1st Ever Cave Limerick Contest...

[tj]

I've got to get rid of that UK Mini Q40... Our webmaster (Marbry) came up with the idea of a Limerick contest.

So here are the rules... which could change slightly...

1) Best Limerick wins (we'll do a poll or vote later).
2) Nothing obscene in a bad way. Limericks are naturally obscene so this 'rule' adds some challenge to the game.
3) Have something to do with caves, underwater or not. About forum rules is okay too...
4) Not personally directed at anyone or agency unless its really good... No seriously, be good here.

The form of the limerick can be varied. We are not sticklers to the true form, ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry) .

The contest ends at midnight Thursday, 31 July 2008.

Enjoy!

There was a man from Marianna

Who's prudish lass was named Hanna

Into Jackson Blue

With scooter he flew

But still he got farther with Hanna

There once was a man from High Springs

Who wanted to explore mysterious things

So into the cave he went

Hoping he wouldn’t get bent

Instead he came out saying what joy this brings

-------------------------------------------------------------

There once was a PADI open water diver

Who said, man I'm somewhat of a survivor

Into the caves I could go

There isn’t really much needed to know

I’ll just carry more equipment than MacGyver

--------------------------------------------------------------

There once was a PADI open water diver

Who said, man I'm somewhat of a survivor

Into the caves I could go

There isn’t really much needed to know

AND HE DIED BECAUSE HE VIOLATED THE FIVE BASIC RULES!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Who sad man I’m somewhat of a survivor

Shouldn't that be "Who said, man I'm somewhat of a survivor."?

There once was a man from Nantuckit
No caves up there so he said **** it
He came down south
and contacted Ralph
Bought some cave gear and to Ginnie he did truck it.

[Omni]

I just read these to the wife unit and she said I wasnt allowed to hang with you anymore.

There once was a man from Pompano

and into the caves he did go

without a backup light

he lost the fight

what happened, no one will know

-----------------------------------------

A cave diver ran out of air

his buddy didn't seem to care

he turned to head out

knowing without a doubt

the intent of his buddies stare

----------------------------------------

The visability had turned to crap

and the diver was ready to snap

the line was unfound

it was broke on the ground

and now it is time to take a nap

[MORGAN]

A diver not wise but quite brave,
Swam foolishly into a cave.
And in swimming about,
He silted it out.
It made quite a dark and wet grave.

-------------------------------------

There was a young diver named Chris
Who tried to impress his bud's sis.
He said "I'm so brave,
I'll swim into this cave!
Just hold my beer and watch this!"

-------------------------------------

A brand new cave diver named Cooter
Bought some stages, a Meg, and a scooter.
He said he'd make history,
But his end was a mystery
'Til the coroner downloaded his 'puter.

-------------------------------------

Oh, It's off to cave country I go
Fleeing the frost and the snow.
Go cave diving with friends
'til my vacation ends
While at home it is thirty below.

-------------------------------------

Sorry none of them are obscene; I'll try to do better later!

[Slüdge]

Wow, Mike, those are good!

[metaldector]

The bubbles he blows,

Don’t come from his nose,

But messed with his buoyancy trim,

A twist of his valve,

All nature repels, as he goes on with his cave diving friends.

The tunnels are dark, he said with a lark,

So in them I will go,

With a light and string, he said to a friend

There can’t be much to know?

Later that day the hearse took him away, what a wet way to go!
