Come on Mike, write us another winning limerickYup! I can spend all the money I want on dive gear with no objections from Tracy, as long as I buy two of whatever it is!

OK, OK
There was a cave diver from Live Oak
Who bought his wife a rebreather and is flat broke
The payment you see
Is just too much for he
So his wife screamed "Get a second job deadbeat, I need more Sorb", and that's no joke!
"Revenge is sweet and not fattening."
"These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig."
"Always make the audience suffer as much as possible."

Post # 14 is what I've come up with so far - but we're launching out on our 1490 mile drive to Cathy's tomorrow!Come on Mike, write us another winning limerick
I'll have plenty of time on the way down to think of limericks and try them out on Tracy - if she doesn't snap and shove a fleece drysuit sock in my mouth.
Though she puts up with my fiddle practicing - if she can stand that a few limericks shouldn't hurt her any.

On one dark night
he grabbed his light
dive gear on, he headed down there
into cave that does grown men scare
oblivious to upcoming plight
his plan turned into hell
as he swam into the well
his fin kicked up silt
in his mind it built
a panic he tried to quell
Ok-ing the line
he was doing fine
until he reached a visual
(he broke a rule, the criminal)
and now had not much time
He had lost the route
and air-- he was out
there his body stayed
until the recovery made
a family left without
We all pay heed to that fellow
whose worry was all too mellow
by checking our lights
and shaking off frights
refusing to be called yellow
Sometimes we go for a dive
in submerged caves we thrive
but let us never forget
that diver's fatal last bet
when we excuses contrive

Marchand and I worked on this one together, I wrote it then he edited, then I edited, it went back and forth a few times with each of us changing a few words here and there.
Into a hole did Cavern Diver Joe go
Kicking way too hard against the flow
He was also breathing way too hard
All because he wanted that Intro Cave card
Obviously Cavern Diver Joe was no pro
Sixty minutes into the dive he got tired
Breathing nitrox 40% got him wired
The depth was merely one hundred eighty
Narcosis caused his head to feel weighty
As a diver he should have been fired
Though it was not his main aim
Somehow he made a name and got fame
Cave divers got together to form a quorum
They made him a moderator for this forum
Now each day he administers blame and flame

Cave diving is meant to be fun,
But no, no, not for this one.
He smiled and laughed,
Until he ran out of gas.
One less mother's son...
"I'll do it, I swear, I'm no tool"
"You can do it, I can do it, see, I'm cool"
They ran new line,
Now he's dead like the sign.
Go learn the skills in school...

This is NOT me (I have NO creative talent!!) This is by scubadam67, who gave me permission to share it:
There once was a caver named Mike,
Where he dove, your heartbeat it did spike,
With a tank on each side, through the crack he did slide,
The grim reaper was nowhere in sight.

Anybody can be calm and centered with a few candles, some incense, quiet peaceful surroundings...the trick in life is to clear your head and find that calm spot in a *poo*storm...to filter out distractions in a beehive world and focus on simple, true things. - Bob Bates
