There once was a festival dear.
A time of great drinking and cheer.
We like it a lot,
too soon it must stop,
leaving memories just til next year.

(and if multiple entries are allowed)
There once was a man in a dress.
"What a shock!" "Not so" I confess.
It's that time of the year
for costumes and cheer.
And he looks good in it more or less.

Is there a limit to how many limericks we may enter per character?
Thank you. =)

It was such a wonderful beginning

Fall Festival had everyone grinning

It was such a great fest

Even the Gods were impressed

And all the people ended up winning

Festive hearts and merry laughter,
twinkling eyes and beautiful smiles, a happily ever after.
Attire to match any desire,
friendships forged dancing around a bonfire.
Grateful songs for Miranda , sang as she gazes from above the rafter.

There was guy in a wolf suit.
Who tried to chew on a boot.
He gnawed Elly's leg.
Then proceeded to beg.
So she thought he looked kind of cute

Fall Festival Fun is Rip-Roarin’,
certainly no time for snorin’.
With folks all adorned,
Like beasts that they scorned,
We really all look just like Thorin.

A demon costume I am wearing,
a certain colleague won't stop glaring.
Get ordered around,
I oblige dumbfound,
for this gear is mentally impairing.

As it says to the left......I talk WAY too much. ;)
And yes, I am fully aware that currently it says so to the right, rather than the left, which used to be the location for said line, but I am simply too lazy to change it for you.

When the leaves turn to gold for the Fall
The Town Crier doth echo his call:
"All Hear Ye, all ye here!
'Tis a time of good cheer,
So slurp cider and scoff CANDYBALLS!"

The fall festival is so neat
You can have all you can eat
During the fall
For each candyball
Children yell Fight or retreat !

Fall Festival is perfect for a story,
Of the creatures strange and gory.
Weird nights full of cheer,
Fellowship and revere,
and you may get to dress up as Cory.

Fall festival is fun for all,
Jake is back with his candyballs.
But beware Miranda,
She won't stand for slander;
And is still liable to smite one and all.

Fall Festival arrived with twilight,
Bringing Vampana who gives me a fright.
Buy a costume with a token and nod.
Oh me, oh my, I look like a god!
So who now shall I smite?

The silence of Valorn has been broken
The tireless World Crier has spoken.
"Candyballs" is the shout
A Bandito is out
Unmask him and claim a Fall Token.
BOOM BOOM!!

It's at this time of the year
Fall Festival fills us with cheer
When tokens exchange
For costumes so strange
And Balthy and Ben share a beer.

His costume was oh so scary,
It was large, dirty and hairy.
Some fainted dead from fright,
Others squealed in delight,
Fall Festival surely makes one wary.


I saw a gooey zombie today,
And a large wolf was in my way.
I stared at my feet,
Afraid of who'd I meet,
With demons no longer at bay.

Is this the Inn I said?
With my eyes crusy from bed.
Demons danced around
Scooter couldn't be found,
Then they all looked at me instead.

Candyballs are super sweet.
I give them to everyone I meet!
It's a time to celebrate
And for everyone to feel great,
While costumed in something neat!



I don't know if there's a limit to number of entries, but here's what I came up with.

If multiple entries are allowed please consider all below - otherwise I will gladly delete all except one!

As folks drank within Dundee Inn
The lovely Miranda came in.
She gave all a lift
With her warm cider gift,
And with joy they were filled to the brim.

It’s Festival time - hip hooray!
So let’s hope it’s a time when all may
Drink cider and giggle,
And irritate Tyral
Who would like his inn cleared out - Today!

Miranda devised a contest
And for Festival limericks pressed.
When they were all in
She gave a big grin
And several adventurers blessed.

While sitting in old Dundee Inn
A gaggle of gods did come in.
With three Bens and Corys
It made quite a story -
But this cleric’s head was done in!

While looking for tokens in vain,
Poor initiates found it a pain.
But a Knight of great rank
Had some back in the bank -
So now they have costumes again!

As a demon Knight Purazon dressed
To make RoK feel a confused mess.
But the guild were aware
From his shiny boots glare -
And his identity he soon confessed!

Vardian’s ‘Balthazar’ strolled in the Inn
With dark voice and an eviller grin.
Urkki’s ‘wolf’ growled,
Bit ‘Him’ and howled,
‘Cos he didn’t know where ‘He’ had been!
