Come up with your best SC2 limericks! I'll start:
I fast expo'd vs zerg on scrap station
but gathered no scout information
i chronoed out stalkers
(cuz they're very fast walkers)
and lost to a zergling migration!
another:
I lost my void ray and said, "uh oh"
so i decided to put on a show
but drewbie could hear
as the crowd gave a cheer
'don't worry,' I said, 'tahts halo'
some that i liked from the thread (i fixed some spelling and syllable issues, hope OPs don't mind):

Don't know what a Limerick is?
Limericks are fun little 5 line poems composed of two rhyming patterns. They all have the same beat. its like (say it out loud and its easier to get the flow):
da-DA da-da-DA da-da-DA da
da-DA da-da-DA da-da-DA
da-DA da-da-DA,
da-DA da-da-DA,
da-DA da-da-DA da-da-DA-da!
the first, second, and fifth lines all rhyme, and the third and forth ones rhyme. Calling these patterns the A and B rhyming, the limerick is like this:
A: da-DA da-da-DA da-da-DA da (shoe)
A: da-DA da-da-DA da-da-DA (through)
B: da-DA da-da-DA, (hammer)
B: da-DA da-da-DA, (slammer)
A: da-DA da-da-DA da-da-da! (clue)
I just threw some words on the end of those lines to help make it easy to see what I mean. Be careful to avoid using the same word on two lines, that's cheating and makes for a bad limerick.
A quick google search revealed this, a collection of a bunch of nerdy little limericks. heres a couple of ones I really liked to get you going:
+ Show Spoiler +There once was a [person] from [place]
Whose [body part] was [special case].
When [event] would occur,
It would cause [him or her]
To violate [law of time/space].
If you catch a Chinchilla in Chile
And cut off its beard, willy-nilly
You can honestly say
That you have just made
A Chilean Chinchilla's chin chilly
The limerick's structure somewhat
necessitates *eloquent* smut.
If you haven't the time
to learn meter and rhyme,
then don't write them, you ignorant slut.
Cmon Team Liquid, lets see what you got!

There once was a Larva named Jim
Who was morphed into Zerglings by Tim
When Jim had evolved and the eggshells dissolved
Whoa, TWO zerglings are Jim!

There once was a lonely shee
who tried to solo a queen
but she did lose, to one transfuse
and now i just mass marine.

I like the part where you assume every thread around here has to be discussion related.
I'll bet you're one of the people who've made an SC2 rap song, haven't you?
I generally like to play macro games,
Much like a certain player of zerg fame,
But unlike he,
I don't rage and climb up a tree,
Because I am actually quite tame!
Yeah I dunno, never limerick'd before :S

There are users whose icons are hammers,
But their job really has little glamour.
If you're seen being rude,
Or start acting crude,
You'll get banned if you don't learn some manners.

uh... anyway, more sc2 limericks. lets not get offtopic.
my scout (blue) saw a building (red)
before i could click he was dead
i thought it a fact
so i built zeals en mass,
but he built a starport instead!

a phoenix flies high and true
their lasers are a shade of blue

they can no longer be made en masse

the range has been stacked
and now tunneling aint very fast

There once was a fine red-haired maid,
to whom sweet love I could've made.
My boss had jealous dread,
So he left her for lead,
And now she's the Zerg's Queen of Blades.
Edit: Okay, fine. This is SC1. So sue me. It's still good.

aparrently zerg had a bug
terran and toss are looking smug
so now i cant play
starcraft 2 today
i might as well lie on a rug
|
stimpack is an awful drug
it makes terran players quite smug
they just stim and 1a
and melt units away
and all protoss can say is ugh
raynor's riders are doing just fine
with guns they cut the bugs in twine
this isn't a blizzard first
its because they're well versed
its all a tribute to Heinlein
|
spawned on steppes as the green
thought i'd go all-in marine
brought all my SCV's
and like a breeze
i took him to the guillotine
And another:
spawned as brown
went DT to give him a frown
he did despise
my little surprise
made him look like a clown

boxer, the legend, was said

Sometimes when I feel blue
Alcohol, whores and drugs ensue
I guess that's kind of a no brainer
How'd I do ?

I'll throw some of the funnest limericks in the OP in a few hours after i'm done procastinating on this paper. keep em coming guys!
i got DTS in his mineral line,
but a raven flew by with a whine
both DTS were killed.
my opponent was skilled;
he must have scouted my dark shrine

Foxer's marines are OP
And his pink hoody might be gay
but damn he is strong
for zerg it's 'so long'
and Foxer will continue to play.
This GSL we have seen,
a person from over the sea,
he wasn't expected
but he sure has been tested,
Jinro made GSL's last three!
you heard it here first xD

I'm mostly playing free for alls
to win them, you need some balls
but terrans in cross position
with a bc raven composition
make me hit some walls.

What is this I dont even...

up a cliff stalkers can blink
but they need a spotter in sync
the colossus watches in dread
and says while shaking his head
"i'll just walk up there, i think"
|
Not to destroy the fun for anyone, but most of the 'limericks' above lack the proper rhythm structure.
|
@Junemermaid, great one.
@Maginor, I know, my first one a bit too. But try to make a good one, it's actually hard
No post without limerick:
Fruitdealer won season one,
Nestea made season two fun,
who wins season three?
who will it be?
The stress has nog even begun.

Walked out from the barracks, stimming like kings,
Ramming needles in twice even though it stings,
Turned around,
Startled by sound,

Where's Frozz (or was it Trozz?) when you need him!
|
I saw this post on TL
From my vision this post had fell
I sat in a slump
And decided to bump
And added a limerick as well!
|
I tried to expand all my creep
Across the map it would seep
But the Terran did scan
And foil my plan
And now I cannot push so deep
I sent out some scouts to his base
But his wall-in prevented my chase
And his banshees swooped in
To my great chagrin
And proceeded to stomp my face
Matchmaking lead me astray
When it sent me random one day
With lings as his tool
My opponent six-pooled
And forced me to "gg" away
|
in PVZ now its the norm
to get templars and tech to psi storm
but with out a defiler
I think i'll retire
and just wait until heart of the swarm
|
Yes I am playing as zerg
I'm finding this slightly absurd
I'm supposed to adapt
but hard to scout is a fact
then suddently fourgates were heard
|
playing random on ladder is fun,
but i hate playing as ugly zerg scum
at dreamhack this year,
one made it appear
that 6pooling wasn't entirely dumb
|
I am still playing as Terran
But I'll tell you how I'm farin'
Zerg uses banelings
DTs are lame-lings
So now I am here and despairin'
|
There are many who solemnly swear
The only way to win is to play fair
If you cheese these people prepare for BM
As you have forced gg from these men
Now they will cry in their chair.
:S sorry, not very good. Just put it together.

Now I will have to press to produce
And fungal growth now has no use?
Its in the PTR
But it seems quite bizarre
Blizzard, do you have an excuse?

So now blizzard nerfed the infestor
I'd call them all child molestors
but I facepalm my shame
as I know who's to blame
it's just the corporate investors

Steppes of war a-GoGo,
Zerg FE's..oh no.
2 rax in,
Marines march in,
The zerg hatches are no more.
Woot, Creating limericks at 5 in the morning!
|
There once was a zerg named Gracken
whom i instantly started attackin
he called my build cheese
and then instantly leaves
a gg was not heard from Gracken.
Couldn't come up with another rhyme with gracken / attackin and you kinda have to read attackin as attacken or something. i'm pretty happy with mine atleast.
|
Protoss vs Zerg is a pain
Damn those small lings and banes
What really makes me pissed
are those damn mutalisks
Glave worms kill all my main
|
the zealot does battle for adun
and dies in battle too soon
the very next day
he proceeds to say
i would prefer to be a goon
|
I tried a marine bunker all-in
But the zerg player just kept on stallin'
I was finally pushed back
And I walled in with rax.
But his banelings demolished my wall-in.
I had tons of marines that were training
But soon there would be none remaining
And the prognosis
Of Dr. Artosis
Was death by "SO MANY BANELINGS!"

Silver walled in the ramp to his base
So he could tech at a very fast pace
And Idra was miffed
by the tanks on his cliff
And said "Apologize for playing that race!"
|
One for each race, Go!
Protoss has quite the selection
Of units with lots of protection
But alas! My base!
A nuke! From space!
Where is that damn detection?
Zerg is quite the spokesman
For large numbers and devotion
But mess with their drones
And hear the queen's moans
And their econ will work in slow motion!
Terran are fine engineers
Handy with gadgets and gears
Just force them to scan
And ruin their plan
As Dark Templar collect their tears
+ Show Spoiler +By the way, this is long overdue, limericks are fucking awesome!

Some get their thrills from inhaling crack

PTR Protoss changes:
Observers cost less by 25
Phoenix spawn in 35
And rays against large
Do more with each charge
By a factor of one over five
PTR Terran changes:
There once was a thor named Marie
Who was surrounded by SCVs
When the lings attacked
The SCVs cracked
And Marie was turned to debris
PTR Zerg changes:
To the base the pheonixes converged
The infestor quickly submerged
Without the green growth
The infestor made an oath
"I'm going to get me some scourge."

There's a lot to love in this game
but all people do is complain.
The lack of a lurker
drives people berzerker
than what you'd expect from the sane

He shouted "SUPPLIES!"
and was shot through the eyes
by a marine who was jacked up on stim.

Walled off cause Z didn't expand.

Magnificently soaring the skies is the Banshee

Your opponent turns sour
And resorts to calling you "pansy"

A plan that one Terran derived,

For attack came the time.

There once was multiple Phoenix who flew
So close to a Zerg base of blue
That should have been hit with green slime
But Zerg can not do that this time
And overlords were reduced to one plus negative two

some marines went into a dark room
they wondered if it'd be their doom
onwards marched the corps
they saw some green orbs
they splattered, banelings went boom
is it bad enough that it's good again? >_>

Oh, lawd.
It isn't just the rhyme, guys. The chronic mistake in this thread is to use too many syllables. There's definitely more leeway than in, say, a haiku, but it has to have some rhythm.
Team Liquid's the place for SC,
[Team LI-quid's the PLACE for ess-SEE,]
Progamers know it's where to be.
[Pro-GAM-ers know IT'S where to BE,]
For Brood War and II,
[For BROOD War and TWO,]
and custom maps too,
[and CUS-tom maps TOO,]
It's almost a wonder it's free.
[It's AL-most a WON-der it's FREE.]
When you do a limerick right, you should almost be able to sing it.

Delta quadrant's natural had a barrier
Though HonUnprime still teched to carrier
The Terran was sad

Tastless and Artosis were the merrier

A Blinkstalker brought quite a plight
When he blinked past the speed of light
He violated causality
And broke our reality
And this fucked universe is a fright
A pursued Sentry put on a charade
In a group of hallucinations he made
Along came a Raven
And took away his safe haven
And Marayders killed him with grenades
A spawning pool provided lings
The speed upgrade gave them wings
But unable to fly
To banshees they die
Those missiles have serious zing

A lazy marine fell asleep

He saw a Zerg queen

Metre, or the structure of classical verse is based on a unit called 'foot'. A foot is a unit consisting of stressed and unstressed syllables. There are two types of feet used in limericks, they all have the stress on the last syllable:
da-DUM - unstressed-stressed (Iamb)
da-da-DUM - unstressed-unstressed-stressed (anapest)
There are only two structures of a line in a limerick. A is three feet long, B is two feet long.
A: Foot1 - Foot2 - Foot3
B: Foot4 - Foot5
The lines are structured like this:
A
A
B
B
A
All A:s and all B:s should be in the same metre, i.e the one posted above by Aeo uses this metre:
A: da-DUM da-da-DUM da-da-DUM
B: da-DUM da-da-DUM

Jonathan Walsh is his name,
Rolling Korea his game.
His prominent chin
Leads to dominant wins;
He's the gorilla nobody can tame.

Zerglings are just cannon fodder
and on zealots no praise do I lauder.
Why can't you see
you just double-hit "b"
and if you can't reap 'er maraud 'er
Zergs say that lost temple's a bore
Because of the brutal dropped thor
They often complain
I just wish they'd explain
before they left why my mother's a whore.
I confess I must raise an objection
to my rage when I lose from detection
While it feels good to yell
That DTs are from hell
I think it gives toss an erection.

One day i was building marines
and masses of them without fines
then a banelings popped out
my marines yelled real loud
in acid they indeed did calcine.
Then again i built a marine
to bring to this game the fin
seeing banelings i spread
wreak havoc, bring death
shouting "Tonight in hell we shall dine".
Green acid in the air
splatters of Zerg everywhere
my stim fades away
my vision turns gray
survived had the terrans heir.

I got matched with some Terran dude
Who had an all-in attitude.
Pulled SCVs off the line,
Left his mules there to mine,
Killed my hatch and then typed "gg noob."

I must ask you sir, is it fine
To claim that "marine" ends like "dine"?
Or is it a scheme
To take all your marines
And change them to make them "marhyme"?

There once was a pair of lings
who dreamt of becomming kings
they morphed into banes
were dropped into a main
Now there are no scv's working.
i dunno made that up in 30seconds

There was a little Ling who found it hard to win,
Everytime he prayed to god, the hydras called it sin!.
So what what was this ling to do with hydras bashing you?
He worked himself into a rage
Then a transformation did stage
But not in the way he had thought
he then exploded on his moma's porch!

Oh wow! I am just now discernin'
That you unlike me are a German
Your effort is great
please don't be irate
I take back all the words of my sermon.

There is a young poet named Herman.
He's not very good, but he's learnin',
Though he often offends
Because he so often ends

Those terrans are really quite cheesy
they push and pull each scv
I say lol allin and get a free win
and then they leave with not GG.

If you want to argue the semantics of the form you could do well to double check to make sure that you are correct first- limericks came into existence long before variable feet or two-footed substitutions in three-footed contexts and vice versa. Were you to construct a traditional limerick you would probably try to be operating with mostly anapestic feet. Your confusion considering the iamb is from poor practice- the traditional limerick has nine syllables in lines 1, 2, and 5. I think I saw someone else construct a line metrically spelled out for everyone as an iamb followed by two anapests and then a headless iamb at the end?- in any case that's really convoluted and strange. It's simplest to just disregard 2 syllable feet for the purpose of the limerick anyway (like the double dactyl, half of the humor and fun of a limerick is the triple meter).
If you want to be a stickler for the rules of the form, you should at least note that the meter in the limerick is only half, or even less than the purpose of the form. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the meter is really only a by product of the nature of the triple form in English prosody in the limerick, and that provided your subject matter is choice and your delivery witty, the meter will actually bend away from traditional rhythms of speech and towards the metrical contract of the form.

A Terran on Steppes went proxy rax
I scouted bunkers he said LOL HAX
Went for a 4-gate
He got quite irate
When stalkers stopped his rush in it's tracks.
In PvZ I microed my scout
Got supply blocked and started to shout
"On 18 supply"
"Now I'm gonna die"
And then his mass speedlings took me out!
An even 4-gate left me wondering
How can I win this game I am in
I took out some Probes
His economy slows
And then I roll over him and win
Damn these are fun
|
I've begun to watch much idrajit
He's started to stream quite a bit
While he macros with ease
His weakness is cheese;
His favored response? A rage quit!
From terrans he demands an apology
Crying imba becomes a tautology
His skill spreading hate,
Good toi have? I say great!
His words slowly make up an anthLOLogy.
But it's the rage that has made idra famous
For that love of his anger don't blame us
He claims self respect
With his rage-dialect
So please just embrace it; don't shame us

there once was an lonely marine
who liked to read things obscene
to his great dismay
he was caught yesterday
in possession of smut magazines!
how many of you can relate to that, huh?
|
To mass lings I was failing,
so I teched to baleing
Roasted and toasted
"imma win" i boasted
"your situation is dire"
except- he had a spire
|
I promised myself not to four gate
or at least not to all in at that rate
but my PvZ sucks
so I said what the fuck
my conscience won't make me abate

You think that marine is a whore?
Just wait till I show you the thor
It's true that he's massive
and if you're not passive
He'll give you 250mm galore.

I saw the cc on the gold
My macro was getting steamrolled
So I sent zealots in
But PF equals win
So my opponent just sat back and lolled

In TvP it seems I am cursed
It always ends with my force in a hearse
Then on TL all I see
Is help threads for PvT
And that just makes me feel worse

Joey the visible DT
was unexceptionably greedy
He went from his home
to slay him some drones
but Kerrigan gave him a VD

i'll tell you a tale from last year
three words and all will be clear:
when i went to jail

the first thing i heard? "THOR IS HERE."

Fuck yeah, limericks.
How could I resist this thread?
Alright, let's begin.
 v:
Terran mirrors are probably the best
There's more variations than the rest
The 1-1-1
Is solid and fun
Raven Rine Tank is what I'd suggest
v :
I always get 2 raxes before tech
I really prefer bio over mech
With 2 active rax
And 2 medivcs
Charge out with stim and you'll wreck
v :
I open 3 rax then ghost for EMP
I attack with stim for the GG
I used to do this
But something's amiss
I need to go on a practicing spree
v:
This is my best matchup by far
I open 2 gate into robo or star
Voids are so great
They make T's irate
Phoenix play is both fun and bizarre
v:
Scout that nexus energy, see it being saved?
He's going 4 warpgate, how very depraved!
Don't tangle your nylons
Check for proxy pylons
Block the rush and his econ will be caved
v:
If for some reason you fall way behind
You should try to be particularly unkind
Take it from me
Tech straight to DT
Those units can get you out of a bind
v:
This is a really fun to play match up
Focus on getting that 14 hatch up
Make tons of drones
Econ style owns
Scout and counter or you'll be playing catch up
v:
The obvious choice is either roach or bane
You could mass up lings, but that's insane
Infestors got weak
Muta strength will peak
The same style from BW could happen again
v:
Hydralisks seem very strong vs toss
You can reduce gateway armies to sauce
They're so weak to storm
And a Colossi swarm
Who needs Hive? Spire will make toss cross

I love limericks. This is what happens when there's nothing to do at work:
When foreigners are a-lackin'
And it seems Koreans are stackin'
Do not lose hope
Don't despair and mope
It's time to release the Gracken.
There are many ways to play this game
But people choose methods that are lame
From SCV all-in attacks
To Protoss 4gate stacks
Now every match has been the same.
What goes through a zergling's head
When usually they end up dead
Hellions the zergling does see
And as it is forced to flee
"I wish I'd been a muta instead!"
For interviewing he has a knack
But GOM forum has many a quack
So Artosis gets trolled
This never gets old
"Poopfeast420, welcome back."
And now an ode to my favorite player, Jinro (I hope he reads these!)
Amazing his games have been
And intimidating is his chin
He has a nice hat
And his game's where it's at
He is Jinro, from Sweden.
The GSL Jinro has been in
Many of his games have been a win
The people request
The trick to his success
Well folks, the secret is his chin.
Many Ts use builds that are old
But Jinro does not fit this mold
Instead of all-in
He macros to win
Thus his opponents have been Jinrolled.
His opponents have been starin'
When really they should be bewarin'
For those in his path
Should fear the wrath
Of the Murdering Gorilla Terran.
His teammates include Nazgul and Ret
He murders from set to set
He's known for his chin
And his ability to win
He represents TeamLiquid.net
From Drug to PoltPrime to Moon
His games have all been a boon
He plays his own style
Fine macro all the while
His games can't come too soon.
With the builds he had in store
None of his games were a bore
From tank pushes to drops
He pulls out all the stops
Jinro, it's time for final four!
Some say his wins are not prestigious
I think this is sacrilegious
He slayed the slayer of Boxer
He plays as good as Foxer
In this GSL his skill's prodigious
In the last games of the year
He's the player we all hold dear
As the GSL has shown
Of foreigners, he's alone
But Jinro, thou shalt have no fear!

i dated a girl with nova’s face
and a body the pride of terran’s race
i told her a joke
and she took off her cloak
but then i accidentally in her base.

I joined TeamLiquid specifically to take part in this thread
There was an Immortal called Clive
Who marched straight into a Zerg hive
They got a surround
And Clive swiftly found
That he was no longer alive
There was an old marshall called Jim
Whose soldiers were loyal to him
From JoeyRays bar
Then onwards to Char
Most met with a fate rather grim
I love to use Reapers en masse
As they're really good at the harass
But then comes the Lair
When Zerg takes the air
Which makes them a pain in the ass
If there's one thing that people abhor
It's the presence of an early Thor
With nine SCVs
They might call it cheese
But it's still gonna win you the war
Not sure if this one is language appropriate, but I'm rather fond of it so I'll post it under spoilers
+ Show Spoiler +I expanded and got my first tank
With 900 mins in the bank
The framerate was choppy
My macro was sloppy
So I stopped and instead had a wank

Some more limericks dedicated to Artosis:
It's common for Artosis to say
And it might lead us astray
But whether he trolls
Or it's just how he rolls
Common is "high level play"
Some think his facts are bizarre
While others say he's right on par
But when the green balls
Arrive, he calls
So many, the banelings are
As a caster he pulls out the stops
And for that I must give him props
But if you're on the right page
You can see him rage
When he sees the DT drops
He puts on players this curse
That lands them in a hearse
He says they won't lose
This statement he rues
For Clide things couldn't be worse.
He's part of the casting archon
His partners include Tasteless and John
He casts each play
And at the end of the day
He interviews whoever won
Some more about Jinro:
For TL he came up with a plan
To give us gossip because he can
So Ret takes a peep
And he says in his sleep
Impressive is the "Gorilla Man"
His games have not been a bore
The Chinese call him the Thor
High level is his play
And I'm happy to say
That he made the final four.
I'll post more later.

Jinro vs MC spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +Jinro rushed up to the thor,
hoping he could take game 4.
But clever MC
teched straight to DT
and Jinro's CC was no more.
