On Being Told That There Is No Rhyme For The Word “Limerick”

After I heard Harry’s limerick,
I found that my mind set to simmer. “Rick, ”
I said to myself,
“One might write it itself, ”
But I answered, “You’re chances are slimmer, Rick! ”

So I can’t find a good rhyme for Limerick.
Told myself, “ You are just a beginner, Rick
And though there’s no reason
You can’t write something decent,
I fancy your chances get grimmer, Rick! ”

He said that it might rhyme with turmeric
But I thought, “You’re not that fast a learner, Rick:
Ditch your thoughts wasting time
Finding suitable rhyme;
Let your plans, man, stand on the back burner, Rick.”

But the cogwheels had started to turn a bit
As I guessed I had started to learn a bit
And I might find a line
That rhymes Limerick fine
And might win me a prize, so I earn a bit.

But I thought, “Though there was just a glimmer, Rick.
You will think till you’re needing a zimmer, Rick,
Since the muse isn’t kind,
I am sure you’ll will find
Not a word that will rhyme fine with Limerick.”

I once met a belle named Nicole Rick,
Her erotic curves gave me a kick,
I stroked on her bum -
She moaned without rum.
To beginners, Rick's a limerick.

Incognito

My name is Dick.
I've had that name since the day I was born.
OK - it's Richard, but those who call me that
have a clipboard in their hand.
 
Then in my 20's I changed my name to Rick.
Please keep in mind - that was in `72.
At least I didn't choose Song Of Dog,
or Ben 2 Awe Sun.
 
Now some just call me Rick,
and some still call me Dick.
Some say Richard, then there's some
who aren't too sure of what to say.
 
Dick:
as a noun - What a dick!
an adjective - Hey dick head!
a verb: - Don't dick around!
an expletive - Dick! My hair is on fire!
Unless, of course, your name is Dick.

Hold Me

(duet with rick rhodes)
(rick rhodes/patti austin/don grusin/dominic messinger)
Rick:
There is a time for everything in this world
And I think the moments come for me to say
That I do love you
Tiffany:
Love
No we didnt have a storybook love
Still I dreamed that somehow we could change our minds
Youll see, youll see what Im saying now
Both:
And what Im saying now is you should
Chorus
Hold me
Darling, wont you hold me?
Give me one little chance to show you
Baby, if youd only touch me
Then youd know all the love I feel for you
Rick:
Oh, and if
Both:
If you would stop and take a look in your heart
Tiffany:
Then youd find that secret place you hide
Rick:
(find that secret place)
Both:
Inside
Tiffany:
Is waiting for my love
Both:
Yeah, waiting for my love so wont you
Chorus x3
Hold me
Darling, wont you hold me?
Give me one little chance to show you
Baby, if youd only touch me
Then youd know all the love I feel for you

After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Rick and Vernie's Wedding

My brother and Vernie got married on the 25th of September.
Their wedding is an occurrence that I will always remember.
When they said their vows, my dad wiped tears from his eyes.
He was so touched to see his son get married that he cried.
Rick declared his love on the day when he married Vernie.
They'll be together for life and it will be a fantastic journey.
My brother has two stepsons and their names are Will and J.T.
Rick took his lovely bride on our parents 45th anniversary.
It's great to know that these two are together.
Their love for each other will truly last forever.

(DEDICATED TO MR. AND MRS. RICK JOHNSON WHO GOT MARRIED SEPTEMBER 25,2010.)

The Rhyming Flu

It’s 1: 15 A.M.
I’m sitting here in bed;
I want to go to sleep,
But rhymes are in my head.

I just came upstairs;
I was just on the com,
Working out a poem;
For Ainaa to recite in the morn.

The problem with rhyme and I;
Is that it starts and never stops,
Remember it’s one o’clock;
But rhymes still pulse my thoughts.

So I’m writing this very rhyme;
Hoping my rhyme runs out,
But such a hope’s impossible;
When my rhymes are as abundant as trout.

I know what you all are thinking:
“This rhyme is simply a gimmick;
This boy’s not really sleepy,
He’s wide awake with this limerick.”

“This story of sleep is really;
Just some tricky plot,
To make you think he flows out rhyme;
Like water from a cracked pot.”

But, nay, it is true;
I’ve got the rhyming flu,
I’m hoping that by writing this rhyme;
All my rhymes shall be through.

Aha, I know the cure;
The medicine’s no longer obscure!
To end this awful rhyme;
I need a word that does NOT rhyme!

I’ve heard of the word before;
It’s like English’s Achilles heel,
No matter how hard you rhyme;
Its un-rhyming-ness is an iron veil.

Touché now rhyming flu;
This word I give to you!
Try rhyming the word ‘month’
…Ha-ha, you can’t now, can you! ?

The rhyming flu has left me…
I can feel it leaving my mind…
Ahhh… I am so relieved…
The clock says it’s now sleepy time...

…zZzZZZ

Rick Frishman The Publicity Guru

Bestselling author and speaker is Rick Frishman,
he is an expert on teaching publicity first hand.
He has a great website for writers to boot,
www.rickfrishman.com and he shows writers how to toot.
Toot your own horn to get on radio or t.v.,

He is very personable and really does care.
I have couple of his books, "Show me about Book Publishing"
I bought this book last year,
"Author 101 Bestselling Book Publicity", which makes publicity very clear.
Very good resource books that I keep very near
Rick gives a lot of information in all his books I read,
I will reread all of them and take heed.
I now make my "silver bullet" or elevator speech,
to give my books a "hook" and make them succeed.
Thank you Rick Frishman for sharing your knowledge
with all new writers and me.

When You Gonna

Rick & lisa (astley & carter)
[rick]
Love is a special thing
It means more to me than just a wedding ring
When two people join as one
They dont know just what has begun
It comes to love, honour, cherish and obey
You promised girl that you would not go away
When you gonna come back home girl
You know Im all alone, girl
When you gonna come back home
When you gonna come back home girl
You know Im all alone, girl
When you gonna come back home
[lisa]
Love is a precious thing
So cant you see the joy that it can bring
So how can you be so cruel
Youve gone and broken every rule
You promised to love, honour, cherish and obey
You promised me youd never go away
When you gonna stay at home boy
You see I was alone, boy
When you gonna stay at home
When you gonna stay at home boy
You see I was alone, boy
When you gonna stay at home
[rick]
Loves got a hold on me
I need you girl, cant you see
[lisa]
So why dont we spend some time
Lets get together, maybe we could find
[rick & lisa]
Weve got to love, honour, cherish and obey
Weve got to promise that well never go away
Never gonna leave you home, no
Leave you all alone
Now Im gonna stay at home
Never gonna be alone, no
You see I should have known
Never gonna leave you home
[repeat / fade]

Lesson One

A poet named Paul Apicella
while as prickly as Nelson Mandela
has politely declared
that his skill is impaired
though he may be a jolly good fella.

He likes limericks, well so he states
has presented a taste to his mates.
It insulted the ear
and I worry and fear
it's a dinner without any plates.

I shall be your new lim-e-rick teacher
let me warn you, I'm really a preacher.
If you do earn a FAIL
I shall send you an ale;
to the Irish a limerick's a creature.

As you see you have had your first lesson.
Look at poems as delicatessen.
If you force them at all
your own star soon will fall;
You shall meet my dear friends Smith and Wesson.

No Limerick?

A poem presenting with rhyme
and which follows a rhythm in time
need not be what we call
a true Limerick at all
like a lemon, the cousin of lime.

Yet a limerick a lemon can be,
you could use a small slice for your tea.
Do not use it in fudge
and respect that the judge
is the man with no writing degree.

Eat Your Hart Out, Rick Springfield

(jimmy hart)
(spoken) ring, ring. hello, hello, hi, is cyndi in?
No, who is this?
What do you mean, who is this? this is jimmy hart, the mouth of the south. where is she?
Shes gone to the rick springfield concert!
Rick springfield!? !
I called my chick
On the phone last night
Her mother said
She was gone for the night
She had two tickets
To a rock n roll show
To see her working class hero
So I jumped in my car
And I cruised downtown
I could hear the music playing
From a mile around
So I got me a ticket
And I walked inside
I could see him standing
There in the spotlight
(chorus)
Eat your hart out, rick springfield
cause shes my girl
And she will always be
The only girl for me
Aint no rock n roll singer
Gonna take her away from me!
I called my chick the very next day
She was watching tv, dr. noah drake
She said, he so handsome and hes so cool.
She made me so sick I wanted to puke!
So I got me a guitar
And some red tennis shoes
And Im learning how to sing
And Im learning how to move
Im writing this song down
Just for you
Then all the girls
Will think Im so cool!
(repeat chorus)
Eat your hart out, rick springfield
cause shes my girl
And she will always be
The only girl for me
Aint no rock n roll singer
Gonna take her away from me!
(spoken)
Jessies girl!? ! you wanna steal jessies girl now you want my girl!
Hey baby, youre cruisin for a bruisin, rick!
When I get my hands on you c whoa!
Jessies girl, my girl, everybodys girl!

Line By Line

Writing line by line
Can i capture the truth in rhyme
You tell me okay its fine
Whats fine my writings or the rhymes
Have you read enough this time
Rhyme line rhyme
Am i wasting my time
Do i even comprehend
The thoughts the static static
Inside my head
I send a piece to a friend
Or are they scared to offend
I need to know if its rubbish
Putting it out there to be published
Rhyme line verse
Do you speak the truth or were you coerced
So im taking you at your word
You have listened you heard
Line by line
Rhyme by rhyme
Can i be convicted of poetry crimes
For writing dribble
About nothing as long as it rhymes
Well thank you my friend
Here is another i am about to send
Read it and read it again
Maybe you can send on to a friend
Okay time to go
I have more pieces of dribble you know

Family Picnic

Lyrics : Jani Lane, Rick Steier and Beau Hill / Music : Rick Steier and James Kottak)
Mother should know father should go
Battered dreams and broken bones
Living hell when hes at home
Fell so much pain
Im not to blame
Cannot move cannot breathe
He should die instead of me
Some break away
Some choose to stay
But every scream kept inside
Leaves a scar either way
Chorus
We are on our own
We all die alone
Black eyes broken truth
Im still bleeding from a wasted youth
Welcome, to my family picnic
