Record Collecting Limerick Contained Herein

My friend at work and I communicated a lot through limericks today in a successful attempt to entertain ourselves. Here's one she wrote about record obsessed scum (i.e. me) that I felt was too good not to be shared.

A guy who liked albums on vinyl
Was once caught with one in a urinal
When they said "whatcha doing?"
He said "just some light screwing,
Well, I find the hole almost vaginal"

four weeks pass...

it's good, but only if you pronounce urinal "yer-EYE-nill"

You don't pronounce it that way?

i didn't know anyone pronounced it that way until i heard morrissey's "the boy racer." one of many, many important lessons i've learned from pop records.

I've always said youreyenal, but use the short I when I'm saying "urinal cake" (which isn't very often). I assume this is because of the Simpsons episode where Lenny throws one at Krusty and he says "A urinal cake?! Well you've just crossed the line!"

Uh, yeah. None of the words in lines 1, 2 and 5 actually rhyme.

A strangely obsessive downloader
Of mp3 files with vocoder
Said "That dash'd Peter Frampton
Has made so I can't win
My search terms are shit, like a floater.

My friend that I copped the limerick from finally saw this and asked me to point out "the replies must all be from Americans who can't rhyme properly. You have to put a mail on saying that in England it all rhymes and is quite masterful, otherwise they won't understand the genius."

Oh, and here are some bonus beats from her:

My friend preferred discs that played long,
He'd measure them up to his schlong,
Saying "7-inch is fine
And it sure outdoes mine
But a little wishful thinking ain't wrong".
