There once was a music called prog
That critics would endlessly flog
It proved they were daft
So the rest of us laughed
And flushed their reviews down the bog!

A fellow called Hammill from Ealing
made songs with a desperate feeling.
He spiced up his voice
with an aeroplane noise
that the boys in the band found appealing.
He say nothing is quite what it seems;
I say nothing is nothing

I hadn’t read yours when I made mine. I suppose you mean Hammill, but I must confess that I don’t understand the part about the metalprogger and the bird-dogging … (I don’t know Hammill’s biography very well; I’m more interested in the music and the lyrics).

Seems PH limericks have become fashionable so here's another Wink

"I once wrote some poems" said Hammill
"That were dark and too dreary for Camel"
I asked Guy and Hugh
If they thought they would do
And they said "You're one sick twisted mammal!"

...and one about my favourite drummer...

A restless young drummer named Bill
Partnered with Squire until
The Fish drove him mad
So he left the Yes man
Wetton made him happier still!

Jon from a faraway planet
flew a spaceship and knew how to man it:
His trustworthy crew
was a Russian Khatru,
but none of them knew how to land it.
He say nothing is quite what it seems;
I say nothing is nothing

No, I don’t. To bird-dog is to observe or follow closely. "Salty" may mean a number of things, but I’ve found no noun, not even on Urban Dictionary. Remember that we’re a few people here who don’t have (North American) English as our first language. And who’s the metalprogger? Nic Potter? Keith Ellis? And I don’t know the story, thus it doesn’t make much sense to me. If you tried to explain, maybe you could make me laugh, or at least understand what your limerick is about.

Nå synes jeg du oppfører deg som en eklatant snottabajas som fortjener å kjølhales.

Btw, Rob and Dennis, very nice and funny verses! LOLThumbs Up

Thanks...and back at you, the opening couplet of your's is priceless...

There once was a band called Yes
What they sang of was anyone's guess

No.
(But yes, bird-dogging is known as  girlfriend-napping in Amerikay.)

Time for some new bands to have fun with...

A singer named Nichols was blue
'cause the neo-prog haters he knew
Claimed that he sucked
And his band was a bust
Which caused him to doubt his IQ!

Mikael growled words like a demon
Then sang like an angel between them
Some fans were amused 
And others confused
But The Mighty Opeth ruled Sweden!

Three Shulman brothers were friends
With musical gifts without end
They added a Kerry
And string man named Gary
Acquiring an intricate blend!

A more romantic one:

A flute playing bard born in Fife
told Shone, his beautiful wife,
"You may find me sick
or thick as a brick,
but I’m yours for the rest of your life."
He say nothing is quite what it seems;
I say nothing is nothing

There once was Henry, a Cow
To whom all the RIO bands bow
With a shrill German voice
And a clangity noise
They always made audiences say, "Wow"

I used to be better at this. Ouch

Good one!  Though I expected your punch line to be about Dagmar LOL 

(edit: oops, I just realized who the "shrill German voice" was) LOLLOLLOL
