limku
Limericks distilled to Haiku | |
When you are unsure if you want to dedicate the time to read an entire limerick, get a synopsis in the condensed to the 5-7-5 syllable format. But be warned -- these don’t rhyme!
Man from Nantucket
Hid life savings thoughtlessly.
Daughter was a thief.
Now the pelican
Can
hold much food in his beak.
Hell, I don’t know how.
Two classy people,
Pretty from head to torso,
Never had children.
Reference “higherku” [link], since it’s dedicated to further abbreviating Haiku.
The first limku could be compressed to the higherku:
“man bucket nantucket”
higherku.

There was a young man from Honshu
Who tried limericks in haiku,
But

Man from Nantucket
Was generously endowed.
His ear was not safe. |
|
| |
(Surely everyone's heard that one...?) |
|
| |
A woman named Anne.
Gives very good head, she can.
Turn's out she's a man!

Huge Dairy State man
Proudly displayed his unit
in public places |

Alternative limku construction, a replay from Lifeless Limericks: |
|
| |
I once met a man,
Japanese. A limerick,
He wrote with ease, but, |
|
| |
When it was done, he
Did not want one, but double,
Haiku poems, these. |
|
| |
Chaucer is sadly neglected. |
|
| |
Good thinking Rods...
From Shoreham hailing,
A Youth, paper-legg-ed, strode.
O’er-stretched. Breeches breeched.
|
|
| |
Or try Haimericks -
Exactly the same, but still:
Wondrous maneuver!
|
|
| |
Chaucer is thankfully overlooked. |
|
| |
Old Peruvian
dreamt he ate his shoes again
Not a dream, it was. |
|
| |
More permutations-
Lifeless shakespeare poetry
In 'CPPC. |
|

//Chaucer is thankfully overlooked// |
|
| |
Shakespeare, and some others, work well in Haiku, due to the structure of the prose. Someone's probably already done it -- I haven't researched that. |
|
| |
Wretch upon on my door,
Leave me in my loneliness?
Raven: “Nevermore”. |
|

Man with name Eenis
Was endowed like a donkey...
(Not for children, this) |

1) (Truncated):
A young man I knew,
His limku stopped at line two |
|
| |
2) (More truncated):
A man from Verdun,
|
|
| |
Hickory dick dock,
Something hairy in a clock,
Exiting at one
|

Belated <applause> for [Farmerjohn]'s contribution. |
