Well, it was mentioned to use a limerick, soooo....


There once was a human named Crichton
In outer space he’s been fightin.’
against peacekeepers he’s been fairin’,
Not to mention the Scarrens,
But we never said his bulb was a bright ‘un.

Improvements encouraged if ya have 'em.:aok:

Your first two lines are awesome to build off of, but limerick-ing is DAMN HARD!!!

Is there such a thing as a book of words that rhyme...kinda set up like a thesaurus....only it isnt a thesaurus? :)

Susana
04-04-2003, 07:20 PM
Yeah, it's called a rhyming dictionary ;)

Here's a link: http://www.rhymezone.com/

LiLOrion
04-04-2003, 07:25 PM
GET OUT! Never knew such a thing existed. Thats cool.

Takes all the fun out of limerick writing though....dont have to sit staring at the ceiling for hours thinking of a word that rhymes.

DontTemptMeFluffy
04-04-2003, 07:37 PM
Took me fifteen minutes for that one, tops.:D


If you’ve heard of a show called FarScape
You’ll know its cancellation made fans go ape
So the fans went a looking
For a new network for booking
A fifth season upon which to gape.


Dang but I love that rhyme dictionary link...:love2: Thanky much.

There was a Dominar named Rygel
a Hynerian which none could rival.
He would let loose a blast
of helium gas,
which his enemies found quite frightful!

Oh ware ye of War Minister Ahknar
Whose hat can be seen from afar
She made Scorpy turn green
Cause she was so mean,
and Crichton she tossed like a ragdoll!

There was a young lass named Aeryn
Who got in a fight with a Scarren
He tried to escape
a moment too late -
Now his mivonks she is a wearin'!

There was a young girl from Pawtucket,
Rhode Island, not far from Nantucket.
She thought it unjust
"Farscape" was a bust,
so asked VIACOM, would they re-up-it.

SciFi cancelled Farscape (cry, "Shame!")
The fans wonder who is to blame.
Hammer, Stern, Jackson, Diller?
Who was Farscape's killer?
Or was it the NIELSEN game?

SabaceanBabe

There once was a TV show: Farscape
That left each of its viewers all agape
With its wonderful plots
And guest alien spots
But, alas, the Sci Fi folks killed it

Might give it another shot now, as the batch I sent off on Saturday weren't very good.

B Sharp

We thought Aeryn and Crichton were gone,
and so was D'Argo and Zhaan.
but M Jackson woke Moya to stop his paranoia,
which was wise given big Viacom.

Selena
04-08-2003, 08:08 AM
My humble offering ...

There once was a show called Farscape,
The sci-fi genre it forshaped.
Many awards,
And glories it scores
Other networks yearned to ape

Selena
04-08-2003, 08:54 AM
I tried again but it sounds a little lame ... where oh where are the creative genes when one needs them?


A creative series called Farscape,
Had fans galore to watch it
Sci-fi without vision
Removed it from television
It now seeks a new home to embrace it!

Selena
04-08-2003, 09:07 AM
No intention to monopolize this thread but I'm on a roll ... :rollin:

There once was a spaceship called Moya
In the Uncharted Territories they did deploy her
With Pilot in charge
And the prisoners at large
Adventures they all had aboard her.

Come on you lot, I know you can do better than this!:lol

Selena
04-08-2003, 09:52 AM
And now on LimericScape ... :lol


A wondrous series named Farscape
Was cancelled by moguls sans vision
While the fans were all harried
Other networks they rallied
To reverse this senseless decision

There once was a monarch from Hyneria
Whom expelled helium gas from his derriere,
Though tiny in size,
With big froggy eyes,
His projectile vomiting was much scarier.


...er, not exactly a good one to promote the show. ;)

B Sharp
04-08-2003, 12:18 PM
these things are additive!!

There once was an exec called M Jackson
Who was famous for ratings and action.
He replaced our fav shows for reality that blows
but the Neilsens came in as a fraction.

Selena

Addictive too! :lol

There once was a Peacekeeper named Aeryn
Who’s existence really was barren
When she chose a wrong action
She encountered John Crichton
And days filled with Scorpy and Scarrens

:eek2:

B Sharp
04-08-2003, 01:21 PM

Selena
04-08-2003, 02:43 PM
I think the well is running dry ... :D

There once was a warrior – Ka D’Argo
His freedom his wife made him forgo
Now on Moya with friends
His Qualta he wends
When shipping hazardous cargo


... and I could never ignore Chi


A clockwork Nebari – Chiana
Was a rebel and not a conformer
Through cunning and wile
She charmed and beguiled
Thus Moya became her transporter

Selena
04-08-2003, 05:10 PM
This topic has driven me nuts all day! I have been most unproductive (at work) today ... so here is my final one before I bug out of the office for the evening ...

A three-eyed old wrinkly – Noranti
Maintained Moya’s well-stocked pantry
With notions and potions
She fixed mixed emotions
But kept on upping the ante!

:lol

all right you left brainers out there, where are your contributions?

B Sharp
04-08-2003, 05:12 PM
works best oif read aloud by someone from the east coast with a stroing accent...

In a leviathan the name of Moya
Is a pilot who is still a mere boy-a
But he shares DNA with friend Aeryn (she's PK)
And they rarely have need of a lawy-a

Selena

Selena
04-09-2003, 06:56 AM
One for the PK Captain ...:lol


A Peacekeeper Captain called Bracca
Was Scorpy’s cover and backer
He spied upon Grayza
Whose charms sure could phase ya
But couldn't finally whack her

Selena
04-09-2003, 01:19 PM
:D A Season 2 themed one ...

A Princess, the name of Katralla,
Was wanting to please her Mamma.
With Crichton she joined
And two statues were coined
To supervise government drama.

deweytoo
04-09-2003, 01:20 PM
There once was a girl from R.I.,
who always looked up at the sky.
Hoping Moya she'd see,
Farscape ONE, TWO, or THREE.
Making wishes for full season FIVE.

our astronaut Crichton
after his little brother got spaced

Over the week-end came up with a little pearl ...


A campaign with gusto called BraScape
Created by fans to save FarScape
Many bras were sent in
To Ms. Hammer’s chagrin
With notes and quotes taped to the hardscape! :rollin:

Borgi
04-14-2003, 10:18 AM
There once was a guy called Harvey
He looked around and said „where are we?“
I´m inside Johns Head
Now, Thats really bad
Cause he never listens to me.

That Scorpy, now, he´s really bad,
For a long time he was after Johns Head.
Don´t fear, he only wanted his mind!
But didn´t treat him all too kind
Which made poor John really mad.

farscapefan4eva
04-14-2003, 03:58 PM
okay heres mine it works best if done in a strong north east accent um england that is

there once was a living ship called moya
whose crew suffered exstream paranoia
there on the run from everyone
but they are mostly not in the wrong
well enless your bad then they will destroy ya

it admitedly needs working on but not bad for a two minute scribble

04-14-2003, 09:37 PM
Gee, this takes me back to high school typing class, when I was
writing limericks when I was supposed to be doing exercises....
ah, the memories!

Here's one for Skiffy:

If you don't renew Farscape right now
And apologize to us, I vow
That I'll scream and I'll pout
And I'll cry and I'll shout-
Never mind, guess I'm doing that now!

Here is a culturally specific one ... chunder is Aussie slang for vomit or throw up!


While Farscape was filming Down-Under
Sci-fi chose to rob, loot and plunder
S - 5 they aborted
And fans they exhorted
To view their new shows that were chunder!

Selena
04-15-2003, 05:18 PM
My final offering for the day ....

SaveFarscape became an obsession
For fans who loved Farscape with passion
About topics they cared
At a website they shared
The Beyond Hope Fund was a mission


had to do a rewrite it needed work!:D

Selena
04-28-2003, 08:31 AM
Encouraged by Frunim slip's creativity at another thread I figured it's been a couple or three days since I - or anyone else - posted a new one, so here it is folks!:lol

An astronaut named John Crichton
With DK (and premise) were wise men
In his module he flew
To test theories quite new
When a wormhole created mayhem

Selena
06-05-2003, 07:04 AM
I just realized this is post # 1000 - wow! So it is fitting that it be this thread ... which, by the way DontTemptMeFluffy has been a great thread - I've certainly enjoyed it. :lol

So here's my humble offering in honor of the episodes DMD and SoD (and my milestone) ... :rollin:

The Ice Planet Diagnosan, Tocot;
Tried to cure Moya and John a whole lot.
With Grunchlk to barter
He probed John’s pia mater
Leaving John without speech as the upshot.

Selena
06-05-2003, 09:34 AM
Here's the other one for those episodes ...

On the Ice Planet, Diagnosan Tocot
Removed John’s neural chip tho t'was a long shot
When Scorpy arrived
Tocot nearly died
And Harvey stayed behind as a spy grot.

Hmm maybe that needs a little more work
:think:

I merely started it, my dear; you've clearly been the driving force behind it. Congrats!:aok:

Thusly do I pay tribute to a clearly superior limericker(is that even a word?)

There once was a Scaper named Selena
who jumped into the limericking arena
where others have fared
but none can compare
thus Fluffy says "She's the queen-a!"

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D:D :D :D

I think I'm going to take a few of these to work with me...the 'Scaper I just found out about and the couple I'm trying to subvert (...uh, I mean...no, that's what I mean) should enjoy them. And I need new humor at the desk o' fun.

Thanks, guys.

Midnight

Now, now, now, we don't "subvert." That seems sooooo negative. We lead them to their inner Scaper. :smokin:

Edit:
And just for kicks:

There once was a Peacekeeper named Crais
Who really got egg on his face
For revenge he's been fighting
His brother's death he's been citing
For Crichton he started up his merry chase.

B Sharp
06-05-2003, 07:47 PM
Zhaan said she was soft but not weak
and Rygel's ears she would playfully tweak
She said she loved Pilot, and wasn't at all violent,
But she helped cut off his arm - what a freak!

B Sharp
06-05-2003, 07:57 PM
Scorpy admits he likes some less than others,
and that includes his bad Scarren brothers.
So he lived in John's head to get PK ahead
but he didn't exactly get all of his druthers.

B Sharp
06-05-2003, 08:06 PM
Diagnosian Tocot had a problem with snot
And Grunschlick said in his presence breathe not.
So Scorpy let loose, said Too late! Cooked the goose.
But his breath was less vile than he thought.

I am an optimist at heart.....

Looking back I can say we were blessed.
And that getting our show back, a test.
The fifth season was great,
And well worth the wait.
But I believe that the seventh was best!

Selena
06-06-2003, 09:46 AM
Thank you DontTemptMeFluffy - (takes bow) :lol that was really cute and funny.

I also really like the one mysticalseeker wrote. Great work! :aok:

It's not easy making those endings rhyme and the format fit into the 11/11/6/6/11 or 9/9/6/6/9 syllable formats. I've had to cheat a little on a few of them. :lol to get them to flow correctly.


I still feel the Noranti one is one of my favs

A three-eyed old wrinkly Noranti
Maintained Moya's well stocked pantry
With spit in her potions
She fixed mixed emotions
But kept them upping the ante

Selena
06-06-2003, 02:58 PM
This one is in honor of the 'G' Man who has kept me on my toes and laughing for months ... :lol

There once was a Scaper named Grinner
Who was a great 'post' and line spinner.
With bizarre news stories
And 'speedy posts' glories
His fun threads were always a winner!

:D

Okay Frunium Slip - this one's for you.:aok:
The comnpany disavows any knowledge of or culpability for misrepresentation of the Uncharted Territories name. :rollin:


Frunium Slip was a clever FarScaper
Whose UT techno ads were a caper.
His ‘sus’ deals were galling
With toll number calling
The firm’s sign was a clear-cut disclaimer.

to be immortalized in a limerick, and to think my third grade teacher said I'd never amount to much...

And my own little contribution:

Ah, Selena is the clear limerick ace,
Whose style is first rate and with just the right pace,
She clearly spent some time,
Working on each great rhyme,
And for this I give her glorius first place.

There once was a man named Frunium Slip

There once was a man called Frunium Slip,
Whose fame and fortune earned him a great ship,
He did sail far and wide,
A lovely at his side,
Whom everyone seemed to refer to as Pip.

Just jealousy, sure I see it now, that or a lack of imagination, BTW, I prefer mine to yours, and it's now three limericks...

A couple of guests too,
Now if it was only on TV today.

Re things at the board
Not seeing that they both were winners!

I haven't posted one for a few days so here it is ~

An astronaut by the name of John Crichton

To test theories quite new
When a wormhole created great mayhem

Frunium Slip
06-12-2003, 05:44 PM
Allrighty then!!!!!!

JC only cares about one thing, Aeryn Sun,
So he won't be seeing the earth, sun, or moon,
But plans have the Scarrans,
Who leave planets barren,
So he just might be singing a brand new tune.

One person I haven't seen mentioned yet,
Xhalax Sun, We'll never forget
Took an elderly lover,
Killed him for her daughter
And now, her maker is met

I know, it's crap, but I couldn't leave her ignored! It's lonely in the dark :pace:

Selena
07-28-2003, 09:16 AM
:lol ... being creative is never 'crap'

This is not a Limerick but it's about Xhalax Sun

Xhalax Sun was Aeryn’s Mom
A Peacekeeper with a big gun
Leading a retrieval squad
She hunted Talyn in her pod

Instead of Talyn and Bialar Crais
She found Aeryn in her chase
When Xhalax saw her Aeryn’s face
She said her girl was a disgrace

To show compassion and such care
Was weakness for a warrior to bear
Nothing Aeryn said or tried
Swayed her Mother to her side

When Bialar Crais on them did chance
He took up a defensive stance
Xhalax’s life he said he’d take
To spare Aeryn a choice to make

They understood what must be done
To Xhalax Sun – Aeryn’s Mom
For while she lived she’d never cease
Pursuing them, not making peace.

John Crichton's a man quite obsessed
with wormholes and Aeryn, no jest!
But Bonnie said; "Done!
Farscape's out on its' bum!
It's too smart, so we have no interest!"

The suits at the network agreed -
Farscape was not what they need.
"It's, o, way too smart,
and has too much heart,
and our bottom line is just greed."

So the network decided to go
with the worst of reality shows.
Scare Tactics, they say
makes the money to pay
us, and the fans of FS can go blow.

Okay, how about we do a limerick for each episode.

Here is my attempt at the premiere

John Crichton got shot through a wormhole
“What’s wrong with you people?” cried his soul
To the one he’d adore
He said “You can be more”
To get home wormholes he’d need to control.

Selena
09-24-2003, 01:00 PM
Reprised from earlier ... I've written many - for each of the characters, our campaign, the series and some of the members at this site ... I did the first 30 or so eps before I gave up … here’s a sample …

Premiere ~ John and the Farscape Mission
An astronaut named John Crichton
With DK (and premise) were wise men
In his module John flew
To test theories quite new
When a wormhole created mayhem

Moya and Pilot
There once was a spaceship called Moya
In the Uncharted Territories they did deploy her
With Pilot in charge
And the prisoners at large
Adventures they all had aboard her.

Aeryn
There once was a Peacekeeper named Aeryn
Who’s existence really was barren
When she chose a wrong action
She encountered John Crichton
And days filled with Scorpy and Scarrens

Ka D’Argo
There once was a warrior – Ka D’Argo
His freedom his wife made him forgo
Now on Moya with friends
His Qualta he wends
When shipping hazardous cargo

Chiana
A clockwork Nebari – Chiana
Was a rebel and not a conformer
Through cunning and wile
She charmed and beguiled
Thus Moya became her transporter

Rygel
A backstabbing Hynerian named Rygel,
Was a Dominar with throne and sigil.
Till he was deposed
By his cousin - transposed,
To Zelbinion’s dungeons - most evil.

Noranti
A three-eyed old wrinkly – Noranti
Maintained Moya’s under-stocked pantry
With notions and potions
She fixed mixed emotions
And kept them upping the ante!


Bracca
A Peacekeeper Lieutenant called Bracca
Was Scorpy’s cover and backer
He spied upon Grayza
Whose charms sure could phase ya
But couldn't finally whack her

LATP – Katralla
A Princess, the name of Katralla,
Was wanting to please her Mamma.
With Crichton she joined
And two statues were coined
To supervise government drama.

Tocot & the Neural Chip
The Ice Planet Diagnosan, Tocot;
Tried to cure Moya and John a whole lot.
With Grunchlk to barter
He probed John’s pia mater
Leaving John without speech as the upshot.

The BraScape Campaign
A campaign with gusto called BraScape
Created by fans to save FarScape
Many bras were sent in
To Ms. Hammer’s chagrin
With notes and quotes taped to the hardscape!

Skiffy
While Farscape was filming Down-Under
Sci-fi chose to rob, loot and plunder
S - 5 they aborted
And fans they exhorted
To view their new shows that were chunder!

So, Selena, where did you stop? Did you post all thirty?

Selena
09-24-2003, 01:16 PM
no I only posted select ones ... I didn't want to give away all my good stuff ... I thought of maybe one day getting them published. If you check back through this thread there are many really good ones by quite a few of the members.

Yeah, Selena, I read through the thread. There are many great limricks, and I wish you luck in getting them published. I still think it would be neat to do at least one limrick per episode. Anyone up for I, ET?

Selena

Did we OD on caffeine today, Grinner?:eh: Or are we missing our Prozac???:lol:

I think grinner is still in shock after reading the article about the boy who performed surgery on his more private member.

I must be bored. Here is my stab at I, ET

To muffle the peacekeeper beacon
Moya landed, the crew went a seekin’.
“Don’t shoot, I’m an alien.
I just wanted some clorium.”
Don’t ask why the translator microbes are workin’.

Selena
02-11-2004, 02:58 PM
When Moya in the swamp landed,
Some clorium Moya demanded.
With Lyneea and Fostro,
John Crichton did lay low,
Hoping they wouldn't be stranded.

Just in case you guys have forgotten about this thread where some of you posted great limericks here and you can resurrect them to send to your favorite star's Con book :lol

There is also the Haiku thread and the Bad Timing - Rhyming thread

Jeebus, this thread is still going?! I think I opened Pandora's limerick box....

Selena
11-08-2004, 05:33 PM
Just so I don't disappoint you DTMF ..... this was really a great thread and it's a pity it gets buried.

There once was a gal named Francesca,
Who played a mean Scarran called Ahkna.
She tormented poor John,
But did not catch on,
That the Moyans were usually the victor.


And on a little more realistic note ... :D

Fran studied at the School of Drama,
Then one day she checked the panorama,
When Ben she did spot,
She thought “He is hot!” :lech:
Much to the dismay of her Mamma.

Selena

I had to post the one I sent to Rebecca :lol

A Commandant named Mele-on-Grayza,
Had charms men found sure could faze ya!
With Crichton she toyed
Which made him annoyed,
But no wormhole info he gave her!

since this has turned more ep-discussin' than campaign strategizing, i'm gonna move it to talkin' farscape, where it might get more attention. ;)

there was a young droid named 1812
who at this moment just sits on a shelve
but, who can say
one day he may play
and we will all see new stories to delve.


LOL

An astronaut shot into space
had adventures all over the place
But other Sci-Fi TV
was poor company
So they cancelled it just to save face.

I'll give it a shot...

There once was a Banic named Stark,
His back story is rather quite dark
A slave for the Scarrens,
On Katritzian shores,
Often says "This is my side, That's your's"

buckwheat the 16th
03-24-2005, 12:44 PM
I've got 2

If through a wormhole your flyin'
Be sure to be close with your timin'
If something goes wrong,
you soon will belong
to a reality as a peacekeeper captin.

or...

The prowler is quite a machine
In space battles they really do scream
But once in a wormhole
you should get out a bowl
because pilots turn to Ice Cream!

buckwheat the 16th
03-24-2005, 12:52 PM
Last one I promise...

flying through space is quite dandy
but make sure to keep one eye handy
while flying along along
keep watch for Budongs
else become "Electromagenetic Candy"

Eve11
03-24-2005, 02:02 PM
lol, Here's another Stark one for you:

There once was a Banik named Stark
Whose character changed on a lark.
First crazy, then sane,
Then crazy again,
Someone please shift his psyche to "park"!

ChianaGray

John Crichton got shot through a wormhole
He's pretty damn lucky it was stable
The next thing you know he's hunted by foes
and kissing Aeryn down to her navel

****

John Crichton was given knowledge by ancients
Who had a small nack for patience
That was all until when, the Scarran's came in
And frightened them all with their faces

Addictive little suckers aren't they! :lol

ChianaGray
03-30-2005, 10:38 AM
yeah they are :P

There was a fellow named Meelak
Who wanted to bring Chiana back
He had a strange gun
In the service of a crazy woman
And a hologram chip from Nerri

****
Johnny was doubly cloned
And twice he doubly groaned
But one was also the other in Eat Me


****
Braca is always your yes man
He'll do anything Scorpius says then
But loyalty be told
He's braver than bold
Even when Grayza's breasts are sweating freslin

Hi,

There was a young Nabari called Chiana,
Who decided to put on some tanner,
she thought it would be fun,
to lay out in the sun,
until Scorpius hit her with a spanner!

AnnaSun
Thanks

I found this at http://www.loonylimericks.com/

A: What is a limerick, Mother?
A: It's a form of verse, said brother
B: In which lines one and two
B: Rhyme with five when it's through
A: And three and four rhyme with each other.

06-07-2005, 10:23 PM
Addictive little suckers aren't they! :lol

I created a frellin' two year old monster.... :D
:think:
After all of the SciFi hate
Perhaps you say it was fate
When Farscape got canned
The fans took a stand
and now FarScape actors are ironically on StarGate...

lol fluffy

Our heroes have braved stormy weather
Recast to Stargate, back together
But we won't complain
When we see them again
(As long as they're both dressed in leather)

Selena
06-08-2005, 07:25 AM
:snicker: Eve11 that was good.

And to what monster are you referring Fluffy? This is no monster it has spawned some great Farscape limericks. :whisper: 1 or 2 are even mine
Take a bow for posting the thread.

Selena
06-08-2005, 07:41 AM
No more Aeryn Sun or John,
SG-1, Claud and Ben are now on,
At Stargate command,
Mitch is in demand,
And Varla our Daniel does con.

Eve11
06-10-2005, 07:37 AM
lol Selena, good one. But it's Vala -- unless SG-1 resurrected that crazy Nebari captain ;)

Reciprocating:

Ben plays an explorer named Cam
And Claud's around 'til the return of Sam
It's a Skiffy mixed plate
on the revamped StarGate
But Shanks is still there to take care of the ham.
