Saturday Night Contest - St. Patrick's Day Edition

[j.bayme]

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, we wanted this week's SNC to reflect the holiday. So this week, here's the dizzle. We're looking for a theory11 limerick (named after Limerick, Ireland).

If you don't know what a limerick is, it's a type of rare, Spanish, wooden ship. EDIT: I have just been told by Dana that a limerick is in fact a type of poem. The rhyme scheme must be AABBA. If you want to know the exact form, check out this highly in-depth entry on Wikipedia on what a limerick is.

The main rules are that it must follow-- at least-- basic limerick form, being 5 lines and with the rhyme scheme AABBA. Topics should be theory11 related (in some way), and the more creative, the funnier, the better. Note that all entries must be family friendly and appropriate/respectful, and a limit of 3 entries per member.

All entries must be in by 11:00pm EST tonight. Winner to be selected by theory11's exclusive team of Keebler Elves and will be sent a 6 pack of Bicycle Centurions and/or a box of Lucky Charms. Have fun with it-- be creative-- and do it to it.

Here's an example, from my heart to you:

There once was a man named Dana,
who had what some call a girl's name, uh,
But he could make sweet songs,
With a chorus quite strong,
Even though he had a girl's name... uhh.

Sounds Great!

There once was a new magic site,
For a few months they stirred up some hype.
It's called T11,
Not 9, 8 or 7.
In darkness their must be some light.

Entry numero uno. I'll put up another later.

Flourishing with Dan and Dave,
Beating hecklers with a stave.

Learning how to stop your heart,
Filling up your shopping cart.

Steal some cards from Kenner's Cave.

I'll think of two better ones in a little bit, just wanted to kick things off.

Entry #1

There was a theory of eleven
The excitement surged and magic geeks were revin'
Just like me, for we shal see
Sadly, I buy every trick my eyes shall see
but thank god for sending wayne houchin and J.Bayme down from the heavans!​

Alright heres a sad one lol.

There once was a man who did a bad trick
The spectators revolted, hit him with a brick
He cried and cried
got hit in the side
Its a good thing he ran away quick.

 

[KillerStephen]

Theory 11 the magical place
Where just about anything turns into an ace
With artists and fans with skills more than fine
You sure to find something to help pass the time
So obviously you're in the right place.

I dont know, doesnt really sound right.

Learn to vanish a deck of cards
Buying lots and lots of...cards?

I don't know where this is going,
Make sure you're double lift isn't showing...

Or else we'll take away your...cards...?

Entry 1:

What is magic to you my dear son?
Do you do it to feel like number one?
Or do you perform
to break free from the norm
and make sure everyone has fun?

(fourth line was changed from "To stand out from the norm")

Entry #2:

There once was an old scottish man
who came cross sites of a magicians named of people like dan
On the site was said "visually" this and "visually" that
Whats with the word "visually" he said as he took of a theory 11 hat
But, mysteries soon ended as the team heard his rants, and kidnapped him in a theory 11 van​

1st entry

There once was a trick called SHIFTY,
it was actually quite nifty.
You get a card to rise,
no gimmick, cover or lies,
Chris, are you sure you aren't fifty?

 

[bentley]

A magician named Jonathan Bayme
who has a friend named Wayne
Created Theorry 11
this site is a magician's heaven
This place is insane

 

[VladiD]

Here is one about misdirection. (2nd Entry)

“Yo dawg is that a mad double lift”
The gangster asked the magician who caught his drift
“Naw man, Naw”
“Its yo girlsfriend's bra”
Said he, as he executed the Erdnase Shift.

 

[SHANE BLACK]

Here's one for you guys,


Time and time, sounds & rhymes
groundbreaking tricks we stew,
Eleven lonely dreamers,
that made us screamers
when they came out with something new.

Theory 11 can make you a pro
Not just a local, someone everyone knows
So grab a deck of cards
and practice real hard
and try your best not to blow

Entry 2:

There were these twins with the last name Buck
Oh how they loved to F....lourish
They can make cards change
and your brain re-arrange
With cards, they do not suck!
