In honor of an old girlfriend from Kiev who I called my KGB connection

[hobbit709]

Back in the 80's she had the best cocaine.

1. There was a lady from Kiev...

Who...(what the hell rhymes with Kiev?).

Limerick FAIL.

[elleng]

2. Need another syllable:

There was a YOUNG lady from Kiev . . .

May dream about it!

-----
Weave
Leave
Grieve
Sieve

[pinboy3niner]

3. It's still hard to rhyme with Kiev...

...without twisting the pronunciation I believe.

[elleng]

4. HAHA!

I think/believe Ruskis pronounce it like 'Keev,' not 'Key-ev' as we pronounce it.

[Iterate]

5. There once was a gal from Kiev

There once was a gal from Kiev
Whose name I remember as "Bev"
She wasn't a spy,
Her promise "OH MY"
We'll snort all the powder we have!

First draft, but damn, you could have set an easier start.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. still, nicely done!

7. There was a guy in Germany...

Who had to go to the infirmary.
His nurses were cool,
His room very nice
But he yelped,
"You didn't tell me my doctor was Pinboy!"

[Iterate]

10. Whew, I was afraid for a second

that I would have to come up with a finishing rhyme for "wormany".

And then the terror came. From now 'til forever the sight of a masked surgeon with a scalpel will bring the question "Is it...? Could it be...?" Sometimes, all reasoning aside, "maybe" is not the right answer.

You'll get yours later when we hijack another thread. First I have to leave Kiev unfinished and start fresh writing. Did you ever use eyeliner?

Hope this finds you well. Prost!

[pinboy3niner]

11. I'm good and I hope you're well, too

Rest assured that I'm not stalking you--for the moment. But should I get over your way, you know that I'll definitely look you up. We could even go see your witty NATO friend together.

I hope we didn't set you off on another one of your tangents here. As for me, I think I'll pass on looking up old limericks and figuring out the rhyming.

"Wormany"? Really? LOL!

Raising my glass to you...

8. I'd love to live out a month as a Warren Zevon song

I'd probably go with Mr Bad Example, but I see myself in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. I use to live in Splendid Isolation, but I had to then do time at Detox Mansion after I Was In The House When The House Burned Down. What can I say, My Shit's Fucked Up.

9. Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals.

Charlie used to sell me pills.
Yesterday his sister called me
to tell me he'd been killed

some respectable doctor from Beverly Hills
Shot him through the heart
Charlie didn't feel a thing
Neither of them did
Poor kid

Charlie had to take his medicine
Charlie got his prescription filled
I came to say good bye
I'm sorry Charlie died

[Manifestor_of_Light]

12. Detox Mansion.

13. That may be my favorite Zevon song.

It was the the first one I fell in love with.

[pinboy3niner]

14. Even long after the Cold War, I can't help thinking of this...

[UTUSN]

15. I have *no* clue. (As usual.) n/t
