There once was a slayer from Nantucket

A young demi-goddess named Glory
Came to an end rather gory
Changing into her brother
Made her easy to smother
Mainly because Giles is awesome

This episode’s really quite odd
(Buffy gets groped by a cod)
But its saving grace
Is Cordelia’s face
When she first gets a sight of Xan’s bod


I can't read that without thinking of another verse which, unfortunately, eclipses it:

The Little Mermaid’s Little Sister
was also partly girl and cod
though in a way which those who kissed her
found odd.

But which, well worth to mention,
though at first sight absurd,
I, with my fond intention,
preferred.


Thank you, Piet Hein, for forever making the word 'cod' such a vibrantly colored little piece of my lexicon.

I thought this one was pretty good, though:

Puberty brings lots of change
It’s annoying and sometimes it’s strange
Kids get zits on their faces
And hair in weird places
And, in Oz’s case, possibly mange


Most of them rhyme and scan at least OK, which easily puts the author in the top 99% or so of internet limericists, but most of them are also kind of weak in the punchline. That one gets a pretty good twist in the tail (which Oz would probably not appreciate now that I think about it).

A maxim of portent unkind
Has recently troubled my mind
It was heard in a dream
I awoke with a scream
"It eats you, starting behind."

If your marksmanship's not up to form
And women you generally scorn
From your body, your skin
May be ripped on a whim
And nobody really will morn

A graduate student named Riley
Was secretly working for ... Riley
And Riley and Riley
And Riley and Riley
And Riley and Riley and Riley

If dead people's chats are for you
There's an episode you must review
With an opening part
By a blue Angie Hart
On November twelfth two thousand two

Ethan backstabbed Giles like a Macbeth-
A Fyarl with mucousy breath!
Though he’d horns on his face
It was worth it to chase
That evil bitchmonster of death

In a somnolent hullaballoo,
The First Slayer became nightmare fuel
While their psyches were churned
One thing all Scoobies learned:
Wear the cheese – do not let it wear you

Strange alliance while Willow’s heart mends-
Riley’s wingman was quick to defend
Don’t hurt Buffy or grovel
You’ll be beat with a shovel-
Vague disclaimers are nobody’s friend
------------------
With a Buffybot, Spike was alit
But it turned out he’d just stepped in it
He was tortured, it’s true
For the Key must be new
And Bob Barker is as old as grit

Buffy’s gone to the desert, adrift,
Hokey-Pokey Giles gave her a lift
She returned for a kiss
But was not feeling bliss-
It’s a bitch to find death is your gift
-----------------
Just one summer without their Buffy-
Thank a scary resourceful Scooby
Though they caused a great rift
(She thought death was her gift) -
Willow found a return policy

Okay, I've officially found the perfect storm of distraction. I should be revising my lecture. This post is deadly.

There once was a writer named Whedon
Whose characters die for no reason
At first it is sad, it gets old, you get mad,
Since he does this three times a season.
