Queen Bee Hall Of Odes

[MarsOlson]

Queen Bee Hall Of Odes

In honour of our favourite busy bee, Lynnie!, for all the fun she provided during the sNEAK attACK DSP Trivia (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39084). Have a good chuckle reading her rhymes and the ones written for her. Add one of your own limericks to the 'cuebeehoo' any time!


First little limerick for the hall that started it all...

The Bee needs a thread for her Odes
So her odes have a stylish abode
So time after time
As she buzzes a rhyme
There's a thread in which each can be stowed

[MarsOlson]

"i'm off to turn the chicken, the wonderful chicken of... Of...." i got nothin'.

are you in oz neaker?

it would have been perfect if i were...but alas. That's why i got nothing. My unfinished ode to an oven-baked chicken.

oh this is an ode to an oven-baked chicken
who was a cookin', when i was a'neakin'
the smell is so good that it makes my mouth water
but i'm tempted by trivia, though i know i should aught-er
go and eat in my nice little kitchen
that sweet tasty tender, oven-baked chicken

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I'm speechless. And that's saying something!

neaker is speechless? Well, i'm speechless too!
Whodathunk that my poem would de-speechify you!
Perhaps this addition will freeze up your joints
and we can 'neak up and catch up to your points

I've just been reading all the pages that were posted whilst I was out to dinner (yes, SOME of us do go away from the keyboard!) and I'm rolling on the floor...Lynnie, you are a hoot!

scamp left the keyboard and rolled on the floor
the floor, it was slanted and she rolled out the door
she picked herself up and sat down once again
and tapped on her keyboard to say "lynnie's to blame"

you are freakishly fast neaker!

freakishly fast is the neaker when neaking
rapid her mind with the answers she's seeking
faster are her fingers when typing the trivia
while the rest of us bumble in blithering oblivia

Blithering oblivia is so apt for me as I bumble my way around in here trying to keep up:D

[MarsOlson]

What is the challenge with the word art masks
The queen of the trivia so cleverly asks
and who will answer - the fastest of fast
And who will be with me, at the end, at the last

the bee has buzzed in and swooped up a point
hopefully 'neaker won't get out of joint
the bee has just one and no longer a zero
but neaker's the leader and dsp hero

The things we are trivia-ing we really should know,
The ways we can find things and places to go
Mars you are Mars-velous oh all-knowing one
Empress of the internet, Mars and the sun!
(and the universe, too, but that didn't rhyme,
If you will forgive me,this one little time!)

oh marsvelous, marsvelous, beryl's in third
but who is in second, that i haven't heard
with one lonely point, i know i'm not last
perhaps i'll earn more, if i can be fast
but neaker has streaked ahead of the pack
ask her some trivia where knowledge doth lack
and we will catch up, have our day in the sun
or will i just rest here with my lonely one

Honeymoon's nipping at Neaker's wee heels
Waiting and wanting a few points to steal
Desiring and dreaming on that shiny bright crown
"Oh neaker, oh neaker" she says "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"

the bee has to work so she won't be here much
but tight to her buzzum her one point she'll clutch
how lovely and shiny, her beautiful one
and bee will admire it until this game is done.

A boy called Little Jack Horner
Was sitting in Commenters' Corner
On a layout he said
"what a nice use of red"
and "This page kit is quite a performer!"

The lowest designer is four
Tina Chambers whom we all adore
She's a star at word art
and she's ever-so Smart
Her stuff can be bought in our store!

[MarsOlson]

I have a tough one for you

Mars, our dear Mars has a tough one
I'm afraid that it might be a rough one
An answer or two
from me or from you
Perhaps we can trick her and bluff one

Some of us answered "the What? light"
Some of us thought it was Hotlight
Feb 2007
DSP was in heaven
Cause Mars was our wonderful spotlight
---

[MarsOlson]

Dear trivia friends it is time
To stop with the rhythm and rhyme
My work, I should mention
Needs time and attention
I am, after all, on their dime!

But please, dear ones, keep a-counting
and keep all those fine points a-mounting
Til I can return
and perhaps I can earn
Enough to demand a re-counting

And so I must now depart
With a heavy and distracted heart
Since my word's run amuck
And I'm out of luck
And working would only be smart
***


Two points is way better than one
I've revv'd up and joined in the fun
Planning neaker to neak
I'm now on a streak
Though I admit that I haven't quite won

Ok, Ok, I snuck back
My job all this pleasure doth lack
This game is amusing
As we are perusing
The site with the Trivia Pack

[MarsOlson]

a squishy pile of fried circuits and melted plastic goo.
This NEEDS a poem. It CRIES OUT for a poem!!!
A squishy pile of fried circuits and melted plastic goo.
That's what DSP would be without the you-know-who
They bip, they bop they're everywhere, they're really rather odd
They's DSP's A-Team - the fabulous Mod Squad!!

***
neaker's

there was a young lady named neaker
who was an incredible sneaker
but when her dog farkled
her sneakers just sparkled
and her answers grew weaker and weaker

the trivia folks went to chat
to chat about this, about that
a point will be earned
when each one returned
with all of their answers down pat

nicole is the featured designer
with all of the scrappers behind her
scrap just with her stuff
(oh, you have enough)
and here is where you will find her
NICOLE'S FEATURED DESIGNER CHALLENGE (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39007)

[MarsOlson]

LOL Bee we need a whole thread of all your odes
The Bee needs a thread for her Odes
So her odes have a stylish abode
So time after time
As she buzzes a rhyme
There's a thread in which each can be stowed
She's quite the quippy chick.
"the bee," neaker said "is quite quippy."
"but i am incredibly nippy"
i nip in and nip out
so without a doubt
"there's more points in being quite slippery"

ok, i left you at page 75 and now you're at 98!!!!!!
she left us at page seventy-five
when neaker was barely alive
and now at ninety-eight
up-over is late
the down-unders come out of their hive

the bee is alone at this time
not even a glass of red wine
the wise ones have left
leaving her all bereft
she's thinking perhaps it's a sign

oh my lynnie, you really are the queenbee of ode. . .
lynnie, the queenbee of ode
has gone into poetry mode
and so at this time
she is speaking in rhyme
as the doctors approach her abode

[MarsOlson]

In the store is Up Up and Away
The newest kit in just today
Lauren's the designer
There ain't no one finer
Than Lauren, there is just no-way

If I got a point, that makes three
Three points for a-buzzing wee Bee
She thinks she's a sneak
neaking up on the Neak
But the buzz stopped her earning point spree

The Bee now is going night-night
And out goes the little-Bee light
Hear a soft gentle snore
for her buzz is no more
And her dreams are a rhymer's delight
***

[MarsOlson]

The Bee has arose from her napping
To see if it's tme to start scrapping
But Mars is now sleeping
So the Bee is here weeping
With her tiny wings all a-flapping..

But now it is time to start driving
To work where she does her bee-hiving
And away she will stay
from this thread all the day
Without her it will be a-thriving :(

My point count will sadly diminish
The winner will not be The Lynnish
Perhaps there's a chance
Send neak out to dance?
And I can swoop in at the finish

So Mars, have a fine day without me
If you need me, just buzz me or shout me
Cause the Bee is a-Bye-ing
The buzz is not lying
And there is no reason to doubt me
***

[MarsOlson]

The Limerick Bee has popped in
Though here from her work, it's a sin
But the Bee is addicted
and though she's conflicted
She tries and she tries that poor Lyn
***
Long ago when Lynnie was hired
She thought she would stay til retired
But now all the time
The Bee speaks in rhyme
So maybe she'll end up as FIRED

[MarsOlson]

Question 113
3 points per person that writes a limerick for bee (lynnie)
***
Here is a limerick for Bee
She's a limerick writer, you see
Does she get points too?
Or are they only for you?
And the writer won't count if it's she?

Ok... a limerick writer I am NOT.... but no one said it had to bee good...

There once was a girl named Lynnie
Who loved to have tea with mouse Minnie
At work she typed letters in rhyme
Her boss did not think it devine
Our poor poor unemployed Bee
Now has more time for DSPee

A curious cat likes to climb,
so why should that be such a crime?
Don't get all upset
when your pretentious pet
meows: "Please let me have a good time."

:( I can't do trivia; I can't do limericks. Am I doomed to be a ZERO for ever????? :(


surely grandma crys has some time
for one little limerick rhyme
to please the bee
when she comes to see
maybe you could even do mine!

113.
My limerick's for Bee
And surely you will see
My little rhyme
Took little time
To get 3 points for me!

Hee Hee:D

My ode to Lynnie

There once was a girl called Formby
Who then became the Queen B
DSP is her home
And she scraps up a storm
And now we know her as Lynnie


There once was little scrapmonkey
who was in a bit of a bind you see
the challenge a rhyme
she didn't want to run out of time
And not have an ode for our Bee

There once was a girl called Lynnie
She was quite the charmer you see
Her words she would rhyme
Her scrapbooking divine
And now she is the Queen Bee

[MarsOlson]

The rhymes I can do quite quickly
As long as the readers aren't fickley
Quite often I find
That the 30-sec time
Is the thing that I find the most prickley

queen bee is back in the hive
she makes us all come alive
with her antics
and tricks
we buzz and we jive

I encountered the planet of Mars
she shone brilliant among the stars
her talents were many
she gave challenge to any
and questioned with answers she knew
Now we're all stuck here like glue!!!

Oh Mars, Oh Mars, midst the planets and stars
The carpet of heaven's your frame
The comets fly by cross a dark velvet sky
All part of the empress' domain

The moon, the rings, interplanetry things
Are awed by the things that she knows
Black holes and the sun know that she is the one
Through whom all the universe flows

If you don't know yet, the whole internet
Is one of the things that she rules
The universe too, gives the empress her due
Planet Mars is just one of her jewels

And we are all here with the one we hold dear
The empress of all that we see
And we can't believe, we can't even conceive
That she's here playing games, so are we!
***

[MarsOlson]

i am unable to write a limerick
the thought of it makes me quite sick
but for you i will try
my best to comply
but i hope you dont give me the flick
giving the flick to jill
would make me so very ill
i'd say bye bye
and you'd have a good cry
and i'd mention you all in my will
the bee buzzes off to a star
driving her little red car
with a sweet little drone
the bee buzzes home
and says "cheerio and ta-ta!"

[MarsOlson]

There is this fine lady, Miss Lynnie,
She writes all these wonderful ditties.
She puts us to shame,
With her talent and fame,
And makes points grow, she’s so witty!
There was a young poster named Formby
Who hailed from most sunny Californee
She joined DSP in aught six
and shared her marvelous wit
and in 07, the dear girl was spotlit.

She joined the Elite, she made the A Team,
Her gallery's the happening scene.
With much scrapping of Princesses,
and their perfectly coiffed tresses,
with beauty, her layouts she stresses.

She's the QueenBee of rhyme and of meter
as far as the poetry goes, we can't beat her.
But to win Mars' points,
so with three she anoints,
I hope this poem won't disappoint.

She changed her username to Lynnie
Part of Team Digital she is, there's the skinny
With the odd Mod Squadder or two
She'll make us stick to the rules
because that's what the super powers do.
it will be enshrined with the others in the QB HOO
we have a cuebeehooooo?
lol @ cuebeehoo
Queen Bee Hall of Odes

[MarsOlson]

It's OK - I will keep my day job!

Lynnie dear you remind me of the beautiful moon
Your clever limericks make me sometimes swoon
Your help on the forum,
Always enables a quorum,
I hope you had a great time this past June.

I know a sweet lady called Bee
She lives at DSP
I wish I was like her
She's a very fine scrapper
And everyone loves her, you see

Id love to get in the Cuebeehoo
But Im sure I dont have the talent to
P'raps this one will make it
And hopefully won't break it
'Cos then I would be in the poo

I really love my limericks!
Thank you :)

[MarsOlson]

Mars wants Mandy to rhyme
before she runs out of time
But Mandy's not willing
So Neaker'll be filling
her poetical spot so sublime.

Hey Diddle Diddle
Mandy needs a riddle
To earn her 3 points in the game
Shes drawing a blank
At riddles she stank
And the riddles we make are just lame.

Although Neaker's currently first
In trivia she is well-versed
But I have a plan
To answer quick as I can
And then zoom right by in a burst

Work, of course, gets in the way
Of zooming right past in a day
I'll work out just how
Since I have to leave now
And cannot jump in on the fray
---

[MarsOlson]

you have until the last day of the quiz... you will all bee enshrined in the Queen Bee Hall of Odes... or the 'cuebeehoo' as neaker dubbed it.

Easy-peasy! All you have to do is write a limerick about Bee (Lynnie), pm it to GrandmaCrys (me) and allow me to post it here! Practically a no-brainer! :D :D

There once was a girl named Bee
Who had a way with words, you see
She posts all of her verse in rhyme
And pops in at dsp from time to time

There you go! 007: Only you're going to have to give the point to Beryl, because she's my new BFF and she actually wrote it! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This really is such a friendly site, people always helping others out:lol:
---

[MarsOlson]

The bee's dropping in to say hi
And drop love as she buzzes right by
She loves you a bunch
and She's just had her lunch
in case you were wondering why

There once was a girl they called Bee.
She loved digi-scrapping, you see.
She'd scrap and she'd chat,
Sometimes wear a red hat,
You can always find her at DSP!

I've been reading the poems, they're great
But perhaps we are here tempting fate
What if some other
Dropped in to discover
What talents we have on our plate

But we're part of the DSP crew
who knows what would DSP do
But I have no doubt
They couldn't manage without
Empress Mars and me and you!

Empress Marsy in the starsies
How do your planets grow
With galaxy things and startdust rings
and moonbeams all in a row

[MarsOlson]

For Lynnie:

There was a young man from Japan
who's limericks never would scan
when they told him it was so
he said 'yes I know
but I always try and get as many words in that last line as I ever possibly can.

hehe
---
for Lynnie:

ok, another for Lynnie:

I once had a Friend named Mars
who loved to frequent the Stars
she thought she was one
But sadly she was none
Instead she was really A Czar!

[MarsOlson]

Today as I sit in the gloaming
The waterfall dazzling and foaming
Were you reminiscing ?
Did you see I was missing?
While I was a-busy a-roaming

Do you find these rhymes simply annoying?
Are my poems on your list for destroying?
Do you find them a chore?
Or would you like more?
And think they are here for enjoying

You left when I entered this forum
With speed and astounding decorum
So please, I implore
Do these limericks bore?
Or do you completely adore-em

oh yes how we missed the bee!
and the rhymes that spread such glee!
oh please come back
before you hit the sack
and make another for me!

Oh Mars! You are Here! You came Back!
With a spin and an orbit and ACK!
I glad that you missed me
Your limerick kissed me
I'm here to play sNEAK attACK!

You are the queen of the forum
With elegance and decorum
with words that astound
and meanings profound
that never could ever bore-um

This lyric is better than mine is
Perhaps we all know what the time is
For the Bee to retire
And pass on the fire
To heather, whose greater the rhyme is

[MarsOlson]

Poem, by Leslie Smyers

Mars, Mars, you remind me of the stars,
All glittery and pretty,
Like the lights in the city...

Gees, I'm incredible! :)

the One has style
said with a smile
aint it grand
shes never bland
with her feminine wile

These limericks, saved for posterity
Are unlikely to bring us prosperity
But at least for a while
They'll bring us a smile
I can say with enormous sincerity

Ode To Mars

Mars works all night and sleeps all day
Churning out layouts without any pay
She has the knack
Of leading the pack
With always a kind word to say.

Lynnie the Bee has retired
And Heather the Honey is hired
Her rhyme and her meter
Just couldn't be sweeter
Perfect and completely inspired!

---

[MarsOlson]

The count on our layouts is wrong
But has many of us singing a song
Our numbers are jumping
And thumping and bumping
As we're commenting all the day long

neaker works at sonic speed
always taking the trivia lead
with fingers fast
she's never last
Typing the answers we need

I ate the lime
I have no time,
for limericks or poetry
The days are past
my mind's not fast
And everything moves slowerly
---

[MarsOlson]

there lady named mars
who loved to play with the stars
she knew she should quiz us
but she wanted to scrap
and, instead she drove away in a very very fast car!

I encountered the planet of Mars
she shone brilliant among the stars
her talents were many
she gave challenge to any
and questioned with answers she knew
Now we're all stuck here like glue!!!

While Mars is tucked safe in her bed
And the Trivians all lurk on this thread
It is quite a mystery
Are the questions all history
We feel the end coming in dread!

So rise up oh empress, we need you
Perhaps, if we promise to feed you
You will ask for a year
The questions we hold so dear
And whatever you say, we will heed you.

The Trivia empress, she sleeps
While the Trivia conclave all weeps
We are sensing the end
Of our trivia bend
And the empress spends time counting sheeps
---

[MarsOlson]

Though neaker is winning by far
The DSP Trivia star
The points she has got
number, well, quite a lot
She'll smoke the winner's cigar

But I find that we've all got to win
we can leave with a big silly grin
Though points we've not earned
Look all we have learned
Next time we will be Neaker's twin!

Ah - but the game is not o'er
If Neaker will jump in the shower
Then her we can catch
And our scores will match
And we'll be the ones with the power!!

There once was a granny named Jill
WHose cheerleading gave us a thrill
They jumped up and jumped down
Never hitting the ground
And never, no never, were still

the bee of fame is back!
she makes up what I lack
for just one rhyme
I would pay a dime
and trade her for an Ack!™

Yes, yes the Bee is feeling quite wordy
But her limericks are hurdy gurdy
She's rhyming at random
And her meter's not tandem
And her logic's a little bit nerdy

No no it was not all the amplitudes
That had such an up and a downitude
Twas the cheerleading gals
That are evergreen's pals
that had all the vim and the bouncitudes!

---

[MarsOlson]

Did you see on the thread CIJ
That Honeymoon limericked away
Now she is the bard
She'll find that it's hard
To post things in rhyme every day!!


Fiona's the honeymoon Bard of the Season
She makes lovely ballads for any old reason
So come visit us
And we'll make fun and fuss
To go elsewhere would simply be TREASON!!

Question 365
First person to find the limerick Lynnie is referring to and pastes it here gets a point- so I can put it in the cuebeehoo

What the heck is a cuebeehoo???

Its where Mars is going to enshrine all the limericks for posterity.
Its QBHOO - Queen Bee Hall of Odes. But the acronym reads "cuebeehoo"

Lynnie's limerick for honeymoon
Oh welcome oh Spirit one....
We are so glad you've come.
We DSP'rs do know how to party
And we are also known to be quite arty
So bring on the Christmas fun.
---

[MarsOlson]

The Empress is now out to lunch
And alone are the Trivian bunch
What now we must think
As we sit here and drink
Cause now it is time for the crunch!

So neaker is neaking a break now
One has a cappuccino shake now
And evergreen bounces
And Bee just announces
It's a mistake to make a mistake now!!
---

[MarsOlson]

Here's the promised limerick ... in Danish :D

Vi kender Bee fra Internettet
Men I havde nok aldrig gættet
At når hun rimer
Al’ dagens timer
Hun sjældent sin blære får lettet

I'll gladly give my points for the limerick away to the one who can translate this ;) ;)


Translations:
Vi recognizing Bee from InternettetMen TO had very likely never gættetAt når she rimerAl’ todays classes She sjældent one blære
får dispersed

ROFL - what is that? Chinese?

We know Bee from the Internet
But you had probably never guessed that when she rhymes Hard pan' the day's hours
She seldom her bubble manages to lighten

Well you got the first part right. But bubble? :)

Queen Bee of the Internet
My man and I have, and you won't get
At the icy rock
Al Dagen's clock
will chime, so don't forget

Knowing Bee from the internet
I never would have guessed
Or figured she was good
At rhyming and stuff
She has to pee alot?

I don't know how close this is but here is what I found:
We know from the Internet Bee
But I would have never guessed
That when she rimer
Al 'daily hours
She rarely have relieved his bladder

:confused::confused::confused:


We know bee from the Internet
but we never would have guessed
that when she is rhyming
all day long
she rarely goes potty

is that close?

Congrats Mars, I do believe you've just gotten the first points in your own challenge.

It's close enough!

The Trivian genius has spoken
She's not on a break and's not broken
She's reading the odes
That Bee has bestowed
Til the Trivians have all awoken

The Empress is now out to lunch
And alone are the Trivian bunch
What now we must think
As we sit here and drink
Cause now it is time for the crunch!

[MarsOlson]

I tried to say thank you in Rhyme
For the empress of sNEAK attACK time
I can no longer spout
A thousand rhymes out
My limericks are way past their prime!

But thank you anyway, dear Mars
From the DSP Trivian stars
We had a great time
in prose and in rhyme
And survived it without any scars!


Alas it has come to an end now
No Empress to drive round the bend now
And yes, it was bliss, it
is certain we'll miss it
And certainly miss all our friends now

But gladly we'll see one another
Particularly our Trivian Mother
Our Empress, our ruler
(we never can fool her)
Take your hat off dear friends to each other!

***
We’ve been Neaked, we’ve been Jenned
There’s Beryl Again
And watch out for that sneaky One
But it’s come to an end
And we’re all still friends
And Mars is just glad it is done.

Thousands of posts
Thanks to our host
Resulted in hundreds of quests
There were Odes to the Bee
The laughter was free
As we discovered why DSP’s best.

As our computer now rests
And we no longer refresh
We wonder what to do with our time
There’s housework and cooking
But we know you’re still looking
For the appearance of question or rhyme.

So our thanks goes to Mars
For sending us far
And wide on our trivia quest
She’s lead us astray
From our day to day
And now we may finally rest.

[bludlfn003]

these are absolutely hilarious:rofl: Thepages went by so fast in the thread that I wasn't able to keep up but, I have just finished reading them all, and my favorite was neakers oven baked chicken. You've got some talent if you can limerick about a chicken.

[MarsOlson]

My favourite was 'Marsy in the starsies' lol

[Lynnie]

I have a soft spot for the one about Jill's Bouncitudes :D

[nekobus]

I have a soft spot for the one about Jill's Bouncitudes :D

I think Jill's Bouncitudes are a soft spot, yes?

Just to make sure its clear....it was my chicken, but Lynnie's limerick. I loved it too! :rofl:

[scamptx]

The cuebeehoo is wonderful! I have been sitting here laughing my head off...Some I had missed, and some were just as funny the second time around!

MMMMMMMMWAAAHHH to Mars! And Lynnie! And all the rhymesters! And to DSP--where else would such a wild and fun event happen! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[evergreen100]

I have a soft spot for the "Bouncitudes" too:D:D:D

[evergreen100]

I think Jill's Bouncitudes are a soft spot, yes?
Two soft spots in fact:rofl::rofl:

[evergreen100]

I missed so many of these gems, lots in the fast pace of the thread. It is great to catch up with all of them in the CueBeeHoo.

[Fulltime RVer]

What a riot! My mojo has left me and I needed this!

[Donut]

I've just re-read all of these ditties,

My sides are a aching,
My ribs they are shaking
What a talented bunch you all are!

Ok so maybe I had better stick to the day job!:rofl:

"bouncitudes" please...have you no decorum on this forum???:D:D

[Donut]

:rofl: Decorum on the Forum!

To rhyme with your Bouncitudes,
the words I found were all rather rude,
and I did not wish to imply that you, dear Jill, were nude! :eek:

[GrandmaCrys]

What a Marsvelous thread! If I were able, I'm sure I'd be speaking in rhyme the remainder of the day!!

Limericks by Queen Bee from the CIJ Chats

At Christmas this thing called a Tree
Get's dolled up by someone called me
with a partridge and rings
My christmas tree sings
It's quite a great sight to see

ChristmsPresent came and visited our Chat
Cause that is where we're all AT
And presents we got
In every chat slot
When she came in wearing her hat

Once a nice empress named mars
Fell off her planet onto the stars
Ouch she then said
I feel off my bed
I'd better head off to the bars

So cathie took over this time
When muma was stuck on a dime
She jumped right in
with a "sure" and a grin!
She's one DSP member sublime!

Lovely layouts in green and in red
Posting links in the chat schedule thread
And though it's C-I-J
No layouts about the holiday
They have to be summer instead

Tina finished her fab new kit
And we can all purchase it
Fresh inspiration
at the DSP station
As we chat and we scrap as we sit

An ode to pluto is hard
there are few pluto rhymes on my card
So I sit here thinking
and slowly sinking
Less and less of a bard

mars creates amazing art
of which that drink was a part
now tipsy is bee
and cathie's off for a wee
thanks to Mars' kind heart

Tina like's being a geek
Especially in CIJ week
Buy my kits she said
And you'll get ahead
for the title of DSP Freak!

The song will haunt Carole for days
Tearing her hair out in a craze
dancing and singing
through her head it's ringing
and she's going out in a blaze

Proper credits will help when you're scrapping
But not when you're CIJ napping
We love proper links
(and lynnie loves drinks)
And you will have all of us clapping



:santa1:

[MarsOlson]

It's always limerick time
Bee sometimes just speaks in rhyme
and though its annoying
it's a trick she's employing
She'll stop if you pay her a dime

Oh my dinglefraztin' blazzle snort!
and hallowe'en or christmas wart
oh heck and darn
and balls of yarn
Will get us all in cussing court

at 4am I gave up the ghost
(but sadly I was the chat host)
They showed me the door
because of my snore
which is quite a loud snore, I must boast

JD is a great one in charge
She jumps in, becomes the drill sarge
and gets us on track
and never looks back
So everyone PM thanks to Marge!

Margie, a limerick for you
Saying thanks for all that you do
For the FAB DSP
a big thanks from me
to you and the DSP crew

Margie said thanks back to Lynnie
Cause Lynnie's no DSP ninny
I write them so fast
but they aren't meant to last
So all of you grinny at Lynnie

Lynnie's the limerick pooper
and Marsy's the limerick scooper
as Lynnie writes 'em
and Marsy just sight's 'em
and thinks they are super-dooper

Lynnie coul lim in hai-ku
if she could remember what she had to do
She be hai and a ku-ing
and limerick doing
but she can't remember, can you?

Tina's giving a kit away
Ain't that great, ladies, what do you say?
you must know a word
that's what I just heard
to get that great kit TODAY


:santa1:

[MarsOlson]

The chat room went down with a boom
And we couldn't get in the chat room
We had errors and issues
and out came the tissues
As we sat here in misery and gloom

The day is now fading away
the end of the CIJ day
But there's challenges to do
for me and for you
And places for us all to play!

I think that I'm going to cry
As each of us says bye bye
we chatted and laughed
and none of us bathed
And our families are asking us WHY?

We're seeking the mystery tree
who has it? surely not me
Is it out in the threads
We'll send out the feds
The tree we'll all get to see

Here is a cup of tea
For Pyewhacket and dear leslie
with some sugar and cream
the tea can be seen
it's a present from generous bee

The midnight hour has now burned
And to twelve the clocked has now turned
now pumpkins we are
so lets head for the bar
and discuss all the cool stuff we've learned

So dears, bye bye from the Bee
As she hunts down the mystery tree
to her pillow she goes
dreaming of CIJ snows
and freebies from great DSP

:santa1:

[scamptx]

So Lynnie has rhymed once again
and Mars challenges us, man o man!
To keep up with Bee
Oh, no, it's not me!
Who can easily follow her plan

[bendipez]

DSP is the place to bee
awesome kits as far as the eye can see
well cr@p this is as far as
my brain will let me....see
what a bad idea limmericks are at 3

[Leslie]

DSP with Christmas in July,
It's enough to make you blissfully *sigh*
With the GT there to listen to me,
I'm always in good company,
I tell you, it's enough to make you feel high.

Oh good - I can see the beaut Pyewacket one! Woo hoo!!

Oh, and 'must have' cool Erica freebie!

[evergreen100]

Oh woe, oh woe, oh woe is me's
Why did my computer have to freeze
When it was time to download free-bies
Santa, bring me a new computer please
So that I can keep up with all the chattees!

[sammdc]

It twas the CIJ Chat
that sands had a little dummy spat
she said my beaver I did trim
but santa please make me slim
Mars said no more talk of that.

[debilou]

Last Night we played Bingo
And, Mars did NOT know the Lingo
Alas, the game was just not the same
until final she came up with some rhymes.
Because we all know she is the Queen of British style Bingo Lingo (could have called you a dingo Mars! be happy!)...

[debilou]

This is my first Christmas in July
I didn't know how much I needed in supplies
Lucky for me the store had a sale
and, freebies and prizes galore
But, with all that's going on by the end of the week I think I will need some shuteye!

[Ineke]

How can I possibly compete
With Queen Bee's satirical feats?
The words flow from her like honey
and most of them are very funny!

[Ineke]

Woe is me I missed CIJ day
All those chats and I was away!
Looks like you girls had so much to share
I really wish I could have been there!!

[wuvie]

There is a place that I go
when my heart is low
and my imagination needs to run free.

It is a special place
out in cyberspace
that makes me laugh with Glee.

The people are kind
and I spend way to much time
at my favorite place, DSP.

[Ineke]

Now that you have got me started
Writing limericks is light hearted
The words are flowing from my lips
and heading out through my finger tips
But even though I think I am clever
I cant hold a candle to Queen Bee's whatever!

[kaybutler@mweb.]

:santa1::santa1:
A Ditsy DownUnder called Edgy
in her red Christmas pants wore a wedgie :shocked:
She pulled them up tight
They resisted with might
and now our poor Edgy's a Veggie !!:shocked::shocked:

[sammawow]

Here goes:

I went to the CIJ Fair
And all of our friends were there!
We started to chatter;
The Chat Room did shatter;
But the Freebies were still there to share!

[Lynnie]

Mars starts us a cuebeehoo hoo...
Our limerick lines for to woo
But what she's not telling
Is these lines she's selling
To earn her a million or two

Perhaps that's an exaggeration
These won't earn a great adulation
Cept from DSP friends
Who have patience no-end
And express such nice exultation

So I threaten to hang up my pen
I'm sure some are thinking when WHEN!!
Then it's limerick time
someone asks for a rhyme
And the impulse starts over again

And though someone says it's a fiction
I have a strong limerick addiction
I try not to do it
I try to work through it
But Mars feeds this dreadful affliction

And so we have a new thread
And rhymes bounce again in my head
My fingers are glowing
Limericks are flowing
OH NO some are saying in dread...

So I'm going to scrap if I can
I'll go back to where I began
In colours I'll paint
Though an artist I ain't
At least till I think of a plan

[DixieMama]

Like my hard drive needs one more thing
But OH! I'm addicted to bling
I'm not as good as the Bee
I'm just little ol' me
but CIJ is the best kind of fling

:D

[nafeesa]

Okay here's mine:

Fee's trying to complete a whopper;
The challenge of challenges, can't stop her!
Her layouts have run amuck,
and are nothing but a ruck,
and her conduct is verily improper!

[jennilynn10]

Scrapping and freebies and layouts galore,
Laughing and chatting, and forums to explore.
Lots of layouts created and ready to see,
all inspired for Christmas in July at DSP.
Full of Chats, Challenges and Contests and more!!!

(am I a DSP suck up or what? :D )

[jennilynn10]

another one. don't blame me - it's the lack of sleep!


For CIJ I did play,
I was on the computer all day.
But even though I was glad,
my dear husband became very mad.
So to make up, I had to give him a good *** ;)


(hehehe! Hope I didn't offend anyone! :shocked: )

[evergreen100]

Im feeling so sore up the back
cos someone wedgied my c***k
and by giving me that wedgie
she turned me into a vegie
And I dont know when Ill get myself back:eek:

[evergreen100]

I like my new life as a bean
Im skinnier than Ive ever seen
So all is not bad
And Im no longer sad
cos now Im truly evergreen!

[Lynnie]

Evergreen, I'm glad you are slender
And to chocolate you never surrender
But here's hopin your hooters
aren't any minuter
Your amplitunious, magnificent splendour

[evergreen100]

I rushed to the store at 18 off
and purchased all on my list
Now Scrappy Hour says 42
And Im rueing the sale that I missed:cry:

:D

[idtwinmom]

Miss Lynnie does think like a limerick,
Her mind does rhyme sharp as a pin prick.
Her CIJ rhymes,
Kept us laughing through time!
Now we all get a bonus for being mimics.

[Lynnie]

:D Lynnie:D:D, they are "bouncitudes" now, remember???:D

I'm glad that you're loosing the ouncitudes
As long as they're not from your bouncitudes
Across all the nations
You've a 'large' reputation
That you've always been able to flouncitude!

[Lynnie]

I rushed to the store at 18 off
and purchased all on my list
Now Scrappy Hour says 42
And Im rueing the sale that I missed:cry:

:D

If you signed up for the lovely newsletter
You'd find out when the sales were better
And you can come to the store
When "Happy Hour" roars
At best time to be a DSP Debtor

[lizzanne]

This Cuebeehoo has me laughin'
Another thread to keep me from scrappin'
I'm not as clever as the rest
But believe me, this is my best
As lame as this may be
Posting gets me Erica's wonderful freebie!

[lizzanne]

I have a chin whisker growing right there (points to chin)
I pull and pull on the annoying hair
Why is it no matter how hard I try
I think they will pester me till day i die!
And just when I think all are gone
I wake in the morning again pluck to the light of the morning sun

[GrandmaCrys]

These limericks are all such a hoot!
And some may be given the boot. :eek:
This thread keeps a growin'
As rhyming is flowin'.
I think I'll just do it for loot. (Thanks, Erica! :hug:)

[GrandmaCrys]

There once was a mighty fine scrapper.
Whose rhyming was really quite dapper.
She looked toward the stars,
And there she found Mars.
And decided to just be a rapper.

OMG! This gets in your blood! :worried: :worried: :help:

[LauraLou]

There once was proper old granny,
Who cleaned house...each small nook and cranny,
Then she found DSP's Granny Thread.
Now she hardly even sleeps in her bed.
She just sits at the computer on her fa

Woops...in deference to South Africa, I shan't finish this.

[ReneT]

I just found this thread
When I should be in bed
Since sleep is eluding me
I'll try to rhyme like Queen Bee

I missed 1/2 the chats
To that I say "Rats!"
I went to Austin to see
My DSP friend Debi

When I got home I went straight to bed
While visions of sugar plums danced in my head
I intended to get up early
But when I did, I found I was surly

So I slept in till 9, and then
Went to the room where the chatters had been
There were so many there it was quite a sight
I happily chatted away until midnight

My DH thinks I've lost my mind
But he doesn't know I've put him in a bind
At the store I spent much cash
At the fun fun CIJ Bash

[karinadawn]

Here is mine...a bit lame, but better than nothing:

I am a member from OZ
who laments no snow becoz
I love the sparkle and flakes
The chill and cold breaks
Alas hot christmas's in oz!

[MarsOlson]

sands! waiting for yours!

mars sent the bonus to rhymers
and is having a very good timers
sands I cant see you
or your limerick too
hurry or we will all be whiners

[sands_healy]

sands! waiting for yours!

mars sent the bonus to rhymers
and is having a very good timers
sands I cant see you
or your limerick too
hurry or we will all be whiners

sands is sulking
cos her mate is her a balking
alone she sits
and having fits
cos her friends are out walking.

[crlin60]

There was a great Chat in July
I regret that there was not I
For computer gave out
And I had to pout
I think I am going to cry!

[jennilynn10]

these are all just too hilarious! :rofl::rofl: what a multi-talented group of ladies :D

These limericks have been causing lots of non-scrapping action for me!
As you may recall,


For CIJ I did play,
I was on the computer all day.
But even though I was glad,
my dear husband became very mad.
So to make up, I had to give him a good *** ;)

And today:


To follow along, first you must see
my husband's name is Mr. Rusley.
Little daughter she did hear
it was Mr. Rusty to her ear
as to Rusty I said I could agree.

When I told my dear Mr. Rusty
to prove me wrong he got lusty.
I said "Oh no, I have to scrap"
but sadly he didn't give a cr@p.
And suddenly I was Mrs. Busty. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


007: certain people, including my mother, seem to think I'm bawdy. I've no idea why?

[Lynnie]

Dear Kay, I'm so glad we amused you
(Much better than having abused you!)
We hope you are scrapping
As well as some laughing
Or have we completely confused you? :D

[beryl]

I sit here and I just have to laugh
Crunching numbers you do the Math
To the store I went and bought
Time was limited so not a lot
Still the credit card took a bath


hehee actually the bath was at the camera store.......

[Shana34]

You ladies have humor to spare
And are very willing to share
I feel like a pup
I hope I keep up
But mostly I just sit and stare.

Wow you guys are cracking me up! :)

[renee s]

Oh Lynnie’s a rhyming Queen
Her poems are all very clean
Her rhyme entertains
Our tired ol brains
And we laugh till we split our spleen

[Fade2Pink]

I loved Lynnie's limericks during the chats! I'm so glad you caught them here, as I missed many of them. She is a hoot..and quick to boot (hey that rhymes!)

CIJ at DSP is all the rage
Funnest time of year, I'll wage
Challenges, freebs and chats
Digitalcrapbookplace is where it's at
Come one, come all, lets create a great page!

[jennyharris28]

Christmas for me isn't fun
I spend all my time baking buns
while my husband he spends
and me, over the edge he sends
Can I cut up his credit cards - Just one?

[sands_healy]

Mandy, Sands, and I are rhyming challenged so we will just have to be cheerleaders!

Oh PQ
I see you
what's new
in your view
ok now I need a tissue!

[sands_healy]

There once was a member Caro
who brought along her sister Sharo
for telling her about sands beaver
she had to take up the cleaver
and run around the house like a sparro

[Vallie]

Sandy I know you mean well
But your poetry isn't so swell
With this talking of beavers and
running with cleavers
I'm sure you will end up in hell!

[tape]

There once was a shy girl in Finland
Who had no Yule stocking to fill and
Father Christmas went nuts
Trying to give her some guts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu)
In the end he put them in a tin pan.

[PQ FRAN]

Watermelon watermelon watermelon rind -
Look at the challenges and don't fall behind -
Don't delay -
get out of the hay -
post a layout today -
and I'll say HOORAY!

[JaeDee]

The Start:

We've made a 2nd Christmas:
it's called Christmas in July!
If you don't understand this
and you simply wonder why,
just click the DSP site
and give it a merry try!

The Finish:

For those of you who entered
and felt July's Christmas glee,
it's time to unzip the goodies
found under the DSP tree.
Please take your cyber treasures
before they grow wings and flee!

[Lisa Campbell]

In Bethlehem was born a fabulous boy
Destined to spread love and joy
Alll kids want is a toy
And all my cat wants is a Koi!

[nekobus]

There once was a place called the cuebeehoo
Where all of our limericks got put into
We all snort and we chortle
When we come through that portal
And to our dignity we all say "adieu".

[Raphne]

There once was a middle aged mother
who wanted to stay under cover
she had an addiction you see
to good ole DSP
her friends thought she'd taken a lover!
