They did not see the fun that was in it
A prize for ill humor - they'd win it
She said " My name is Greta , and Mister you'd better
Start behaving yourself right this minute !"

A fellow named Jack the Clipper
(Don't confuse him with Jack the Ripper)
Had so many lights
That they kept him up nights
Trying to shine the Big Dipper
We have many shills on the forum
There aren't many here who adore them
It's what they do best
To bother the rest
of the members who'd rather destroy them.
-------------------------------------------------
My Solarforce crew is enormous
From weak to the brightest performer
L2P is the bomb
My M8 is real long
But a 502B is a boner.
-------------------------
I like Shadow flashlights, I do
My JM07 is new
It likes a King Kong
That lasts all the night long
Big ass monkey name, it is too cool.

oh how i love my c8
beaming the sky i stay up too late
id better get to bed
but i read BLF instead
tired morning will be my fate.

Careful , though , it's addictive .
I limericked a couple of customers today , and they loved it .
Not the sort of encouragement I really need , because it will just throw gas on the fire.
I have always loved a good joke
And my friends I just can't help but poke
Now I sit and I rhyme
Nearly all of the time
Knowing all the good poets died broke
We Love Lumens and Lux
We Know Dimmer Light Sucks
A Flood or a Spot
They all get us hot
We just gotta find the Bucks
LOLLOL
This looks like a "throw done"! Battle of the "Limericks". This is good stuff!
Keith (Who ain"t got time to rhyme) That"s all from me.
Keith says that he can't write a rhyme
He knows 'cause he tried it one time
He got so frustrated
Himself he berated
For creating a limerical crime
But old Keith was too busy to rhyme
He said "Sorry, I don't have the time"
But his buddiesl persuaded
And he became accoladed
For his efforts turned out just sublime! H)
In fact Keith wasn't just good, he was great!
And BLF-ers could hardly wait
For the next lovely poem
That Keith wanted to show 'em
But on Jack it was starting to grate!
"Who's this Keith?!" asked Jack in a temper
"I'M the poet round here, just remember!
Keith couldn't out-rhyme me
Just you wait and see
If I gave him from now till December!" :p
Now, Keith heard of Jack's challenge and smiled
"It'll be like taking candy away from a child!"
"Oh yeah?" snarled Jack
"You bet!" Keith sneered back
You can tell, they were both pretty wild! |(
But at this point sb interjected
He'd been watching, as might be expected
"Now look, gentlemen
Just shake hands and be friends!"
A suggestion that both men accepted :)
Said Jack "How about we collaborate?
Nothing too big or elaborate"
Keith said "Shake my hand
Before we get banned!"
And they both settled down to confabulate :love:
Their work was so good that it sold
They were literally rolling in gold! $)
Budget lights began to bore 'em
So they joined CandlePowerForums
And their Sipiks began to grow mold
At first Jack and Keith both felt better
They bought Surefires, and a pair of Elzettas
But their joy didn't last
'Cause they couldn't hide their past
And they drew the attention of Greta! J)
It began quite innocently one day
When one of them linked to a SkyRay :O
Down came a mod
Who thought he was god
And turned our boys' blue skies to gray
"We're sorry!" they said, very contrite
"Our offense was ever so slight!"
"You question my law?!"
Gasped Greta in awe
"Banned for life! Get out of my sight!"
"CPF is just horrid!" said Jack
Keith agreed, "And the future looks black!
I preferred BLF
We should never have left
I really think we should go back!"
So they logged in, and with great delight
Followed O-L as he modded a Maglite
ILF was still splurging
"Buy A SF!" Foy was urging
Ah, the lovely familiar old site!
They agreed that here they'd remain
And that to leave BLF was insane!
"Here's where we belong!"
"Hey, that would make a great song!"
Now lads, let's not go there again.. ;)
OMG! You guys are slaying me!
OMG! Too funny AND too good!!! I think you just stole Jack's crown from him irrevocably.
Those two made me bust out laughing at work!
This is the Lliad of the BLF prose, an epic account of those who rose.
:)
When you got up this morning, did you think your work would be compared to Homer's?
Doh!!!
I just fell head over heels in like with you , man .
A truly funny and epic homage .
Damn impressive , sir.
Edit : Having read through your poem again -
Really damn impressive .
Thanks guys. Jack, coming from yourself, that's praise indeed! Must be this place that inspires me
Cone, I've been compared to Homer all my life!
Something like " Light Poetry "
At this point , this thread has had so many contributions , that I feel the current title is too exclusive .
Especially after Lensman's tale .
Did you see that he blended Smiley icons into that ?
Brilliant .
Come on, for real? The Iliad and the Odyssey by the Greek poet Homer. You know, Homer, the screenwriter that wrote the script for the movie Troy. :glasses: Here is the short version from the great magazine Mental Floss.
You're busting my chops, right? I can't be the only guy here who has read the classics as a lad. Maybe it is just a Jersey thing since I was referencing this statement of Teej's, "This is the Iliad of the BLF prose, an epic account of those who rose." Which rhymed too, so nice touch, Teej.
Guys, being bright isn't just a positive attribute for flashlights.
I bet they know about this at CPF! Sorry, almost went a little to far there. I still hate those guys.
