Mythos Limericks!

Post by **Aleister** » Wed Jun 16, 2004 9:38 pm

There was a young plebe Miskatonic,
Whose story was really ironic,
He read an old book,
And took a good look,
And now he's a high priest of the Cthonic.

There was a young man from Innsmouth.....
Who cheerfully plighted his trowth
To a series of wives
And their nuptial dives
Were the scandalous talk of the South!

Nyarlathotep loves to play gin
So I had him deal me in
I bet my life
which ended in strife
When the cards we used ate off my skin

The Necronomicon? You can't be shown one!
While the libraries never will loan one!
But if it's so rare
And guarded with care
Why does every nut case seem to own one?

***
Think this one belongs under limericks?
Not my creation but no less worse by that in any case.

That is the fun thing about Lovecraftian Limericks.. they are usually in bad taste

A little old man summoned Azathoth
but instead all he got was a shoggoth.
It was easy to see
where he needed to be
was someplace much safer like Yuggoth.

Lovecraftian Limerick, eh? Give me two minutes, I'll write one!

Ahem.

Okay.

There once was a clever young dhole,
Who tied all its victims to a pole
'Til a mi-go fluttered down
And remarked with a frown
"CTHULHU WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!"

another...

There was a small fungi from Yuggoth
Who fancied a cyclopean shuggoth
He utilized a ladder
The beast made a clatter
'Til a "teke-li-li" got the lil' bug off.

There. Limericks. *nods*

Really, I just wanted to play thread necromancer and see if anyone else had some to share. Mine kinda sucketh.

a lim'rick for good old cthulhu
who's got nothing better to do lhu
than wait in r'lyeh
for the glorious day
when the stars make him feel less blue lhu

The Old Ones we came to defy
but somehow I just want to cry
'cause they're everywhere
and now I don't care
I know, we're just going to diiieeee

I just don't believe all this crap
my mind's not so easy to crack
malignant Old Gods,
that sounds a bit odd
but hey, what's that thing on the - ACK!

*rofl Ray* Nice... nice.

Okay then... another of my own invention.

Cthulhu woke up to wade
For his prowess had begun to fade
R'lyeh knew of his scheming
He was not dead, just dreaming
If he thought he'd get eternally laid.

Dear Aunt Mary-Jo from Innsmouth,
remember those things that you taught
to all of us children?
I used to shiver
but now I'll just go take a bath.

The Shoggoth's limerick

To be stuck in ice blue and white
is something that sucks, think you might,
but's not problematic
'cause changes climatic
are nearer than stars to be right.

Pickman's limerick

I think that I'm changing within
I'm getting so ugly and thin
and painting this ghoul
I'm starting to drool
he's nibbling a fleshy young chin.

(Since me and Ray are battling limericks, this one is kind of a CM 'in' joke. Sorry for that.)

There was a lil' newbie of Yith
Who found Von Ricknor at level the fifth
They found bits of his body
Laying in MU's front lobby
And the rest of his gear in Dar-Kith.

Ok, and CthulhuMUD it is!

I went to the Cavern of Flames
and suddenly I'm feeling insane?!
Maybe these two guys
Freddy and Pennywise
will help me in finding my way!
