Historical Note
Just a little side note here that I thought limerick #6 was pretty clever. A lot of these others were contributed by guys at the office, who were always glad to help me with quizzes like this. 'Cuz hey, it sure beats real work.

News and humor for the Pogo community
Movie Limericks!

So yesterday, a bunch of folks here at the office thought it would be fun to take movies and condense them down into limerick form. Partly because we felt the need to express ourselves poetically, but mostly because, hey, it beats working.

Anyway, here's a few that we came up with. Your job? See if you can figure out what movie these limericks are supposed to be describing. For example, this one...

It seems as though everyone thinks
That this prequel totally stinks
The plot, it fell flat
But much worse than that
Was that character named Jar-Jar Binks.
... was for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

See? Wasn't that easy? Now let's see how well you do on the rest of these guys...

Look here, you're quite clearly insane
As I've already tried to explain
I'm no master spy
And I don't want to die
So what's with that low-flying plane?
This man has his rules to enforce
And he does so with little remorse
You dare not refuse him
For it won't amuse him
And you'll wind up in bed with a horse.
Oh, Dill, you're a breath of fresh air
With you I could easily share
The rest of my life
As husband and wife
Uhh... what's that you're hiding down there?
I hide in your closet at night
And give kids a terrible fright.
Still, I'm not a bad guy,
Though my singular eye
Means I lack three-dimensional sight.
A dysfunctional kid from the burbs
Wears a cap and sells illegal herbs.
When he meets Lester's daughter
He thinks she's much hotter
Than a bag he filmed next to the curb.
Sammy Jankis was just a pretender
And ruined his life
Someone murdered his wife
His memory's gone through a blender.
Poor Leonard just doesn't remember;
Forget Doctors Pavlov and Skinner
This psychiatrist's really a winner
But you're in for a shock
If ever this doc
Invites you over for dinner.
He came from a bad neighborhood,
His mother drinks more than she should
So he turned to rap
To escape from this trap
And was "dope." (I think that means "good.")
In the first scene, the main guy is dead.
Then in flashbacks, his life is retread.
He builds an empire
In the end, there’s a fire
That burns up some busted old sled.
Nothing you know now is true.
Don't take the pill that is blue;
You'll figure out soon
There's really no spoon
And pick up some kick-ass kung fu.
Though father ruled all like a king
The Sister taught children to sing
But music can mend.
He found in the end,
She was one of his favorite things.
A bunch of short guys with big faces
Come to earth and blow up lots of places
While our monuments burn
Jeff Goldblum will learn
That ETs all use Mac interfaces.
