Y'all need some sort of project to work on while I'm offline. So, here it is:

Balisong limericks!

There once was a lady from Pittsburg
Who's website was a bit absurd.
So she added a balisong,
One that is five feet long,
Now a high hit rate she's assured.


Just remember: keep 'em clean. This is a family site.

I'll post the best one on the front page of my site when I get back. (Decisions of the judge (that's me) are final... unless shouted down by an overwhelming majority of those present.)

Hmmm, I love a challenge...

They keep us up many late nights,
Flipping till first morning light.
With finger rolls, spins and loops,
Double flip, toss and *OOPS*
Neosporin on hand for love bites.

 
While scopeing the new 42
I found titaniums handles are new
Others bring no satisfaction
and minimal attraction
I'm considering bali-haiku
 
There once was a gangster named Joe,
Who put on quite a balisong show.
Though he slung and he slew,
It spun down through his shoe,
And now he is minus a toe.

There once was a youth named Gijit
He was often inclined to fidget
He flipped his knife
Every day of his life
And died lacking many a digit!

Elect Cthulhu!
Why vote for the Lesser Evil?
 
Heres mine. Inspired by Jack Daniels and Florida sunshine.


There once was a girl named Christine.
She had a Balisong fit for a Queen.
Some dude tried to "get her",
By lifting her sweater
Now he's left with one nut...... like Tom Green.

Because......
getting 'em open
is half the fun!
 
What list of limericks is complete without a reference to our favorite resident of an island off Cape Cod?

There once was a man from Nantuckett
Who fumbled his bali and stuck it
Right into his hide,
Then he sat down and cried,
"I'll have to catch all this blood in a bucket!"
 
Wow. There's some funny ones here. Excellent work.

Now, this happening at the same time as the little debate with our friends and colleagues on the Emerson forum made an interesting point to me. You don't see them writting limericks about their knives.

They'd probably say, "Of course not. We're serious about our knifes!" True enough. (I, BTW, have several Emerson knives and like them very much.) But, I think that many balisong artists are very serious about our knives too. The difference is that balisong artists tend to be creative people. They like to write limericks because it's a fun way to explore words and ideas. And, they like a knife that allows them many creative options too: the balisong. We like 'em because they open new opportunities for creative and artistic exploration.

My pick for the best balisong limerick is that of FoxOnTheRun.

Oh, and how about this last one:

There once was a maker named Emerson
Who's knives were all grade A-1
One fan thought balisongs
Are only for ding-dongs
But that's what you expect from Sweeden
