PLAYA LIMERICKS! Post Em Here...

Post by madmatt » Thu Sep 20, 2007 7:40 am

A burner I know from Nantucket
Liked to pee in his tent in a bucket
One day he went on a spree
And kicked over the pee
But he was having so much fun
He said fuck it

There was a green girl by the Man
Who was deathly afraid of a tan
It WOULD be obscene.
I'm SUPPOSED to be green.
Not the color of soggy rattan.

i saw a little elf on the playa
as he passed me by he said "hiya"
I looked back in a blink
but he gave me a wink
and dissapeared before i could say
"by-a"

I got home from the playa a wreck
Dust layered up to my neck
It would have been smart
To wash all my gear off from the start
But it was so pretty, I said "what the heck!"

(and didn't wash it).

There was a young driver from JotS
Who cheerfully cleaned out the pots.
He sucked up a shoe,
And cried "Oh, fuck you
Considerate Burners you're not."
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

Playa dust was too abundant
sex, and booze, get real redundant
the media lies when it relayed
come to BM and anyone gets laid

There once was a guy name of Paul
With his torch, he had him a ball
On the now-famous night
the Man he did light
The flames, they grew ever tall...

The tankers, they put out the fire
The green man was a now-charcoal spire
The cops fell like a Hammer
Sent ol' Paul to the slammer
saving his ass from the crowd's fearsome ire.

The Man was rebuit, and replaced
o'er the city his presence again graced.
So twice the man burned,
and as such it has earned
a magical and historical space...

Yeah, if we broke Sue down into parts (which we would NEVER, EVER do) she'd make 7 to 10 ordinary women.


Perhaps more.

In art cars she was quite brash,
She rode, no panties and feet up on the dash.
Another art car drove by,
Her snatch caught the driver's eye,
And four burners were killed in the crash.

She really did not think it funny
when they called her another dust bunny
'Till she drug to her tent
this staff guy named "Bent"
And now she's the DPW hunny...

And then there's the shoutin and cryin'
in Thunderdme, from the fists that are flyin'
Swinging from their harness
causing physical distress
'till the end, when one feels like dyin'

At least it's not out there at Greeters
Where you separate virgins from repeaters
First the whap, then the yell
As they beat on the bell
As we guzzle our beer by the liters.

And finally, a place that's most scary
the home of top staff, kinda like Larry
Yeah, First Camp's the place
Where one can lose face
for being too green or contrary.

I know this was just kinda shitty
to continue in this little ditty
but what do you expect
When you've decided to trek
to a place that is called Black Rock City.

There once was a fella named Addis
who has malfunctioned under his hat- His
approach was unique, and while on a tweak
he made fire and we got a new Man, gratis.

Got to go early
The Big Rigs were curly
I love all the Girlies
The DPW is Burly
THE MONKEYS and the Dust were Swirly
If I were to wish ANYTHING I'd wish I were ME!!

A burner I know named McSweeny
In a dust storm spilled gin on his weenie
Just to be couth
He added vermouth
Then slipped his girlfriend a martini.

Today is the b'day of Unjon...
Don't worry where all the time has gone.
Just have ye a tipple
Of this bottle of Ripple
then go and pass out on the lawn.

Or better, go catch ye a wave
Show up nekkid at your birthday bash rave
Get out and go schmoozing
Do stuff that's amusing,
instead of hiding out in some cave.

Whatever it ends up you do
Don't go around feeling too blue
Instead, kick up your heels
While we scream, shout and squeals...


"UnJonHarley, Happy Birthday to YOU!"

To make one look bad?? I would never - trust me, my dear. I'm NOT that clever!! Tho I'm willing and eager, my talents are meager, and simple rhymes are all I endeavor.

My talents were at best, unexciting,
until I got hooked on Moonlighting
Agnes the receptionist
was truly the best
Prodding me to this rhythmic reciting!
