Blacksmithing gems and pearls

[C-1ToolSteel]

The blacksmith stayed up late at night 

Attempting a limerick to write

He said it's a pity

If I was more witty

I'd be in my bed of delight!

[JHCC]

With limerick writing you task us,

For poetic humor you ask us,

But we're less skilled at writing,

And better at smiting,

So let us go make some Damascus!

Win...but I'll try anyway

 

To upset, to set down and twist,

with a delicate flick of the wrist,

after honing his skill,

For long years the smith still

chips his anvil, cause darn it, he missed.

[Daswulf]

There once was a man from Australia

whos beer would never a fail ya

when a man from the States 

came down to seal their fates 

they passed it around and wound up on the sofa. 

[Daswulf]

this guy he forged a rose

he pointed to his nose

"the girls they dig my stuff

And as if I had it rough

But the pattern, round it goes"

 

 

[Daswulf]

There once was a lonely blacksmith

he longed for to not be just the wheel fifth

when she finally caught his eyes

he claimed out in a surprise

"Now That is a girl I could be with" 

 

 

 

 

The blacksmith loved to hammer

and no he did not stammer

when the work day was through

he drank a pint or two

and never did he wind up in the slammer.

i have to say das, 'just your imagination' might not be enough for poetry. maybee a rhyming dictionary..... 

[Tubalcain2]

ok here it goes.

 

i was out in my shop one night

my forge i was trying to light 

i tried gasoline,

and the next i was seen

was by birds at a very high hight.

 

[Mark Ling]

That one made me laugh out loud! I enjoyed that one!

TubalCain2 once had a sister

Who disliked his blacksmithing blisters

But on I-Forge-Iron

There's less dangerous fire

So..shoot he's coming, better shish her!

[Mark Ling]

Ok, so first try-

After you punch your first hammer eye

Please try not to cry

But grab the drift

Be rather swift

And drive it away from the sky!

hmm. not to bad.

[C-1ToolSteel]

The Bowie knife snapped in a pinch.

Too bad he used water to quench.

In all of his toil 

If he had used oil

He'd find it was well worth the stench.

 

[Tubalcain2]

nice.

[mcostello]

Under the spreading Chestnut tree the mighty Smith labors

Tries to support His family

And all He gets is "favors."

[Tubalcain2]

yup.

[Tubalcain2]

very true. especially about the newbies wanting to make swords.

[ThomasPowers]

Still waiting for the rhymes with curmudgeons....(and for my bowie I did try oil first and didn't find it hard enough!)

[ThomasPowers]

I do have a Buda Liberty hand crank grinder...and my students often speak of my "grandmotherly kindness"

That is the truest graphic I have ever read!  I can hear myself growling, "I swear I just had it and imput it right here!" .....

.  then I find it inside the house next to the coffee I also forgot to bring outside with me.

[SLAG]

Greetings,

Concerning the above pie graph,

I have one remark to make.

Oh my GOD, you too  !!!

Maybe, I am not slipping into cozy senility.

SLAG

[Tubalcain2]

yup. i can't claim it as my artwork but it certainly is true.

[Glenn]

A very nice graph that reminded me of a topic from March 2007.

The old guys remember where the stuff is burred. (grin)
