So many of the limericks are excellent but this one in particular cracks me up every time it comes to mind - ...like on the way in to work this morning

Bravo!!!

This forum began one fine May
'cause I wondered what people might say
In 15 long years
I've read laughter and tears
And it just seems to turn out this way.

A walleyes a fresh water cod
Sometimes our behavior is odd
It's said there are rules
those that follow are fools
and 'round here please excuse me I'm god.

A limericks a poem in the making
and some folks may feel a strong aching
to let it all out
so they'll stand up and shout
I'm just glad when they're not bellyaching.

There once was a man from Nantucket
who noticed he paddled a bucket
he said with a grin
as he rode his craft in
if judges were here I'd of stuck it.

I could probably do this all night
but first light would cause a big fight
my methods are true
I've been waiting for you
And with that lets call it a night.

This forum is like a park map
some read it to find where to crap
we cling to our bliss
since we too might miss
for some things you do not need an app.

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Cows go.
Cows go who?
No, cows go MOO.

There once was a man in a Bell
Who thought canoeing was swell

He paddled and portaged
Of days there was no shortage

Through wind and rain and feelings of pain
All of which he considered gain

He travelled by day and travelled by night
Thinking it all a delight

Little by little he became old
And consequently, less bold

Now he sits in his chair, his thoughts laid bare
As he is transported back and is without a care

(Hey, I thought limericks were supposed to be funny? Oh well, its what came out)

You of all people should know the answer to your question OS  We go to canoe country to put a smile on our mugs......and oh to do so without drugs.

As per canoeing in the tropics and other important topics ......sooner or later I'm going to get this Everglades national park thing wired and be throwing out some paddling invites so who knows. I have fished the ten thousand islands out of a redneck flats boat for close to 20 years so prospective invites will be assured of a quality fishing experience. But the environment is unique and quite special. Much to observe in the water and land. Shuttle service to and from ft Myers will be included.

Pricing and rates will soon be available at MT Enterprises.com.......tipping is optional. This commercial interruption brought to you via MT Enterprises, all rights reserved. Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

How does 'limericks' fall into 'important topics'?
As trivial as it is...
It is what it is...
Might as well paddle in the tropics.

I set out to paddle at dawn.
No "honey do list," no lawn.

Each stroke I take, I'm further away.
From the toilsome tasks of the day to day.

I'll catch a few fish, build a few fires,
Spin a few yarns to share with the liars.

While watching the stars and breathing fresh air,
the jumble of thoughts find clarity there.

And when I run out of days and libations to drink,
of the blessings at home, I begin to think.

Grateful for places like this,
but more grateful for the grace of a wife who still welcomes me home with a kiss.   

A strong stout eager family man
Said to his family, "I am sure we can"
The portages were tough,
The fish was rough
But in the end they all want to come again.


A rookie takes his family on vacation
they drive way across the great nation
some paddling they do
and some grumbling too
and they eat all of the dehydrated rations

to the far north they all cried!
Best we stay on the american side
to horse lake they went
and were totally spent
I told them to get some more exercise!

the bugs they were really quite frightening
and one day we were struck by that lightening
No harm did it do
though it scared out the pooh
and once home my daughter said, "I'm through!"


A few I whipped up! 
Want some background?  I took my sister, brother in law, and 4 teenagers out.  Only my sister and I had been to the BWCA, and that was over 20 years prior.  It was quite the adventure!  and yes, I did get a little zap from some lightning.  I was touching the metal gunale of the canoe (on shore) and some of it came thru that.  Yowzers!  But, going back again this summer!  this time, only one of the teenagers!

I come to a site called QJ
