The Limericks Series

Summary:

Co-authored with Archer. The first 6 episodes summarized in Limerick form. Obviously, major spoilers for the first 6 episodes.

Okay. These were originally written as our dues for another mailing list. But I've enjoyed reading everyone elses stuff so much, I thought I ought to contribute. Though you'll probably disagree with that sentiment after reading these. ::grin::

That being said, the motivation behind this exercise in ridiculousness is: I wanna see if I can summarize every episode in limerick form. Hey! No one ever claimed I was sane! Anyway, Melanie (Archer) and I brainstormed these together... (yeah, brainstorm... or is that brain damage?) and -- since we already sent 'em in for dues, decided to subject -- share -- these with y'all.    So, I need to know. Should I/we continue this? Should I stop now before I hurt someone? Should I stop now before someone hurts me? ::grin::

Disclaimer: The usual applies.

Chapter 1: The Switchman (Pilot) -- In 4 Acts

Chapter Text

 

                The Switchman made buildings go "Boom"
                Banks and Plummer had gathered a room
                Of experts to seek
                And to find -- just a peek!
                Any ev'dence, as a deadline did loom.

                Now Banks' best detective was Jim
                Whose senses had him on the rim
                A grad student named Blair
                (Who had long, curly hair)
                Knew just what had happened to him.

                The perp was found leading a junket
                On a bus -- he's a girl! Who'd'a thunk it??
                Blair then popped her one
                And got hold of her gun
                While Jim found the bomb and then flung it.

                Jim decided he'd partner with Blair
                Which caused Captain Taggart to stare
                Jim said a cadet
                Blair'd have to be yet
                Blair yelled, "I'm not cutting my hair!"
