Once relegated to a Previous Edition
I humbly take on this noble mission
To bring a beloved thread
While dying, not yet dead
To our forum's most current rendition.

If ye be seekin' some inspiration
And be held by writer's frustration
I've left a link on "Previous"
To some verse quite devious
That may prove to be your salvation.

Five lines is what you will need
To make rhymes about D&D
And provide a start
For those who've the heart
With your last line the next will lead.

This is meant to be a fun thread for all
So please be courteous and not appall
With words with no rhyme
For the next bloke in line
So the thread doesn't bog down and stall.

*For those less limerick inclined, this is meant to be a more visible version of a thread in the Previous Edition General forum. It's not a replacement, but rather a 4e General continuation. Please keep your D&D limericks polite and "in-character". Craft your limerick using the line left by the previous poster - and be sure to leave the next participant a place to start, too! I think you'll find this quite fun to participate in or even just to read. That said, I need your help to get this going.

The next limerick will start with this line:

The Infernal Warlock blasted his foe ...

If you're terribly afraid of your character dying, it may be best if you roleplayed something other than an adventurer.

:embarrass My bad! You're meant to write a whole limerick based off of that starting line! I probably should've explained that ... ugh.

The Infernal Warlock blasted his foe


With a bolt he felt down to his toe
He then turned to run
But son of a gun!
A Barbarian made him no mo'

Always a fan of limerick and haiku. How about this one in honor of my current character.


There once was a Dragonborn Rogue

There once was a Dragonborn Rogue
Who wore armor that was in vogue
He had stolen it from
Neither noble nor bum
But from a hiding place under the stove.

Rogue is a tough one!

Hah...maybe I should have clicked on that previous edition link...

Also...do you have any idea how hard it is to ryhme rogue?

There once was a Dragonborn Rogue
Who thought backstabbin' in vogue
But his friends soon caught on
When their wallets were gone
And made short work of that Dragonborn rogue.

EDIT: Argh!

Might as well go again...

In dark night the candle went out
Leaving the party somewhat in doubt
if the dark shape was a drow
or merely a cow
Just in case they loosed fireballs about


Drawn steel and a sharp battle cry...

Drawn steel and a sharp battle cry
The warlord's command shrill and high
The fighter just shrugged
And immediately plugged
A minion instead in the eye.

Next:
The warlock that wished on a star…

The warlock that wished on a star,
Met Dead Cthulhu next morn' at a bar.
They were quick to act
And drew up a pact
Not unlike a lease to a car.

The flayer was under the bed...

The flayer was under the bed
Waiting to suck brains out of heads
He was surely amazed
To hear shouts of "Flaya Flav"
As the shouters stabbed him quite dead.

NEXT: The zombies shambled on with a groan ...
