As the evening begins to darken,
do take my advice, my friends. please hearken!
If a sword and shield you have equipped,
beat him you will, you'll have him whipped!
Full of candy, to bed you go! Leave that place before your eyes darken.
Dark Harvest Festival limerick contest! [Winners posted Oct. 25, 2012]
I stumbled upon candy, seventyfive sweet.
I gave them to strangers who gave me a treat
I donned the mask so cute.
And gained the task to spook
As I find haunted hamburgers to can has eat
Why are we such set on this task
Collecting these costumes and masks?
Sure they are festive
And fashionably best'f
The season, but will't really last?
Hope'fly our ventures have not gone to waste
collecting these strange sets with virulent haste!
This a-color of orange,
how much we adore, hinge
'es upon our varied tastes.
(Lordofnecromancers, your limerick was awesome!) :o
Heed these words of wisdom and avoid the ban,
Free candy awaits ye if you follow this plan,
Be excellent toward each other on forum and game.
Be wicked to Pumpkin King with flourishing aim.
And beware the FSC throne and the free candy Lord Van.

"Tee hee hee

A king with a shrewd sense of 'Fun',
Has a habit of jumping the gun,
For the dead grab your feet,
As he shouts, "Trick or Treat?",
The only things worse are his puns.

No candy but bombs in this vault;
The King I have failed to exalt.
My mist now depleted,
I lie there defeated,
Then run to log on to my alt.

Two knights got a thought in their head,
"I've got the king" each had said.
As they argued the best
the king woke from his rest
and now both of those fighters are dead.

I set out to acquire candy tokens.
And exploited missions so broken.
The King made a racket
Whenever I'd smack it.
But Bomb Gourdlings left my corpse smokin'.
it was an interesting challenge, unfortunately I wasn't trying to go for comedy which most of these guys did. *facepalm*
YAAAAAY I WON
thank you very much
didn't think I had much of a chance :D
Thanks again
Congrats to the other winners and I'd just like to point out that it was fun reading everyone's wonderful limericks.
I'd like to thank the Academy- wait, wrong speech.
On a serious note, I'm rather thrilled I won. Must be the luck of the Irish or something. Now I have a souvenir for this year's Festival, too, considering I still haven't gone Punkin farming. Maybe I'll get the candy helmets next year.
Congrats to the runners up, thanks to the judges, and like Baldy said, it was a pleasure reading those limericks.
Darn :/ I was sure I'd win at least a runne up prize. XD
Anyway, congrats to the winners. :3
xD Indeed!
Congrat-awesome-lations Scamall!
Congrats to Scamall and the rest of the runners up, and great limericks from everyone! And thanks for hosting the contest Eury, it was good fun :D
I got a Sallet from the prize box x)
oh ho ho it's a Spooky night
The Punkin king rises with his might
as all brave prepare Knightly
Venturing through danger risking your life
what does the King have for thee
is it either TRICK or TREAT?
