It's report card week and parent conferences so: Jim, your report card just came in the mail
And it says "in not one area did you fail-
You proved to the brass
You wouldn't fall on your ass.
And you put all the perps in the jail"
Now before you go getting all smug
Let me be the one pulling the rug.
"but unlike Detective Marty
You sometimes are tardy-
And let's discuss that dead dog that you dug."
"In Effort, you've an ace in the hole
Respect for authority?- make that a goal.
And it isn't so hard
To share with the squad-
All in all though, you made Honor Roll."

And Hank gets his report card too.
Hank: Conscientious and dependable
When you say "Go way" he's expendable-
And to calm someone's fears
You just scratch his ears.
And that trait is very commendable.

Good ones, Mary, always good ones. I can't give you an A for effort or an A+ for your rhyming scheme so I guess I'll just have to give you a karma instead!

You are amazing, both of you . . . and apparently we are all three affected by the same limerick disorder (!). Kathy, kudos for the tricky multisyllabic rhymes . . . and rducasey, loved the report card with multiple verses (should we move on to sonnets next?). Aah, The Pilot . . . Tom Selway has offered his hand
But Marty just wants the guy banned.
What he says to his face
Means, "Get back, it’s our case."
And the flames of dissention are fanned. |

It isn't the overhead shot, but will this one do? Oops! My bad. Forgot to thank you, mlm88. This is a great shot and goes wonderfully well with the limerick -- I have to say, matching these with the screencaps is absolutely part of the fun. ;D  Poor old Lynn was a bit of a whore
(Well, just look at the stockings she wore).
On the streets for some cash
She earned only road rash
And a crime scene no cop could ignore. |

Kathy, kudos for the tricky multisyllabic rhymes . . . and rducasey, loved the report card with multiple verses (should we move on to sonnets next?). Yes, Mary - your reports cards were quite creative! And Maggie, your limerics are always so poetic. I just have been extremely busy this past week and the "pressure" to come up with ANYTHING creative has been too much. I am getting ready for a trip this weekend, dealing with an illness in the family, and just got a new notebook computer. All of those things have tied me up this week (and if anyone has notebook tips....  this is my first and we are just getting acquainted. I will like him much better when my wireless mouse arrives today) Modified to add...oh, forgot to mention that I work at least 45 hours a week and that I should have put this in RANTS!!!  |

Hey thanks Maggie, hhhmmm, let's see, sonnets, heh? What's that 14 lines, iambic pentameter. five measures, two beats each measure or something. My god/ that man/ is hot/ ter than/ the sun.....
Too bad/ he had / to go/ give up/ the gun....... OK I am Only kidding...... I have another whole week of parent conferences so no sonnets for me. But Poet Laureate of Ct., do you live anywhere near Statford Ct. home of the Shakespeare festival? You could give him a run for his money with sonnets , I bet. Hey, new game, Build a sonnet, each person adds two lines until we have 14. OK, the nerd in me just came out. I'm out of here. Maybe I'll have my second graders build a poem, two lines each......hmmm..... |

I read through this entire thread this morning and found myself motivated. Although it is not on the same level as those that came before, I present my first Blind Justice limerick:
There once was a canine named Hank
He came after that day at the bank
The drug dealers they stole him
And none could console Jim
But he was set loose cause his doggy breath stank

Ahhh, somebody stop me - QUICK!!
There once was a cop from Redhook
He dressed always by the book
But he wooed a fashion maven
For his tryst she forgave him
Now Jim Dunbar's got the look.

An Ode to the Choke-hold
He practiced Judo, Ju-jitsu, Kung Fu
Like most bad ass cops like to do
But when a thief took his gun
And then went on the run
Jim was choking the wrong reveler blue

Stop you? Now why would we want to do that, Mouse? We've got you now (picture me rubbing my hands together and cackling) and yours are terrific. There. I said it. |

I've been inspired by everyone to do another, it's been a while for me! Tough to rhyme with Christie, I think this is pretty good if I do say so myself!
Jim had a wife named Christie
She was not very thrifty
She bought a new hat
And said "Look at that!
My clothes are always so nifty"
