He calls himself Pellucid Wombat.
Where’d he come up with that?
After hooking urban stone
And getting a frostbitten bone
He plans to siege Pothole Dome.

Not a climbing limerick but a favorite Gorey none the less...
Deliciously dark...

There was a young climber from Squish
Who kept all his nuts in a dish
He forgot them at home
When he attempted Half Dome
And somehow used for protection, a fish.

I heard of a short guide from the Rockies
Who drank, climbed and played hockey
When he couldn't top out
He said with a pout
These moves weren't made for a jockey.

There once was climber named Mike
His visions peer far in the night
A man of the planets
His preference for granite
Now Mike is out riding his bike.

There was a climber named Duane
Who never climbed in the rain
He feared he would plummet
To ground from the summit
Thus rendered to naught but a stain

There was a climber named Ron
Who knew not what route he was on
He thought he'd rappel
But said "What the hell
I'll wait till the water is gone
and one my friend Rich made;
There was an old climber named Deuce
Who liked nailing flakes that were loose
He'd hook above ledges
on miniscule edges
and tied into ropes with a noose

A man known 'round here only as "Cilley"
stayed climbin' our granite when chilly.
With his hands in the crack,
and his feet out of whack,
his only thought was of freezing his Willy !
A batholith tribute...

There was a climber named Guido
Who bouldered in only a Speedo
To problems he'd walk
And attempt without chalk
But climb them he did yes indeedo
(which is nicer than using;
When stemming this putz
Would pop loose with his nuts
;-)

There once was a climber named Bruce
Who begged for sandbagging abuse
So i brought the nugs
He brought the Buggz
It's a good thing the Stronghold's not loose!

Hey, come on Karl. I started the thread. Where is the credit? While I like many of the Limerics better than mine, I at least deserve some credit, eh? Even Guido e-mailed me today about what I had started so long ago.
As you say, PEace.

There once was a hot climber chick from Red Rocks
who loved jumping on big cocks
her friends were all gay
they all ran away

There once was a poster named clode,
Whose spelling was a little bit flawed,
He spelt it "Limeric",
But really should consider it,
Before he's corrected by a blog.
(OK, "blog" doesn't scan all that well - I'll try to think of a better word. But it's Limerick, as any Irish will tell you.)

The Guido Limericks #1
A well-bronzed dandy named Guido
Crack climbed nude, shoes or a Speedo
A crux rattly and cruel
Made him slot a prized jewel
Fixed as he lost both his feet- oh!

There was a forum called Super Topo.
All who posted were super loco.
Some were holding a command.
Others were banned.

There once was a climber named Kruk
He shat when his knee once got stuck
After chopping a Torre
We all heard the story
Hows that for some shitty luck?

Tommy Caldwell liked to climb with his bro's
Sent hard climbs from Lurking Fear to the Nose
but with a saw he did fidget
which cost him a digit
Leave the home reno's up to the pro's....

On an early ascent of Phantom Pinnacle, circa 61 in the Valley, Beck dislocated his shoulder. My first experience at all the fun of putting "things" back together. Fortunately, he had just led the most difficult pitch so once again I avoided the dreaded challenge.
I have to thank two of my limerick mentors, Roper and Powell, for my love of the limerick. Time is of the essence in limericks. So perhaps we should set up an hourglass to put this into perspective?

There once was a climber named Beck
Whose shoulder was a hell of a wreck
He called all his friends
To pull hard from both ends
Now his ass is where he once had a neck

There was a young poster named Clode
Who posts up from on his commode
He was talking to me
as he was taking a pee
But Dude.... this is my first post on this thread so ??????
