But only a few days left. Here's one attempt:
There once was a temperate planet
And sentient species upon it
But one winter day
It all went away
The Mayans, they wrote it in granite
[marked-for-apocalyptic destruction]
Unsurpassable apocalyrics.

If the Mayans had been so great at seeing things
coming, we'd still have Mayans. |

And this year's award for Wilful Abuse of Scansion
goes to... |

//If the Mayans had been so great at seeing things

Damn you for pointing that out when I only have less
than a week to smugly repeat it. |

This end of the world, for the Maya
Did not guarantee a Messiah
Though Quatzequatel
Hey, pass me the bottle
Will bring his own brimstone and fire

"There is nothing in the Maya or Aztec or ancient Mesoamerican prophecy to suggest that they prophesied a sudden or major change of any sort in 2012. The notion of a "Great Cycle" coming to an end is completely a modern invention." (Link) |

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who said "12-21-12? Oh, f___ it!"
"There is nothing to fear,
they say this every year,
Nothing's going to hap............ |

There once was a planet in space
it was inhabited by a smart race
they numbered each day
until they all went away
that planets know numbers there's no trace. |
|
| |
There once was a calendar mason
Who chiseled away while free basin'
And one day, on the cliff
He inscribed the wrong glyph
Thus the end of the world he did hasten
|
|
| |
That's the closest yet to a viable limerick. |
|
| |
The end of the world was predicted
And our life spans unfairly restricted.
It was blamed on the Mayans,
Those Mexican scions,
Who wanted the Spanish evicted.
|
|
| |
Er... that would be the Aztecs. |
|
| |
//If the Mayans had been so great at seeing things coming, we'd still have Mayans.//
Plenty of Mayans still. Go there and they will sell you trinkets, in my case a tie dye tee shirt with a image of Bob Marley tokin' a huge one. |
|

There once was a group of halfbakers
Philosophers, sinners and fakers
They assure that the end
Though the Mayans portend
Will come not from fire, but through makers
|
|
| |
//Er... that would be the Aztecs//
Not only but also. |
|
| |
The end of the thirteenth baktun
Is believed by many a loon
To signify
The day we all die
A fear to which I feel immune |

There was a tribe on the Yucatan,
stone carvers no one's better than.
They ended the calendar
on Year Salamander,
survive it the fuck you can. |
|
| |
Since we're talking about a pretty specific event,
shouldn't it be 'thepocalypse' ? |
|
| |
Also, rather than a limerick, should we not be
concentrating on apolcalypsos? |
|
| |
Land of Maya, the nights are gay-a,
The blood flows daily on the temple top... |
|
| |
It seems the Maya took pleasure in ripping
open the chests of their victims and tearing
out their still-beating hearts. |
|
| |
Some sort of ex-wives club, clearly. |
|
| |
Somewhere I saw a haiku, along the lines of |
|
| |
The world has just ended
We are here still
Let's party! |

An ode to the Mayan ex-wife
So good with the ax and the knife
She'll carve out your heart
She considers it art
And not really taking your life
|
|
| |
Ooh. Better ending line for mine. |
|
| |
I can't guess what they'll say in June. |
|
| |
An ancient race from Yucatan,
Has predicted the ending of Man,
So don't hesitate
And before it's too late,
Get down to the pub while you can.

He was feathered and scaled, no mere man
He was more like a god, Kukulcan
No, he was no mere mortal
This Quetzalcoatl
We shall soon know his ultimate plan
|

[bigs], you're channeling William Topaz McGonagall again … … |

My bad. I had thought the Mayans were all dead by
the time the Spanish set shore. |
|
| |
There once was an unemployed prophet
Who peddled cheap futures for profit
A true ignoramus
He's no Nostradamus
But the Mayans, they made him like Buffett
|
|
| |
When an apocalypse is nigh,
And large rocks fall from the sky,
Take your collective heads,
Put them between your legs,
And kiss your asses goodbye. |

Add your own syllables limericks. |

The Mayan god, old Quetzalcoatl,
had priests as smart as Aristotle,
who condemned the crock
that was carved on a rock,
"We won't believe, but a lot'll." |
|
| |
[bb], a lot'll like your limeric too. |
|
| |
Final one from me, I promise
|
|

The pyramids of Chichen Itza
Compete with the desert of Giza
But the end didn't come
And so now, my dear chum
They are peddling nachos and pizza

[bigsleep], I'd like to officially license "The End Of
Dais' " as a title :) |
