PeterT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So after reading some posts on another thread what about some concertina limericks? You've just issued a very difficult challenge. "Concertina", being four syllables, does not fit the meter of a Limerick particularly well. So; lets see what C.net members come up with. Regards, Peter.

PeterT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So after reading some posts on another thread what about some concertina limericks? There was a young lady from Ealing, Who played on her squeezebox* with feeling. There can be no doubt, When the bellows came out, She had all the young men a-reeling. * a generic name for concertinas and other members of the free-reed family.

PeterT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So after reading some posts on another thread what about some concertina limericks? There was a young man who was meaner, Than his girlfriend whose first name was Tina. It can be no sin, On a quiet night in, Tina played on the old concertina.

LDT Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 There once was a silly old squeezer, who couldn't play without sneezing, eugh. So with a peg on his nose, he stubbonly chose, not to be a wheezer* *I know that last bits rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUTT Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 LDT gets us to spout On topics we thought we'd worn out, But she gives it a spin And sucks us right in And, presto! It's fresh as a sprout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miikae Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) A concertina played aloud For the pleasure of the crowd The pennies fall into a hat Player smiles thankful for that. Edited December 11, 2008 by miikae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Morse Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) We've got a few of them on the review pages of our Northeast Squeeze-in reviews. Scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the links to the year's reviews. One of my favorites is: A young lady who plays the Chemnitzer, What a nightmare to find one that fits her! On the pull she's okay, Nothing gets in the way, On the push, though, it nearly de-tits her. Edited December 11, 2008 by Richard Morse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Morse Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 and if everyone could try to keep it clean Oops, sorry about that. Cross posts with the flurry of activity here. If you're worried about "clean" then DON'T look at our NESI review pages. Actually those that did make it to our review pages were often the more "timid" ones. A fair number of the entries the judges deemed not to be presentable even to the adult audience! -- Rich -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandolinRefugee Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 "Hang on just a second, Nature has beckoned, but I shall return in a while." He put down his box A peace rained on us Where we noted, "He plays in fine style." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael sam wild Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 As you play on the old Anglo-German Use a style that is bouncy and firm an' You'll get e'm all bopping singing and hopping And the fans will be squealing and squirmin, We wish!

On the pull she's okay, Nothing gets in the way, On the push, though, it nearly de-tits her. That's one of the reasons I got a concertina instead of a melodeon. and if everyone could try to keep it clean Oops, sorry about that. Cross posts with the flurry of activity here.

Dave Rogers Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 There was a young fellow called Morse Who played on an Edgley, of course He said "They cost more if you buy from a store, But I get a trade discount from source" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 So after reading some posts on another thread what about some concertina limericks? Have you tried using this Forum's Search facility? This is hardly the first time we've tried verse and worse. You've just issued a very difficult challenge. "Concertina", being four syllables, does not fit the meter of a Limerick particularly well. I play concertina for Morris, And to help me in learning a chorus. But it tends to unsettle Those who like heavy metal; They say, "Go away, kid; you bore us!"
