In the standard 5-line form...
1) Lines 1, 2 and 5 are longer and rhyme each other
2) Lines 3 and 4 are shorter and rhyme each other separately
The humor (or attempt at it) should reside in the 5th line.

I'll get us started:
Ode to an OP's Nerves
The OP showed his quandry just now,
The solution came quick with a bow,
Though it works as desired,
The OP is dog tired,
Spending hours trying to figure out how!

However, comma,
An OP more clever than shrewd
Posted a limerick really quite lewd
The readers all roared
But the Mods' only reward
Was all further posts to preclude.

Ha! Don't forget the title! It's part of the irony, or at least a shot at it...

Now I laugh as I wonder,
If Ray, in a way, 's an array?

Ode to a Distracted Mind
As the night starts, if things seem too boring,
The forum distracts, issues roaring,
So we dive in with zeal
Crafting answers unreal
Looking up... find it's three in the morning!

The Bad Thread
There was an OP who posted a thread
Before thinking it through in his head
Couldn't grasp an IF(OR
And behaved like a boor
And banned now for the insults he said.

There's a site that is called Excel Forum
Where is demanded a certain decorum
The Mods' patience flags
if you forget code tags
and vague titles? They really abhor 'em.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
There was a young lady from Shoreham,
who posted, from bed, to the forum,
instead of Ctrl Shift Enter
She switched on her camera,
made friends but lost her decorum.
well it is late ...
Hope this was useful or entertaining.
Uh-oh...points off for using the same rhymes in two limericks....oh wait, this isn't the banning thread. NVM. Good job, dudes.

Booming eck, JB. That's a bit tight.
This one comes with a title!
The Good OP
whilst exploring the use of vlookup
with a specialist she tried to hookup
through inadequate prose
her macros they froze
but alone she sorted the slip up
Hope this was useful or entertaining.
Ode to the Forgotten Thread
There was once a thread started by Vai
Which asked for feedback from each gal and guy
Suggestions kept pouring
Which Vai kept ignoring
We have an Admin who won't even try.
Ode to an Unwanted Coffee Break
When he learned some new functions in Excel,
He applied them too often... and not well,
He went on a bender,
Hitting CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER,
Now his sheet's stuck in calculate hell.

Nice, JB. I like that one.
"I hope that was an unwanted decaf coffee break, JB" he said poetically.
In college, my mates used to challenge me and I hardly ever failed...so care to give it a try?
The challenge is:
1) Name a topic / function / Excel situation / something to serve as a theme
2) One possible word or phrase to include as a bonus...
3) I have to come up with the limerick and the challenger must approve.
See if you can stump me.

Theme is quantitative analysis, word to use (preferably as a rhyme) is Sumproduct.
