We asked you for limericks on the topic of the next-gen console war and the responses astounded us. All manner of limerick were fashioned, many of them clever, some of them just awful. It's as if some of you were channelling Edward Lear. That makes choosing one best limerick difficult, so we're going to shirk the responsibility and ask you to choose from among our 20 favorites. You can vote once per day and you can select multiple limericks per vote. We'll end voting on Tuesday at 11:59 PM EDT.
Please click "continue" to read the best limericks and cast your votes.
Which of these is the best limerick?
PS3, Wii, and 360My money 'twas spent quite quicklyThese next gen warsCost much more than whoresAnd these consoles won't even lick me!
Nintendo has Reggie to woo us,Geometry Wars seems to glue us.But Sony, alas,Just talks out their ass.Great Maker, I hope they don't screw us.
There once was a man named Kaz,Who delivered keynotes with pizazz,When asked, "What's Sony's plan, sir?"He screamed "Riiigde Racerrr!"Now everyone thinks he's a spaz.
With holidays just 'round the bend,these console wars may see and end.But as for Infinium,we'll end the milleniumbefore us the Phantom they'll send.
The hype was around PS3,but then came the news at E3.Lame demos with duckscost you six hundred bucks,and now people just want a Wii.
I camped for the Xbox 360Sold my soul for the PlayStation 3Without remorseThe wife divorcedNow I'm left here playing with my Wii!
As we patiently waited through summer,engrossed in the console war thunder,could we last through the hype,and the fanboyish tripe,to be saved by an Italian plumber?
There once was a console called WiiWhose games, they were ever so twee.But children are poor, plus no graphics allure, caused a failure of epic degree.
With the PS3 launch getting near,The console war picture gets clear,They'll lose market share,Kaz says they don't care,While the stockholders tremble in fear.
Score Achievements, be a champ!Get a Wii and break a lamp!Buy a PS3,You'll have no money,Left to even buy a stamp!
One system to rule them allSaid fanboy in line at the mallHe pulled out his cardAnd swiped like a tardOverdrawn, please allow me to call
Three-sixty's new toy, XNA,Will let folks make their own games to play.But when PSP's cracked,Sony cries, "We'll fight back!Next week it's firmware update day!
Once, Nintendo was head of the packBut their arrogance caused them to crackNow Sony is leading, but it bears repeating:Same Nazis, same choo choo, same track.
I love my new Playstation 3.It's a super-computer, you see?I paid six hundred buckswhich pretty much sucks,but I never did care for my spleen.
Pay attention, Joystiq crawlers,those next-door explosions and hollers,is a 360 near,(they've had it all year),and it didn't cost six hundred dollars!
I've been waving my arms like a chimp,to make Link win a fight with an Imp.All those arrows I've fired,have made my arms tired!I can't play anymore! I'm limp!
Any stable cross-platform relationsHave been lost in this dire conflagration!In the end, I am sure,We'll be just as we were......'Till it's time for the NEXT generation!
Sony started out well with the 'station,But their ranting just caused irritation,They say its the answer,and it will cure cancer,But Heck it ain't out by vacation.
Whatever features a console will sportWhatever rabid fanboys reportI have to insistIt does not existExpectations will always fall short.
But wait! There's a console I dreamWill be released to acclaim and esteem-Weblogs has no siteAnd that just ain't rightWe need Phantom Fanboy, I deem.
