Lime, Rick!

1. Happy Birthday, Karen!

 King Arthur loved roses of Sharon,

As well as the daughter of Baron:

Right: brought them to her,

Enjoying her purr -

Now loving the loving of Karen …

 23. X. 2008

2. My second limerick …

 There was an old guy in Kissimmee,

Impatiently begging: Oh, gimme

Five thousand of kisses

I love you, dear missus!

Unanswered his prayers by Kimmy …

 23. X. 2008

 3. Acrostic Limerick

 Nashville – a city, created

Greatly for music, I stated:

Especially I feel more

Let-love-be-appeal for

A woman I’m interrelated!

 26. X. 2008

4. Lime, Rick!

 The husband of Greek Goddess Iris

He suffered from … well, kind of virus:

Wherever he saw

A beautiful squaw

Old Zephyrus got most desirous …

 28.X.2008

 5. Mixed Dance …

 Men’s consciousness, getting more global,

Was hopeful to get us more noble —

But the earth now to pep

It needs more than one step:

Kind of mixed East and West paso doble!

 29.X.2008

6. Kimmy quotes Ghandi

 „We need individual loving

To end international shoving” -

Yes, Ghandi was right,

So, let’s end all fight.

For more latte-loving-peace-doving …!

 30.X.2008

7. Sand castle

 How nice to have rhyme words at hand

To pick up your former life’s strand

Ugly or handsome,

We all need a ransom:

“What a wonderful … rope of Sand!”

 30.X.2008

8. Hallo, Ween!

 An Oregon man of Eugene,

Was changing his dress far too keen,

After all the old dude

Was totally nude:

As the new style of Boo Halloween!

 31.X.2008

9. Dark room

 Mr. Harkness found slim fast nutritious,

So he preferred bony fishes -

But old Mrs. Harkness,

Found fishes of Darkness …

And kisses in dark rooms delicious!

 31.X.2008

10. Presence

 Zephyrus, karen and sand

And kimmy seem always at hand -

How magic and noble,

How conscious and global:

All Butterflies do understand …

 01.XI.2008

11. LOL

 “No one who gets here my humor,”

Said Kimmy, the once baby boomer -

So she announced proudly:

“For laughing out loudly,

I need a good humor consumer!”

 02.XI.2008

12. O – Bama!

 Far from Japan’s Fujiyama

Can you see an election drama:

All grimace in vain,

Old Johnny McCain -

New president: Barack Obama …!

 4.XI.2008 (!)

13. Utter high …

 Aflutter, I hear me now mutter, shy:

“Oh, Lady, your charm make me stutter, why?!

On land or pelagic,

Your mantra is magic -

I love you, most lovely butterfly …!”

 4.XI.2008

14. Role model …

 “Dear God!” prayed a certain Miss Wimberly,

I’d like to handle things limberly –

As worldly-wise, ample,

As my dearest example:

The wonderful hard to rhyme Kimberly!”

 4.XI.2008

15. BeatHoven

 A Centenarian “Zeph”,

Would ask his soprano clef:

Well, I can’t hear

Your musical sphere -

My God, how profoundly I’m deaf!

 17.XI.2008

16. Limerick for a Twenteen

 Today, dear Patricia Regine,

(Happy Birthday!) you are a twen-teen –

You’re Christian, not Hindi,

Named “Pat” (but not “Dindi”!),

And you smile ... like a beauty queen!

 21.XI.2008

17.Conversion

 There took once a cook, Mr. Pridgen,

In his kitchen, while cooking, a smidgen

Of the meat of a dove,

But discovered his love

To a haunting peace pigeon religion … 

22.XI.2008

18.Lime Rhyme

 Back in my dungeon (by truncheon),

Relaxing with painting by spongin’ -

Then looking, in time,

For Karen’s next rhyme:

To get invitation for luncheon …!

 22.XI.2008

19. Kare ‘n Share

 A man, with the Tao familiar,

Was the ever so light Mr. Hilmar -

To his dungeon he went,

and confessed what he meant:

with Karen to dance in Sevilla!

 22.XI.2008

20. Starred

 A goddess named Aphrodite,

Amused to be museful, not flighty -

To cool or to boil it,

Detroit or “Detoilet”:

Her zodiac sign means … almighty!

 22.XI.2008

21. Healing

 A daughter and mother, revealing:

“My thinking is more like a feeling –

What a heavenly mirth

Is real Mother Earth:

The Dao says: Life is appealing …!”

 23.XI.2008

22. Local

 A Frenchman who lived in Grenoble,

Was not very mentally mobile –

While looking for peace,

He produced only cheese:

His consciousness was too less global …!

 27.XI.2008

 23. Knightmares

 Knight Hilmar from good old Germania

Wrote poems in Transylvania –

That’s always a fight

To get the right bite:

He developed a limerick mania …!

 27.XI.2008

24. Kimberlite diamond

 To abbreviate Kimmy to Kim

Is more than a shorthand pad’s whim –

Sounds female and male,

Like a mystical veil,

Invented by Brothers named Grimm!

 28.XI.08

25. Jubilee

 A crazy old boy, I agree,

Wrote limericks always for free –

He reached in his life

At least twenty-five …

To celebrate this jubilee!

 28.XI.08

26. Spatial Spiral

 A spiral which was also spatial,

Who cared for his face very facial –

In spite of his spiral,

He was highly viral:

His thinking was most interracial …

 28.XI.2008

27. Global Conscious

 You enjoyed a fantastic King Lear,

What art! In a heavenly Sphere –

Like the Dao expected,

We are all connected:

You’re a part of it, Karen, my dear!

 28.XI.2008

28. Ode to Joy

 I love your poetic depictions,

Life … between grace and restrictions –

In all crap and noise,

Your Dao enjoys:

All ends well! Believe my predictions!

 29.XI.2008

29. Zarathustra

 Remarks may be lame or more trenchant,

Argumentary might be “contentioned” –

I don’t give a damn,

I am what I am,

Concerning the penchant I mentioned!

 30.XI.2008

30. Working conditions

 I’m scared by my squared Dungeon Master,

My soul needs a water-bread-plaster –

By hook and by crook,

I’m writing my book:

Oh, what an eternal disaster …!

 30.XI.2008

31. Sand Art

 I like your last poem, dear sandy,

So limerick-handy and trendy –

A glimmer of soul?

Well, hi and bye, all:

The dungeon: my modus vivendi …!

 30.XI.2008

32. Bliss

 Existence beyond the non-entity,

And looking for lifelong identity –

What meaning behind,

Less matter, more mind:

The blessings that Dao presented me …!

 30.XI.2008

33.Doomsday

 A man from an alien world,

He reached Mother Earth highly swirled –

The doom came at noon,

Because he had soon

His outlandish talents unfurled …!

 1.XII.2008

34. Razzmatazz

 A girl trapped on old Alcatraz,

Was ensnared by a boy who played Jazz –

He managed to free her

With a second decree purr:

He loved Kazz for all her pizzazz!

 4.XII.2008

35. Liver-Pool

 Due to living in a Pool of Liver,

Mrs. Karen enjoyed Mersey River –

She emerged then, and hold,

So as I was told,

Many arrows of wit in her quiver …!

 4.XII.2008

36. Search for Meaning

 Between many a rat and a bat

Lived Hilmar in his oubliette –

So he asked, nearly dead

From water and bread,

Oh, why and wherefore is all that?

 4.XII.2008

 37. Reverence

 The ultimate principle, Tao,

Says: live in the here and the now –

Indeed, when you felt it,

Rigidity melted:

The rest is a reverent “Wow!”

 4.XII.2008

38. Repletion

 A master of catalogue buying

Who had everything, then was sighing –

He knelt down to pray:

“Let’s call it a day!”

And so he was peacefully … dying!

 4.XII.2008

39. Climate Crisis

 The Goddess of Earth, the Greek Gaea,

Was global without an idea –

She sees the disaster,

To get even faster

A heavenly … diarrhoea!

 4.XII.2008

40. Minimally Invasive

 A philosopher, who was convening

His colleagues, was searching for meaning –

They discussed long and loud,

After all, they found out:

True wisdom means: no intervening …!

 4.XII.2008

41. Leila’s Limerick

 Happy Birthday, Mrs. Young, forty-eight,

Four dozens now, what a great date –

Dear Leila, the issue

Is, I’d like to wish you

Many more dozens till Heavens Gate …!

 05.XII.2008

42. German?!

 A friend in Berlin, far from Sherman,

Required a limerick in German –

„Das geht alle Male,

My dear raumspirale:

But my readership has to determine!”

 5.XII.2008

43. Dungeon Master

 From far Indonesia’s Komodo

To my dungeon came Old Quasimodo –

He’s here as my master,

Oh, what a disaster:

I feel now extinct like a dodo!

 6.XII.2008

44. Lovelight

 Assisting you like an old deacon,

To strengthen you, never to weaken –

To brighten and love you,

Just like a peace dove, who

Is everlasting your beacon …!

 6.XII.2008

 45. Nuts

 She’d like to play ukulele, but

She always longs for a daily nut –

Because of no money,

She longed for her tunny …

What a lovely fish is dear Halibut!

 10.XII.2008

46. Zoom

 To be or not to be human:

In the spaceship called Earth we are crewmen –

The meaning of Life

Is Love to be rife,

See above, and therefore let’s zoom in!

 10.XII.2008

47. Shooting Star

 Inspired by angels, how fruiting,

There isn’t any disputing –

So sweet just as taffy,

These words from Old Zephy:

Happy Birthday, your stars may be shooting!

 14.XII.2008

48. Language Polishing

 “You only write English here, why?!”

Asked Patalach with a big sigh –

“Some Germans here (crazy),

And we are some lazy!”

Was Karen’s (Queen’s English!) reply…

 15.XII.2008 

49. Groundbreaking

 My dungeon’s entrance is found!

The discoverer may be renowned –

It’s more than a whim,

Quick, come to me, Kim:

Let’s celebrate on holy ground!

 17.XII.2008

50. Drunk-Art

 Overwhelmed, but surely not conquered,

And close to the ground, but not hunkered –

For Life is too short,

To build a resort:

That’s what I call Drunk-Art, dear Drunkard!

 16.XII.2008

51. Street Art

 There was a great expert of street art,

Who accounted it mostly as cheat art –

When every yard

Was ready-made art,

He bequeathed all the crap to his sweetheart!

 20.XII.2008

52. A Christmas Carol

 A flood of snow landed below,

So much, that all people said: “Oh!”

I could hear good old Britain’s

Father Christmas (with mittens!):

“Happy holidays” and “Ho, ho, ho!”

 21.XII.2008

53-55. Tao Te Ching, Ch. 1

 A Dao that can be defined,

Is not the eternity kind –

All concepts and dreams

Are mortal: Man seems

For heavenly origins … blind!

Conceivable is on the other

Side: myriad creatures’ Big Mother –

So, without desire,

See mystery’s fire,

Yet with it: all surfaces rather …

These two, they emerge some imperious,

Two names, but combined more delirious –

So, let’s call this door

Of secrets and more:

All mysteries’ Gate, deep mysterious …

 24.XII.2008

56. Christmas Thyme

 A limerick once searched a rhyme,

And suddenly rang bell and chime –

For Kimmy and Sand,

Zeph, Zar, and, and, and …

That’s  Christmas - from Thyme to Thyme

 24.XII.2008

57. A Drink of Barley

 This haggard Earth needs kind of marly,

Development needs open parley –

With a keen sense of isthmus:

In the spirit of Christmas …

Let’s toast now, dear Zephy and Gnarly! ;-)

 24.XII.2008

58. Gragg

 I do not believe in the creed,

What any religions may need –

Sometimes, I’m silent,

Better than violent:

I’m often here only to read …

 25.XII.2008

59. Heart

 Heart is the language of choice,

And also is heart our voice –

This truth is at hand

Not only for Sand:

But dumbheads prefer yet Rolls Royce …

 25.XII.2008

60. They and Me

 Consciousness: very constructive …

And imaginary-obstructive:

Whatever you see

And hear, it’s your “Me” -

Fear in disguise is … seductive!

 25.XII.2008

61. Fifty-fifty

 Now Heaven was kissing your pathway,

Old German Knight wish’s you a love way –

My healing was brusque?!

For Dawn and for Dusk:

Be careful, till 100 it’s halfway …!

 17.I.2009

62. Ding’s Limerick

 There was a blood brother named Ding,

Whose smile had a juvenile swing –

We met once in Greece,

In sunshine and peace:

Life’s autumn seems our real spring!

 21.I.2009

63. Non-Platonic

 to the most real of mankind's Xanthippes,

Old Socrates said: "make a striptease"!

But in spite of ideas,

husband's hopes became fears:

her frigidity even let slips freeze ...

 22.I.2009

64. Hey, Dude

A dude in Old Michigan vowed

A fee … when more posts be allowed –

But Brad found that weird,

And the dude disappeared

In the shroud of a Mushroomy Cloud …!

3.III.2009

65. Boo!

A 40 years old Mr. Boo,

In GC was he relative new,

For more photos once asked,

But especially unmasked,

He said: No, my tattoo is taboo!

3.III.2009

66. Havin’ a Laugh…

A warrior, named ScYtHiAn WiTcH,

Who felt once an itch to get rich

In Eco-like money,

But musical funny:

He rented his absolute pitch!

3.III.2009

67. What's in a name?

There was a Tibetan guy Romeo

With the musical prename of Tony, oh!

As a sympathy strike?!

Pema Namgyal like …

He seems honest, he never was phony, no!

3.III.2009

68. Enlightening

There was a shapeshifting young moon

So globally conscious (no swoon!) –

Decreasing, declining,

This moonlight is shining:

Without a religion … in tune!

3.III.2009

69. Full stop

Zarathustra, from Dharma a drop,

Was a Head Doctor more than a cop –

So hate or excuse it,

And Use It OR Lose It

That’s Huckleberry Tombstone. (Full stop).

3.III.2009

70. Brad

He wrote on himself, oh, I see:

“Just a normal guy like you and me” –

Is he great? – Even greater,

He is our creator:

In the beginning he created GC!

10.III.2009

71. Presently Playing

With Joyous endeavours, we’ve soon

Ever changing, a shapeshifting moon

He likes Hilmar’s big trend:

To never ever offend…

He keeps moonlight as signature tune!

10.III.2009

72. Rosy

What’s life – more a byway or highway?

Well, rosiesworld should be a skyway:

For GC-like connecting,

Letting be, not directing –

It’s HER way to sing “It was my way!”

10.III.2009

73. Trans-Late

 A GC-friend from far-east Shanghai

tries analects’ stocks to imply –

the awareness goes wider,

in the church an outsider:

lost Jane, but seems winning the sky …!

 21.III.2009

74. Freebooter

 A Whisperer of Melbourne’s Sea,

And a captain of highest degree –

Ahoy, all my chums!

Hear my Hum de ha hums:

They sound like a plea to be free …

 22.III.2009

75. sand-storm

 „No entry“ sign there, on the transom,

Indoors: a man, SAND once called “handsome” (!) –

help the DAO-sir! (from: dowser),

with a GC-proven browser:

Quasimodo wants a million as ransom …!

  28.III.2009

76. Elena’s Birthday

 The magic of “wooly blue curls”

Is hidden in seconds like pearls –

New age?! (laughs the sage),

Little bird in a cage:

That’s the Dao of all Boys and Girls …

 28.III.2009

77. Balance of Nature

 There’s a Sunshine from South Colorado,

Liking honesty more than bravado –

Full of Soul and of Dixie,

Wholesome Peacenik and Pixie:

“Guys, less cow milk, enjoy avocado!”

10.V.2009

78. Body Double

Tony, there’s someone maintaining

(how flaming!) the old flame of flaming –

Mr. Dasbrud, eh? … Hyde?

Dr. Jeckyll… (his bride?):

LOL, Pema, a tiger needs taming! ;-)

21.VI.2009

79. Wabak

There’s an artist whose feelings will flow,

his fatherly heart has to glow –

he’s not looking back,

he's on the right track:

Wabak means “future”, you know…

07.VIII.2009

80. Raising Blush

In Michigan, in the northeast,

it’s sunny, but windy at least -

tomatoes?!  - Indeed:

they blush! Oh, to read

from Kimmy: a lovely feast!

21.VIII.2009

81. Raising Lush

Oh, every little plant climbs:

Even chickpeas … and crave it at times!

What a humus, so chunky

I’m not funky, but spunky…

(please excuse all these terrible rhymes).

21.VIII.2009

82. Raising Time

The TIME, always ticking „tick – tock“,

Is measured by a strange thing called “clock” ,

So always to chase

Through time and through space -

For Nature herself it’s a mock …

22.VIII.2009

82. Happy Birthday!

My Sister in Dào named Karen

From Liverpool which is not barren

My love to you, Kazz,

Maintain your pizzazz -

Dear Monk and dear nun,

It’s only a pun –

Yours senses of humour to seeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 27. I. 2010

*dedicated to Dick Tracy!

87. Half-time

 There’s a horsefriend from Leicester, called Dave,

(Somewhat brave, more a knight than a knave),

Who queried, aged fifty:

“Am I shifty or nifty?!” –

“Well, I’m mad!”- and he gave it a rave!

1.II.2010

88. Cheers mate!

Sea Captains like rum-de-rum drinks,

Then forty… plus fourteen more winks –

And sometimes one finds

Antipodal minds,

Believe me, as soul mates - true dinks!

21.II.2010

89. “Levitations”…

 A boy in Nashville, Tennessee,

Unconditional love be their key…!

Victims of all countries, unite!

 3.IV.2010

 What goal in life is now to climb –

Or some deeper and painful:

It’s all that and a prime timely rhyme!

5.IV.2010

* * *

English / German:

* * *

German, 1965 ff.:

1. Unplatonisch

 Es sprach zu dem Weib, das Xanthipp' hieß

Old Sokrates: 'mach mal 'n Striptease'!

doch trotz all dieser Tricks

klappte weiterhin nix

denn Xanthippe war selbst noch beim Strip mies ...

2. Anti-Körper

 Es war einmal ein Antipode,

der fühlte sich schrecklich marode,

der Kopf hing nach unten –

geburtsortgebunden!

das führte dann schließlich zum Tode ...

  3. Grauen

 Ein Regime hatte ein Territorium

inklusive 'nem Laboratorium,

was da so geschah,

hielt niemand für wahr –

das Ende hieß meist: Krematorium ...

 4. Konsequenz

 Es schrieb ein bekannter Erzähler

zuviel über Irrenspitäler,

man zeigte sie ihm

ganz genau, das Regime

dort, das brauchte ja niemand als Wähler ...

5. Machtwechsel

 Es war eine Orientalin

schon lange des Sultans Gemahlin,

am Tag war sie stolz,

doch des Nachts wohl aus Holz –

denn da hatte sie manche Rivalin ...

6. Kunstgeschmack

 Es war mal 'ne sehr pittoreske

altrömische Kirchenwandfreske,

die bewarf doch ein Dummkopf

mit 'nem riesigen Rumtopf!

da wurde das Bild zur Groteske ...

7. Zwickmühle

 Es saß mal in Mann auf 'nem Örtchen

und aß da ein Stachelbeertörtchen,

bald ärgerts verflixt ihn,

denn irgendwo pikst's ihn -–

doch wagte er kein Sterbenswörtchen ...

8. Stress

 Es war mal ein Steuerberater

und zwar ein besonders rabiater,

er war ständig in Trab,

auch sich selbst schrieb er ab –

da landete er beim Psychiater ...

9. Wettbewerb

 Es gab da zwei Adelsfamilien,

die sammelten beide Fossilien,

sie war'n sooo gescheit

und kriegten doch Streit:

es lag an Imponderabilien ...

10. Rigorosum

 Es pochte ein Examinand

statt auf's Pauken auf seinen Verstand,

doch der half ihm wenig

und Kritisches eh nich' –

denn das fand man erst recht allerhand ...

11. Laster

Ein Mann aus Damast - ein Damaster!

durchlebte unzählige Laster,

doch woher nahm der Scheinheld

nur das nötige Kleingeld?

beim Canasta gewann er den Zaster ...

12. Nervenkitzel

es war mal ein Mädchen vom Sauerlande,

das Fußreflexzonen genauer kannte,

als die Herrn Neurologen,

so dass, ungelogen –

über'n Tigerrücken selbst noch 'n Schauer rannte ...

13. Renten-Limerick

 Erst gibt’s den normalen Arbeitslohn,

Dann winkt die heilige Voll-Pension –

Frau M. sagte keck:

„Ich bin dann mal weg!“

Vermissen werden alle sie schon!

14. Stapelchen

Es war ein gewisser Herr Gruber,

der spielte mehr Zither als Tuba –

und löste erklecklich,

wie Iwan so schrecklich:

Problemchen im Schach gleich im Schuber!

15. Lamarick

Mister Guntram vom Stamme Skroblin 
Bereiste gern Indien, wie’s schien – 
Und wird er noch Hundert, 
Bereist er bewundert 
Jede Stadt zwischen Delhi und Wien …!

Ein Mann namens Jörg sowie Krautter

Lebt im Saarland, recht fleißig und lauter,

Doch der höchste Gewinn, der

heißt Frau und heißt Kinder -

Und darauf, zu recht, darauf baut er ..!

...

Appendix:

I used to find Slashdot delightful,
but my feelings of late are more spiteful;
My comments sarcastic
the iconoclastic
keep modding to plus five (insightful).

Randall Munroe

On GC his rhymes were familiar,

The Lime ricks of dear Mr. Hilmar.

He wrote them for all,

With hardly a stall,

And the GC community loves him, yeah!
