnet Diva (Lori)

Cool Ghoul
There once was a Ghoul who was cool,
he was tall,looked good,and ne’er drooled.
He was so hot to trot,that he thought he was naught,
then the ladies got hold o’ him…and he spooled!

A Knave’s Knight Out….
There once was a Knave who was brave,
who stood watch and watched o’er the graves.
So noble was he,that he took not a brie,
and was thus made a Knight….from a knave.

The Case of the Missing Label(As in Black Label alcohol)
Twas a swell party in town…yes it was.
All the gouls and the goblins were there.
Well,the Label went missing,
and the crowd was a hissing…
cause they don’t drink in their undies,
Just(only) bare.

A Bayou’s Sticky Rememberance……(Are you wearing your galoushes,dear ones?……)
Glistening,Globberly,Gooberly glitter,
Piled up on me and boggeled me critter.
We was hoopin’ n hollering loud as we could,
to attract the attention -of witchie be good.
Well,witchie was watchin’ & wobbelin’ nearby-
findin’ the makins of poobles pumpkin pie-
when the brew done exploded and landed therin-
and made a plum mess of me critter’s derriean(behind)
Well,critter and I headed back to the stealth,
we decided to wander-no more in spook’s wealth,
So the next ‘venture me wolf and me tripped-
was ladened with caution,and lots of waxed wicks!
gotta watch those October adventures on the Bayou…
especially on the 31st.

by Elfwing/Brenda Brite Happy trolling……:)
I know this may not be a limerick,,but I just couldn’t resist. It was there and it flowed out. I figured I better pen it before it vanished.
Billy’s Big,Boo Boo!
Blithy Billy Bit me Beak–
Blisterly blundering boob!
Well,the witch from the willy

Blumbbering Bertha’s Bewregalment…..
Blumbbering Bertha befuddeled his path,
bless her blubbering heart,
She had done seen a wizard,
went to town with his gizzard,
and now all she could do
was blow farts!(I don’t think he was complaining!)

Bless Bertha’s heart,she was just so overcome,that she couldn’t help herself….
Marvin’s Melicious Marshmallow (Or,what a sticky,gooy,uh…..)
Marvin’s Melicious Marshmallow
ran out to Melicia’s Mom’s Maze,
They hung out in the corn,
didn’t come out till morn-
and looked like the scarecrows–half dazed.
Well,Melicia said “Marvin what happened?”
All we did was stargaze and then napped some?
Well(Marvin said,quite to his dread),
“I think the Marshmallow done slapped us”
“Well,”said Melicia quite heavily,
“I don’t think we otta go steady,
cause out in the corn ‘fore
the first Nov morn
has wierd effects on me skin,and me teddie”
“Well”Marvin said to Melicia,
“It’s a good thing I didn’t kiss ya,
cause the last girl I kissed-
in situations like this
ended up like a troll and a misfit.”

I don’t think that that was any ordinary marshmellow–I think it was a sticky gooey ooey gooey of the inbetween spatical type. (A sticky gooey protoplasma that hadn’t evolved yet! LOL)
This blog is a total gas! Will try to come back later today and write some more. Blessing,folks,and have a good one.
Here is one by Sonnet Diva (Lori)
I have a friend named Count Dracula
He likes to bite and do the hula
Blood thirsty licking his lips
He then starts shaking his hips
Hula hooping feeling Ooh la la

Vinny and Frankie’s Escapades……(Or,where the heck are they? LOL)
Vinny Vamp and Frankie-went a walkin’ one night–
they set out to scare–the whole town to a dare–
all in the glossy moonlight.
Well,Vinny went out on a limb,
and Frankie–went out on a whim-
they both disappeared—for nearly a year,
and the wierd thing is–they can’t swim!

bless their hearts,they both had a case of the wanderin’ willies–
that got them lost in the Netherland’s Aunt tillies!
My Apple went Missin'(Or,where in the heck is my costume?)
Once a fine nite on all Hallows
I went dressed as an appletine gallow!
Me body was wood,and I did best me could-
but I couldn’t find apple-von-trappple.
Well,me head was a twitterin’ me neck-
cause me makeshift applein’ mask didn’t fit-
I couldn’t see squat-much less round the block-
and I dropped all me candy–in the net.
Well,the moon was a howled much by dogs-
and me bones were a shiverin’ me clogs-
so I turned to the hatter and said-
“bloke,What’s the matter”–
n he said”Dude,you’re all naked–
like the bogs”

that’s the last time I go out on all Hallows dressed as a gallow with an apple head-dress! LOL. 😆 😆 😆
I heard you scream beat and torture the witch before you burn her at the stake.
Not knowing it was the towns people’s grave mistake.
In my my death I cursed all the land and your families names.
A ghostly price for you and your children you will pay.
Every where you turn you will see my tormented evil face.
My eyes so cold with revenge the color of evil gray.
I need your souls to come back alive someday..
You will know when I rise
By the vine on my grave.
It will be stain with your souls blood a price you must pay.
I will corner you on the streets.
I will cut body parts out with a knife.
Collecting pieces of organs and flesh making them mine.
So I can grow strong and come back alive.
A must for all time.
I will come into your homes while you sleep.
Scaring your children to death.
Poisoning your food making you deathly ill sick.
Ill take control of your cars and drive you off dead mans curve 100 foot cliff.
Ill come for you at work and strangle you to death.
Ill come for you in parks has you peacefully sit.
There is no place to hide.
No safe place to find.
Not even the church of grace can save you this time.
I’m coming for you a price your soul must pay.
For the torture of my soul on that evil day.
All in the power of my cursed name.
Forever your town will be blood stained.
For eternity I will kill your families name.
A couple of Halloween slimericks. Such fun to try them.

GHOST TRICKS
A little ghost named Milk Toast,
trying to be such a ham,
giving it his all,
slid right through the wall.
Yikes! And how frightened I am.
A ghost named Joe was all show
and loved to try jumps and spins.
He once jumped so high,
he made himself cry.
But ev’ry contest he wins.

Thanks for the chuckle as I read all of them here today.
A frank Barbeque…on all Hallows
Me friends were a roastin’ their wiennes,
they was all comfort up tho quite squeamish,
the franks were all done
but were yet without buns–
cause the goblins and ghost had done eat ’em.

the next time I do a frankfurter roast on all Hallows,I’m gonna make darn sure that I invest in some ghost-repellent hotdog buns! LOL Happy BBQing!
Would You Be Nice….(Or,don’t disrespect this evening. 🙂 )
Twas a lovely All Hallows Eve,
with the leaves just a rustlin’ the trees.
All Nature said “Hi,and Please do Comply,
this night is quite special,tread easy”.
