Tonia Barrows went on shore leave with Bones, Where she wore sexy torn tunics and hats shaped like cones. Don Juan came a-lusting Then the knight came a-thrusting and all that was heard were samurai, tigers and moans.

Don't do that ... it's like ending a line with "trucked". When Sulu first got a command He abducted Janice Rand. But Janice escaped And since it all had been taped Hikaru got a slap on his hand. Whew ... A dwarf people called Alexander
When Sulu first got a command He absconded with Janice Rand. They drank up some sake. He performed bukkake. She had to clean her face with sand. See, folks, a good limerick has the same number of syllables in the first, second, and fifth lines, and the same number albeit smaller in the third and fourth. I had to change the second line to make it even, and replace the last line to make it even, and I thought, why, just redo the thing. There, much better. Now don't go be hatin' on me 'Cause I calls it just likes I see. We all make mistakes But them's are the breaks When watchin' Star Trek on TV. Now "ohhhhh-kaaaaayyyyy" THAT! Here, see how easy it is. I'll start a new one...
It isn't just the syllables, it's the meter, and the three longer lines in your example don't have the same rhythm.
Steve beat me to it. And now ... "Kira and Leeta were both scissorin' In the finest Bajoran tradition." Er ... Lesson Two: Rhyme. See what rap has done to a generation? --Ted
I don't know what to do with scissorin'/tradition - plus, call me a chicken, but I just don't even want to guess what "scissorin'" means here. TG started a limerick that got lost somewhere or other - among some misplaced stressed syllables, maybe? So I'll go with his beginning. Maybe one of our many talented limerick doctors can figure out how to heal SicOne's contribution. A dwarf people called Alexander Just yearned for an orbital sander. (Yes, I know lots of things rhyme with "Alexander" besides "orbital sander." But I don't care. )
Kate, Trent was right; look up "tribadism" and you'll see...hey, then mebbe someone will finish the limerick The aptly-named SicOne
A dwarf people called Alexander Just yearned for an orbital sander. "Maybe Parman would go, If I could smooth wood just so...
Kira and Leeta were both scissorin' In the finest Bajoran tradition. When caught on camera This strange chimera
Kira and Leeta were both scissorin' In the finest Bajoran tradition. They told all the vedeks That they both had headaches But soon let young Dax join their position! No, wait, wait! Kira and Leeta were both scissorin' In the finest Bajoran tradition. By doing tribadism There is no mess or jism. A most amenable position!
Sic...you have officially earned your screen name. Euw. Also the rhymes are, I'm sorry, wretched. ("Vedek" and "headache"? Dude.) But mostly just euw. Euw. Just to get that out of my head (euw), back to Alexander's limerick: A dwarf people called Alexander Just yearned for an orbital sander. "Maybe Parman would go, If I could smooth wood just so... And make him his very own Mars lander."
JustKate, if I have well and truly disgusted you...then I have done my job, and done it well. Yeah, I know, "vedek" and "headache". But that's all I had. Until I found the better one! But, hey, I'll be back with some new ones later! Stay tuned! (Kate mutters under her breath, "just ignore him, maybe he'll go away...")
