 Topic: Prog Rock Limericks
Posted: June 21 2013 at 23:23 |
Was just hanging around on a Friday night and came up with these. Hope other people post some too 
There was once a player named Fripp Who's musical skills were a trip He became Crimson King Though he never could sing Take a picture of him and he'd flip!
Jethro Tull once was a band 'till Ian got way out of hand He fired the crew Even Martin Barre too Taking matters into his own hands!
In Genesis once did I trust Then Phil Collins went crazy with lust The three took a chance Though they just couldn't dance And they traded their fans for a buck!
Pink Floyd were the space rocking Kings Then Roger changed everything His ego went mad Treating Gilmour so bad That poor David for years couldn't sing!

There once was a tadpole named Dick
A surly but passionate hick
His band were so pish
He called himself 'Fish'
and took up bad acting real quick

I can't think of any limericks. But here is a haiku.
This thread idea
Shall get many laughs and grins
Move to "Just for fun"

I really do get a kick
Of the many different kinds of music
But of these myriad kinds
And from the wonderful minds
Comes the prog that I usually pick

Three young musical guys they were
In tarkus and on karn evils they prospered
But the 80's they couldn't reach
So they went to a love beach
Sorry for the english...Not my native tongue...

There once was a band called Yes
What they sang of was anyone's guess
From rearranging livers
To heads under rivers
They made no ladies undress

An A+ for effort  but you forgot the last line...how about:
Three young musical guys they were In Tarkus and on Karn Evil's they prospered But the 80's they couldn't reach So they went to a love beach Wearing disco shirts none would prefer.
I have a feeling there may be several Love Beach cover limericks on the way

Three young fellas in the Bahamas
On a beach wearing pyjamas
One pressed keys, one hit drums, one was plucking bass
E, L and Carl P got sand kicked in their face

I just can't resist...
When I think of sand and palm trees I never could see E. L. P. But those bare chested boys Made a Godawful noise And the album price should have been free!

 I will never understand how a seasoned witch could call me from the depths of my disgrace and rearrange my liver to the solid mental grace, but Yes is still the greatest band that ever existed. Sorry, that's not a limerick, just my thoughts.

If yer a true fan
Of all things be prog
Then up on yer feet for this cry;
For only we know
That our Jethro Tull
Is both a band and a guy

There were two boys from Willowdale Craving to see girls from a stage But then a drummer they found with lyrics so profound That instead they saw boys oh so pale!

Was a Prog Masterman from Ealing
For to get rid of an over-powering feeling
Got a metalprogger most faulty
To bird-dog his Salty
In a manner most endearing.

Repercussions resounded still
From Gabriel's horn atop Solsbury Hill
And when the auditions all failed
The band found the trick of the tail
Was that Genesis already had their Phil
