3rd Annual Free Pipe For U.S. Veteran

[bayareabriar]

This time around, I’m looking for the most creative and original limerick. So, be creative and take your time. If it’s Okay with mods, please post your limerick here for all to enjoy. Have em posted by May Day and I’ll choose what appealed to me most.

A nice little Hawkbill Caminetto for the winner. (I think it was smoked once or twice, so not new but close!)

This is a handsome gesture for those who have served in uniform. I don't know if I can come up with an appropriate limerick, but mostly I just want to say thank you for the generosity.

You have a few weeks. I’ve seen your posts; you have what it takes. Hopefully we see some of your creativity here! And as always we thank you for serving!

Very nice gesture.

I'll tell you another time of the young Marine named Jack who often rucked with his sack.

 

[mso489]

Here's one, just to get the ball rolling:



A man once hunting a snipe


packed his shotgun and loaded his pipe.


When the bird then appeared


the man blew off his beard, but


the snipe smoked the shotgun for life.



Vet. status: U.S. Navy, 1968-1972, sea duty USS Gallant, MSO 489, Operation Market Time, South China Sea and coastal Vietnam, and shore duty Midway Island.

An effort at an original. Here goes...

There once was a Coastie from Kentucky.
With tattoo's all over his body.
One he darn't show, lest ye think him a brute.
Involved a lady, impropriety, and a flute.
Think him crass, it was on his ass and played a tune when he ate broccoli.

Suppose I should add, Active Duty USCG since 2007.

Currently serving afloat somewhere on the other side of the world thats sandy and warm ?

I'm still enjoying the meerschaum I won from you, so I will step aside.

Just wanted to say thanks for looking after the disgruntled veterans.

This is a real nice gesture. I don't need a pipe so you can ignore my.

There once was a Lady quite young
Who didn't like men who were hung
When a big one flopped out
She let out a shout
Oh, sir, won't you please use your tongue

There once was a man from Dumfries.
Who said to his girl, “if you please;
It would give me great bliss, if while playing with this,
you’d pay some attention to these!”

 

[bayareabriar]

Bump Bump. Some pretty great ones so far!

 

[Donb1972]

A foolish man looked at a pipe
'Twas given to him by his wife
He gave her a hug
Then said, with a shrug
This apple will never be ripe!

USAF 1991 - 1997

I love that you do this every year! I have more pipes than I can ever smoke so, I will also skip. Hope it ends up going to somebody having a bit of a tough time and would really appreciate the gift sir.

Bump. May Day this Sunday.

 

[bayareabriar]

Well, I am really impressed by the creativity! I got a few good laughs out of some and some were crude true to form.

I’m going to have to choose MSO489. Private Message me with your address

Thank you all for your service!

Wanted to thank everybody who has served.

Served during Iraq, Bosnia, was in during 9/11.

We did the prep getting ready for Afghanistan.

Last year was tough, it was my Vietnam moment even though I didn't serve during that time frame.

However, my father did 4 tours.

Thank you again for all who has served.

Just came across this thread. Thanks @bayareabriar for reaching out to and supporting Veterans!

 

[brandaves]

Congrats @mso489 and thanks to @bayareabriar for the very kind gesture! Happy smokes all.

Thank you to bayareabriar for his kind generosity as a tribute to all Forums vets. I enjoyed all the other entries and will most appreciate this fine pipe. I especially liked some of the rowdy limericks.
