limericks - poetry for the juvenile

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I spent two hours today limericking.

Here are three SGA limericks for your viewing pleasure. The other eight(!) were Torchwood, but they, uh, developed a narrative. So they'll be along at a later date.

There once was a man called McKay,
who hassled his people all day,
But Sheppard's around,
their love is renowned,
he doesn't let Rodney fillet

Atlantis was mighty and pretty
but morals were lost in the city
they spawned hungry wraith
nobody was safe
because they were led by committee

Our military leader is hairy
his style of command is contrary
he can't read a map
he'll kill in a snap
if not on our side he'd be scary

Blame [livejournal.com profile] deltacephei .

How do you punctuate these things??!

This is a talent I didn't know you had! Whoo! You're good!

It's a talent I was only dimly aware of myself! I don't think I've written anything in rhyme since I was 10. This is totally DC's fault. SHE MADE ME.

I was cracking myself up just a liiiitle bit too much in the park thinking up one of the TW ones yesterday. It's just a few more steps til it's binliner hats and tiny people living in my socks.

You are a strange, strange person.

Wait til you hear the one about autoerotic asphyxiation. O_o

Do you have a lot of experience with the topic? I do like authenticity with my limericks.

Oh my! Taking this conversation to email!
