Limericks About Books Seanan Loves Dearly.
IT:
Poor Georgie ran after his boat;
The clown said 'down here, we all float'.
Now Stuttering Bill
Has a monster to kill,
Or It's certain to tear out his throat!
Fire and Hemlock:
Don't put a book down on its face,
Or trust men who come from That Place.
Gran tried hard to advise,
But our Pol wasn't wise,
And got caught in a fairy-time race.
The Stand:
A sniffle, a cough, and a sneeze,
And the whole world is brought to its knees.
God said 'no more rain,'
But why should he refrain
From deluging the world with disease?
The Dark Tower (full series):
No mortal hands this Tower rose
In the fields where the universe grows.
Now Roland must wander
From home to the yonder
To learn what he already knows.
Mirabile:
Don't tie DNA up in bows;
You can't control just where it goes,
And you will be vexed
When you're Kangaroo Rex'd.
Genetics should not be freak shows.
On Writing:
Slaughter your darlings, my friends;
Let adverbs seek swift, messy ends.
Whatever is uttered,
Use 'said' and not 'muttered,'
And follow the tale where it bends.
Limerick me! I want to see what the twisted minds of the rest of the world can produce. Also, I find this funny.

Poor Milo was struck with ennui,
'till the strangest of toys set him free!
He met numbers and letters,
And now thinks it better
To live his life and not just 'be.'
American Gods:
Shadow's a tragic ex-convict
Who's just found out Odin's a dick.
But try as he might,
He can't save the god's fight,
So he's hung himself up on a stick.
Matilda:
A brilliant young woman, Matilda,
Heard "Your headmistress is out to kill ya!"
She's saving Miss Honey,
Her folks now look funny;
Telekinesis makes her a thrilla.
Beowulf:
Hrothgar is in some deep scit
'Cause his mead-hall just keeps getting hit.
But here comes a Geat
To accomplish the feat -
Monster? Mom? Dragon? That's it!
('Scitan' is an Old English verb that gave us the word we know and pronounce the same way today!)
