Not when Furies, Leah and Hope

what's this, has Xena gone mad?
must be that drat Ares cad
she's gone off so balmy
she might kill her mommie
lest the Furies think Ares is her dad

heh--my sig pic looks like Xena's saying, "nooooo....not more limericks!!"

Limerick On, people!!

I've rarely posted here before
I hope that my rhyme's not a bore
Will you let me join in?
Is being a newbie a sin?
If you say yes I'd like to lim more!

It was a day that kept repeating.
Each morning the rooster crowed a greeting.
Things sure got tricky
When Joxer asked, “Is that hickey?”
And narrowly escaped Xena’s beating.

of course newbie limming's allowed
by your talents let us be wowed
it's plain to see
by your BTDT
that i'm sure you're poetically endowed

When Ares gives a thug Olympian steel
Xena makes some former sidekicks a deal
to the Greater Good they must give
and she might let them live
Slaver and fighter true colors reveal

another of Gab's red shirts i fear
no wait...i think something's queer
distracted by Caesar
Xena let Dahok squeeze her
and Stone Henge was made to appear

You could tell that this wouldn’t be easy
When the teaser showed Gabby feelin’ queasy.
Something was growing in her belly
A demon spawn—whoa, nelly!
Gee I didn’t realize that Gabrielle was kinda sleezy...

Turns out I was wrong about the bard.
Seems her “situation” was really quite hard.
Her blood innocence lost
Upon the alter she was tossed
And was knocked up by an evil god. (hey gimme a break- I’m in Boston. We don’t pronounce Rs. It rhymes here )

and we have our first footnote for the next round...

Xena was called from afar
To help out her old friend, Lao Ma
She left Gabby behind
Only to find
Deep betrayal that would leave a scar

"the Green Dragon must be made small"
Gab didn't know what to make of it all
Xena was off to Chin
to commit a grave sin
leaving Gab behind took lots of gall

what Gabrielle couldn't quite get
was what kind of incredible debt
would put Xena back
on a murderous track
what will lies and betrayal beget...?

A friendship in tatters
Through hate & mistrust
A trip to Illusia
Is surely a must
For gabby & Xena to get back on track
The singing of songs will bring the love back

oh man...i'm liking your work Ditie, but here's the dealio...

a true limerick goes as such:

line one blah blah blah A
line two blah blah blah word that rhymes with word A
line three blah blah B
line four blah blah rhymes with word B
line five blah blah blah another word that rhymes with A

that make any sense at all?

also...we go in episodic order, so The Debt 2 is up now. repeats are surely allowed--some eps such beg more than one lim. but staying in order is the way we do it...

AND limericks have a rhythm too, which some people seem to forget.

Da DAH da da DAH da da DAH
Da DAH da da DAH da da DAH
Da DAH da da DAH
Da DAH da da DAH
Da DAH da da DAH da da DAH

Betrayal is hard, I suppose,
But through it a true friendship grows
Yes, Xena is tough
Yet she's just soft enough
To ask Gabby to scratch her nose

Then Xena gave her wrist a spin
Killing Ming Tien with a hair pin
She avenged her friend,
By this story's end,
But she lied, and will pay for that sin

You can’t tell a book by its cover
And you can’t tell Joxer from his evil brother
But when G can’t do
What X would do
All is well once Xena comes hither.

(OK OK I wrote two for this one. I don't know which one I like)

Joxer’s in leather it’s true
His brother’s a fine one too
They may look alike
But one is not right
And he gets what he has coming, too

Xena times three is a blast
Cyrene's got one heck of a past
A harlett to meet
A pweistess so sweet
Did Joxer just grab the wrong ast?

Gabrielle awoke with a jerk
and started a most unique work
'ditie started to smell
ere Xena broke the scroll's spell
the 3 Naked Gabbies were xc's favorite perk

What’s an innocent Pweistess to do?
I was only looking for the loo
When much to my fwight
I saw a peculiar sight
Oh please let this be a petting zoo!

oops. I should have refreshed my screen. I did not realize that WPT was done. Sorry.

what is a mother to do
when her dear baby girl goes cuckoo
and kills her friend's son
not nice to have done
if xena had lawyers she'd sue

in the lyrical land of illusia
past demons will taunt and confuse ya
your lies will be outed
your fate be rerouted
and hate's grasp will eventually loose ya


sorry for going two in a row, but i couldn't resist the siren song of the bitter suite .
also, i know there are differences in the pronounciation of "routed", but just pretend that it sounds like "outed" for the sake of the lim, k?

i'll leave now.
