The Friday Fling Limerickizes Favorite Comedians!
Friday Fling #210 for December 14th 2012
Michelle suggested that this week just for laughs we write about a comedian that made you laugh so that you couldn’t stop. As a onetime class clown and aspiring comedian myself, I naturally thought this was a good idea.
Michelle also suggested a format, the Limerick. Limericks are usually written to bring a smile, so they are a good fit for this topic.
Limericks are five line poems of roughly 9-9-7-7-9 syllables each, more or less, with a similar matching rhymescheme of A-A-B-B-A. The first line sets the character and theme, and the last line is the punchline.
Here’s an example I wrote just for this challenge:
An hilarious comic named Caesar
is fondly recalled by this geezer.
He used funny accents
to speak foreign nonsense
which was always a TV crowdpleaser!
This week the Friday Fling recalls big laughs with our favorite funnyfolk!
Be sure to save time to read and comment amusingly on your fellow Pals’ laughable creations. Then go enjoy a mirthful weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for December 7th
Congratulations Angel Love!
So who is is that made you laugh so much that it hurt? Write about them in a Limerick.
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s comedianfest! This week we’re challenging you to write a Limerick about a favorite funnyperson. If the Limerick is funny itself, so much the better! So now it’s time to let out your mirthful Leprechaun muse and compose five lines celebrating those who made/make you laugh!

Jack Benny with Mel Blanc as Sy
had to hold in laughter to get by
Mel kept answering “si”
to all onlookers’ glee
laughed so hard I thought I would die.

To git out all the tweeter

NIGHT AND DAY

There once was this girl name bright
Who but always used a light
She even use for day
To always light her way
More when she would walk the night

Benigni Trilogy
how could we forget our Benigni
having atypical energy
never held anything in
he shows us an Italian
joy when I summon his memory
in “Down by Law” man killed in pool hall
he claimed self-defense, throwing cue ball
to a dark New Orleans jail
in Italian told his tale
his cellmates befuddled by it all
in one notion they shared the same page
incarceration not all the rage
they snuck out an open door
the jail would see them no more
hopeful freedom replacing that cage

Stephen Colbert roasted George Bush
To the limits he did push
Bush was not amused
His ego got bruised
George sat squirming on his tush.
My sister is a hilarious gal
She’s so funny and more of a pal
We always laugh so hard
Negativity we discard
Always boosting each others morale.

Red Skelton was my childhood hero
Watching his show left a nice glow.
Whether Freddie Freeloader
or some other character,
I’d laugh until I would feel tears flow.

Buddy The Elf
A comedian named Will Ferrell
Brought laughter in his elf apparel
Spreading so much cheer and joy
To each little girl and boy
Having us sing a Christmas carol
Here is another one…
….
Buddy the elf has syrup handy
And loves everything topped with candy
When he eats his spaghetti
He sprinkles like confetti
On spaghetti quite sweet and dandy :entertained:
