King of the Forums 2009 Bonus Challenge #1

[Josiah]

It's time for the first bonus challenge of this year's KotF Contest. If you don't know, there's a new bonus challenge every week during the contest and they give you the chance to win big points by completing some sort of Pebble Version related activity.

This week's challenge? Write a limerick about Pebble Version (it can be about the comic and/or the forums). If you don't know what a limerick is, Wikipedia says "The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth having nine syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having five or six and rhyming separately." More info can be found in the earlier link.

Since limericks are done in five line groups, your limerick must be at least five lines long. It can be longer, though it'll have to be in multiples of five (ten, fifteen, twenty, etc). You may enter as many limericks are you like. All entries must be posted in this thread no later than Sunday the 22nd (this Sunday). I'll choose the winners based on correct use of limerick form and how much I like them.
First Prize: 30 points
Second Prize: 20 points
Third Prize: 10 points
And yes, you can win multiple prizes if you enter multiple good limericks.

There once was a man named Silver...

Ok, maybe not. But this is going to be a fun challenge.

[Saber Knight]

Really? 9 Syllables? Didn't know that.

I thought it was just AABBA with the A's being longer than the B's. Ah well....

[Cheezdude]

*nothing rhymes with silver... D=*

A man who loved to eat barley
Was a forum member named Marley
But too much he ate,
There's no food on his plate,
And he sadly watched iCarly.

To update IPA,

It drove him insane in November

All of Pebble Version loved to Brawl,
Marley, Josiah, them all.
Silver had tried,
but unimpressed, he sighed
As Terra threw a pitfall

Cheesey's friend was Saber Knight,
the calender project gave her a fright,
Saber let out a yelp,

and the questions - she got them right~

I'm good at this! =D

[NabMaster]

You know in general lymerics are supposed to be very ... yeah ... well, I'll give this one a shot tonight!

[Blastotoise]

Are you spying on me Cheezy? Because I WAS forced to watch iCarly the other day...

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

Cheezdude loves to write these limericks~
His limericks really have some kicks~
But his syllables~
Short they often fall~
Now he is going to get his licks~
---------------------------------------------
Marley really wants to be the king~
His posts all have a resounding ring~
To win this contest~
He'll outpost the rest~
To praise his posting many will sing~
---------------------------------------------
Oh Josiah all I have to say~
Is that you are judging on this day~
Saber, Nab, and Cheez try~
To rhyme a poem on the fly~
You know this is all I have to say~
---------------------------------------------
These are all my limericks to date~
I do hope that there rating is great~
I try to rhyme my words~
I'll even say milk curds~
So now I hope that I will not be late~
---------------------------------------------
There they are.

[Siranae]

Okay, this may sound kinda corny, but I had to say stuff like that to rhyme.

In the year two-thousand and three
Josiah ordered Adobe
With sprites and a vision
He made a decision
So began the comic PV

His project began using Paint
Its options would prove very faint
The very few perks
Are outweighed by quirks
You can’t work with so much restraint

When the Photoshop did arrive
The comic became more alive
His tools more advanced
His work was enhanced
So quickly the comic did thrive

Obtaining more recognition
Josiah made a decision
Readers asked for some space
To all talk in one place
Forums were his next addition

The forums were up and going
And soon they were quickly growing
When new friends came about
The new mods would help out
His success clearly was showing

In two-thousand eight what occurred
Was something awfully absurd
When this Time Warp took place
Files it did erase
A recovery was then spurred

We’re a closely knit group of peers
And we’re kind when a new one appears
So here’s admiration
To his dedication
May PV last many more years!

[Phonox]

Well, I just lost the game. I doubt I'll even try anymore.

[Cheezdude]

Siranae: One, that was awesome. Two, I have absolutely no chance of winning anymore. Thanks. >>

[NabMaster]

Oh wow Sira, that's great! Have you ever thought about taking Creative Writing / Writer's Craft / whatever the name might be for this class where you live? You've got some skills there, I'm alright at writing but not that good

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

Really good, but, check the syllables

[Siranae]

Don't give up on my account, Phonox! You may have a stroke of inspiration and win this challenge, or one of the other poems may beat me.

Same with you, Cheezy. And if not this challenge, you may win one of the others. Thank you and Nab for the compliments

Blue Fire, what do you mean? I checked them before I posted, and I'm pretty sure syllables are consistent throughout. Is there a rule I forgot?

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

9 syllables.

[Cheezdude]

9 syllables.

That isn't true.

Lines 1, 2, and 5, need to have the same amount. Lines 3, and 4 do too. Doesn't matter how many.
