Criminal Minds Fanatic Limerick Contest:
We thought a limerick contest might be a great way for our very creative members to spend part of the “encore episode” season. We also want to get some giggles from the Criminal Minds cast and crew who regularly view the blog and website.
A limerick, for the uninitiated, is a five line poem that follows a very specific pattern. The first, second and fifth lines must rhyme and the third and fourth must rhyme. You have probably heard something like this one:
There was a young man in New York
Who ate all his meals with a fork
But he was given chopsticks
And his table for six
Got covered in noodles and pork!
To see more examples just search the internet for limericks and you can see how the limerick is designed. We do want your original creations, though.
Our topic: Criminal Minds characters and episodes from Season 1 and Season 2
The contest begins immediately after this notice is posted to the blog and ends on Saturday July 28th at 12 PM (High Noon) Eastern Daylight Time.

(thank you to Sherlockette for designing and running this contest)
I already have the Season 1 dvd set and I suck at limericks anyway but I'm looking forward to reading the entries from the more creative CM fans! Good luck guys!
ReplyDeleteJust to get the ball rolling:
ReplyDeleteThere once was a producer with heart
Who keep his show’s fans in the loop from the start
When a main character left
The fans were bereft
But they knew the show would not fall apart
For those people who may not know, the actress who played Rebecca Garner in FK1, FK2, and NWO2 is Ed Berner's real life daughter, Amanda Bernero. Here is a little ditty I came up with about that:
ReplyDeleteThere once was a CM writer named Ed
Who went where others might dread
He killed off his daughter
In a terrible slaughter
And left her lying there in her bed
Matthew GG is the man for me
ReplyDeleteKnown to the fans to be as cute as can be
Some just know of him by fame
Others just by his funny name
But cutie Gubler is just the man for me
One day, everyone asked "Where's Patinkin?"
ReplyDeleteHe left us all wonderin and thinkin
The cast thought he had crashed
The fans wept and gasped
With all of them still asking "Where's Patinkin?"
Who is this new girl playing "Emily"
ReplyDeleteAt first we looked at her warily
In the beginning we were iffy
But now we think she's spiffy
So now she's part of our family
We wish a happy birthday to AJ
ReplyDeleteWe love you and the character you play
It's you over whom we fawn
You're our favorite bombshell blond
We hope it's a happy day!
Hotch wears his Kevlar vest
ReplyDeleteWith “FBI” emblazed across his chest
And sunglasses of justice
Add just the right touches
To frighten an UNSUB to death
Okay you gals and guys : )
ReplyDeleteWe need some really funny stuff to entertain our cast and crew.
Here are a couple of "revelations" to get your brains working.
The BAU team had a hunch
That Reid might not have eaten a bunch
But they all came unglued
When he ordered his food
“I’ll have fish, hearts and livers for lunch”
Charles said to Reid “You’re a sinner!”
Reid said “No, no I am not I’m a winner!”
Charles then winces and shrugs
“But boy you do drugs!”
Reid said “Yes, but I’m just a beginner!”
Inside us all there is something we dread
ReplyDeleteEven Dr Reid has fears in his head
The dark is his fear
But why is unclear
"The inherent absence of light!" he said.
There once was a genius named Reid
ReplyDeleteAnd one thing he could do was...well...read
20,000 a minute
There's really no limit
And that's why we love him indeed.
The BAU has a genius, so skinny
ReplyDeleteWhen he sprout off the facts, it's too many
So they sent out a plea
"Please don't say,'Actually'
And bore us to tears,don't be a ninny!"
They peer into criminal minds
ReplyDeleterecoil not from what they might find
brave wizards, wise knights
restore peace to the night
show us ourselves, so brutal, so kind
There once was a genius named Reid
ReplyDeleteso dashingly dressed up in tweed
When his lips kinda quirk
such an adorable smirk
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
HEY! You there! Stop staring into space with that silly smile and finish the poem!
What? Oh yeah . . . sorry! Where was I -
When his lips kinda quirk
such an adorable smirk
the unsubs should just fall at his feet!
There once was a profiler named Morgan
ReplyDeletewho could do a lot more than kick doors in
but smart as he is
he still loves the boy whiz
and gives him tips on gettin' his groove on
There once was an Agent called Morgan
ReplyDeleteGarcia flew to Quantico to hoard him
He's in her closet with Clooney
Whos barking like a looney
And Garcia's shut those chaps in with him!
Morgan was the Profiler Profiled
ReplyDeleteHis past was mysterious & deeply filed
When a visit to home
Had him solve his case alone
And ends in healing his inner child.
The best show is Criminal Minds,
ReplyDeletewhich disturbs some good friends of mine.
There's plenty of killing
and interrogative grilling,
but Dr. Reid is Geek Boy so fine!
There is a young man named The Gube
Whose modelling career seemed to loom
He made little movies
That producers found groovy
So now he’s on a show on the Tube
MGG is an actor
And strong motivation is a factor
He takes acting lessons
For his chosen profession
But finds himself modelling tractors
(But with great eyeliner)
The Gube has a thing for his hair
It’s the prettiest hair that’s out there!
He buys the best brushes
That are expensive and luscious
‘cause he knows his follicles are rare.
My fave actor is Matthew GG
and a Gray rhyme is easy to see.
But his last name's appalling -
my self-esteem is falling -
because “Gubler” is making me flee!
Slashgirl is famous for screen caps.
For each ep they serve as street maps.
She’s a girl of such brilliance
She’s adored by the millions
And MGG wants to sit on her lap!
The contest in now closed!
