Hello Steph!!!

 

Well...here is my story!!!

 

It happent some years ago!

 

I went out to eat with some friends, in a Chinese restaurant...

 

It was April 1st, but night! Who would expect that the game was still on!!!

 

We ordered and then my friends asked me if I like spicy food! I loved spicy food, so they gave me chilli to put on my soup! That was the first time I was using chilli! I didn't know!!!!! I put a little, but one of my friends, told me to put more, and it was ok! He actually took a spoon and put chilli in my soup!!!

 

OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mouth was so hot.....not even water could calm it!!! I had to order milk!!! they didn't have any...only some tiny cans for one person...the ones we put in coffee!!

 

I drunk them all!!!! all were laughing, I was red, I couldn't talk (that was good for them!!!) and I didn't eat anything!!!

I burned all inside me!!!

after they finished laughing....they said: We fooled you!!! April the 1st!!!!

 

The worst thing hapent the next day!!!! I had to go to toilet!!!! MY a#s was on fire!!!!!

 

Now, I use chilli but I know how much I can handle!!!

 

I have to say that 007BigD received my story with an email too!

[+fairyhoney]

Oh my a new cointest to enter

Is it spring or is it still winter

But outside one wonders

Good subject to ponder

A "mystery" coin to the winner

[+007BigD]

There once was a girl with a cointest

She hosted it at the tenderloinfest ...

 

Just as BigD saw the fun

To his pottery class he had to run

[+tsunrisebey]

Well so far I'm winning my own cointest

[+surteb]

There's a cacher who lives in PA

who knew jokes were the theme of the day.

He said, "Mail rates will go up.

Sending coins will get tough!

Hope your coins get to you before May!"

 

Thanks for the cointest!

I got a coin made by Tsun

I love to say it came soon!

the coin was a glitter pretty mermaid

I won it in cointest not from trade!

 

The test had to do with a name of a movie

I was lucky I was groovy (is that correct?)

A name passed from my mind to my heart,

and I posted...Braveheart!!!!

 

I was the winner and you know the rest,

I felt so nice, I felt the best

Oh boy am I psychic, am I cool

Relax gatoulis, it's Aprils fool!!!

[+Tethys C]

There once was a cowgirl from M T

Her coin designs made people go 'WEE'

She met up with a cowboy fella

But instead she chose the nutella

Grabbed her turtles and went to Belize.

 

[+The-Wolf-Pack]

There once was a geocoin addicted named Tsun

Who use to carry a big gun

Her nutella was stolen

the theif he was swollen

the weapon was her gun

[+LadyBee4T]

In this poem I need to vent

My money for coins was all spent

But after I saw

What Tsun had drawn

Off to the bank I went

From Wikipedia:

A limerick has five lines, with three metrical feet in the first, second, and fifth lines and two metrical feet in the third and fourth lines. A variety of types of metrical foot can be used, but the most typical are the amphibrach (a stressed syllable between two unstressed syllables) and the anapaest (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable). The rhyme scheme is usually AABBA.

 

The first line of a limerick traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and therefore establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. In early limericks, the last line was often essentially a repeat of the first line, although this is no longer customary.

There once was tsunrisebey turtle

Not knowing what to hurtle

He moved and he curved

He skirted and swerved

Till he finally fell on his aunt myrtle

I once sent a coin off a travelin'.

It was finished in matte gold (satin).

My heart filled with dread,

"Coin is missing," log said.

My coin didn't get far, it got stolen!

[+The-Wolf-Pack]

who wan't a moun10bike

everyone and all alike

there few and far between

can they even bee seen

will they settle for a moun10like

[southpawaz]

There once was a cacher named Jewel

who lived her life by one rule:

buy a coin every day

and then give them away.

She went broke but she wasn't a fool.

[+MountainRacer]

One night, through the forums I was bashin'

In my usual, half-awake fashion

When I saw this cointest

And obliged its request

To wax poetic about coins and cachin'!

The once was a mod from the forum,

Who was appalled by the lack of decorum,

When the topic got sticky,

It referenced the wiki,

to keep the area wholesome.

*** the following is my poor attempt to rhyme, nothing other than that should be read into it ****

 

There's a blue sphere called Eartha,

she monitors the forums like Big Bertha.

 

She says no to this or yes to that,

make her mad and get a message to scat.

 

She tries to be fair and stick to the rules

lika all good forum moderators are schooled.

 

But I gotta ask why, can you tell me please

why did she post the above media from wikipedia?

[+derschlings]

There once was a gal from Montana

Whose coins were all top banana

she asked for a joke

since we are all broke

from buying her americana

[Theotokos]

there once was a man from Nantucket

who hid a geocoin in a bucket

it soon disappeared

just as he feared

his gecoin looks to be muggled

[+LadyBee4T]

Another cointest today

On April Fool's Day

Is it a joke

or a little poke?

Leave it to Tsun to say

[+Red Otter]

There once was a coin with a code,

That showed a cool rainforest toad.

People say that it rules,

Because of its jewels,

So, I wish I had gotten a load!!!

 

Thanx for the fun cointest

[+GATOULIS]

Geocoins are something I really like,

As I saw there is none alike

I love the colors, I love their shape

I want them all, They look so great

Now who's will donate me a moun10bike?

There once was a cointest for all

The limerick was the OP's call

I saw a more than one post

that were poems, at most

But some were not limericks at all

[+D@nim@l]

There once was a girl name tsun,

Who made geocoins that were fun,

But then there was one,

That piqued my medulla,

Cuz, just what is a takatna pejula?

[+PaRacers]

There once was a turtle and frog

Who lived in a hollowed out log

Their house was a cache

And they were the stash

You went searching for out in a bog.

[+LadyBee4T]

A box full of padded envelopes

deliverd by Montana Jackalopes

I thught all for me

But empty they be

And all I could do was mope!

[+GATOULIS]

When I was a kid, I wanted a bike

Now in my 30's I want the mount10bike!!

What's going on! What is the best?

Oh boy, I'm tired, I need some rest!

Then I will see, what I like, and probably choose... the moun10bike!!!

 

 

It's almost day here in Greece! I am going to sleep!

 

Stephanie, thank you for the cointest!

Good luck to all!

[+The-Wolf-Pack]

Waking up it's a new day

theres a new geocoin on it's way

I hope I pray I get a chance

I need this geocoin rather then pants

geee I hope I have money to pay

[+zazth]

This rhyme is about a truck,

radio station said got stuck,

it was full to the hilt with beer,

over a hundred showed up saying no fear,

Oh, April fool's day, no luck.

[+zoesbrother]

There once was a cointest

It was better than the rest

Held in April

Made oh maple

It was a big fake cointest

[+surteb]

There once was a coin from Kentucky

who considered itself very lucky.

It was freed from a binder,

and left for the next finder,

but then in a cache it got stucky.

[+tsunrisebey]

There are some funny ones Just under 45 minutes now

 

There once was a group in this thread

Whose limericks I had just read

They were sad and morose

like eating burnt toast

Now the rest I'm going to dread

[Theotokos]

What an ungrateful man I would be

To look down on a gift given me

If I'm chosen to win

this cointest I'm in

I would be most thankful to thee

[+BlueMotmot]

There once was a turtle

Her name was Myrtle

And off to the sea did she...

Meet a young boy turtle

And soon there were three...

[+LadyBee4T]

I was having a very bad day

DNFs all along the way

And a coin hotel I found

Just laying on the ground

Muggles had thrown the contents away

[+derschlings]

I once got a coin from Helena

prettier than any gardenia

an artist's edition

made only by Tsun

as rare as a kiss from Athena

[+coreynjoey]

There once was a young girl named Steph.

who said Nutella was the best.

she met a cowboy

and jumped for joy,

and rode off into the sunset.

[+ThePetersTrio]

A cointest for all April fools

Causes groaning and laughter and drools

Wondering what coin she'll choose

and if we will loose

by a gross lack of limericking tools

 

[+The-Wolf-Pack]

There once was a cointest so fine and so fun

everyone inline started to run

the first one triped over there feet

the second on slipped on sleet

the last one got the Solvognen Sun

[Theotokos]

In Montana there once was a lady

who made me cry like a baby

I missed a big sale

because I was slow to email

now I'm hoping for Version 2 maybe.

[+BlueMotmot]

Once a young frog named Lily

Leapt off her pad to a tree

She saw a handsome young toad

And off they hopped down the road

Together they will always be

[+ThePetersTrio]

Coins on the brain night and day

Perusing the lists on eBay

Can lead to much grief

and the sinking belief

That my paycheck is dwindling away

[+LadyBee4T]

I was asked to write a limerick

About coins and told it was no gimmick.

I had heard tell

That the prize was swell

But I suspected it was a trick!

[+PaRacers]

Today was a day for the fools

Who didn't know what are the rules

They entered a cointest

But my limerick was the best

And I won some rainforest jewels.

[+coreynjoey]

There once was a stud named Corey

who had a really sad story

the coins went on sale

to buy he did fail

In trade he hopes to see glory!

[+Tethys C]

Okay, a Mermaid, a turtle and a frog walk into a bar..........wait, you said not dirty - right.

 

A Mermaid, a turtle and frog

Saw a Tatanka jump over a log

And a Toucan flew out

Of a Whale Trail spout

Then alit on a lilypad in a bog
