A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Intervention (5x18)

When Buffy goes off on a quest,
Spike’s devotion is put to the test.
His love proves steadfast,
But the Scoobs can’t get past
The more sexbot-y proof he’s obsessed.

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Fool for Love (5x07)

Spike has slain many Slayers, it’s true,
But deep down what he is, through and through,
Is a big fool for love
Who is terrified of
Seeing Buff tear his dead heart in two.

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Out of My Mind (5x04)

Riley’s system is all out of whack
And we’re sure sad ‘bout that heart attack
But it’s hard to recall
His problems at all
Seeing Spike and Buff get on their mack

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - The Yoko Factor (4x20)

‘Twixt Buff and her best-friends-for-life
Spike plants the beginnings of strife
And by the plot’s end
Between these four friends
Is a tension you’d cut with a knife

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Doomed (4x11)

While the Scoobs are all stuck in the past,
It’s the present that has Spike downcast:
It’s driving him dotty
To be “kind of naughty”
‘Til he learns he can still kick some ass 

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Something Blue (4x09)

Seeing Buffy and Spike intertwined
Makes Giles oh so glad to go blind.
It’ll take more than baking
For their horrid love-making
To be thoroughly stripped from his mind.

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - The Harsh Light of Day (4x03)

Being a dick is all part of Spike’s cool
And Xand’s too confused to be cruel —
But no reason we’ve found
Can excuse Buff’s rebound
For being a gigantic tool

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Lover’s Walk (3x08)

Cordelia and Oz really flipped
When they saw both their sweethearts lock-lipped
And Angel pretends
He and Buff are just friends—
At least Spike can admit when he’s whipped.

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Becoming, Part 2 (2x22)

Take one
While Willow is doing some souling
And Xander is acting controlling
Spike proves a strange friend
In helping our Buffy end
Angel’s bid to get the ‘pocalypse rolling

Take two
Willow does her first functional spell
Xander says to send Angel to hell
Angel’s stabbed by a sword
Just as his soul’s restored
And Buffy gives him one last kiss farewell

Take three
When Spike’s crowbar’s a swing and a miss
And Xander does nothing but dis
And Willow’s still trying
To keep him from dying
In the end Angel’s killed with a kiss

AND SCENE
Spike and Buffy make rather strange allies,
“Willow says kick his ass,” Xander lies,
Angel’s soul is restored
Just as Buffy’s sword
Runs him through, and she says, “Close your eyes.”

While we often go through many drafts before we have a limerick we’re happy with, we decided to post a few different versions this time to show how many ways we attempted to do exposition in a five line poem. Personally, I still like the first one best, but periru3 laughs and laughs and laughs every time she hears the word “‘pocalypse” and for some reason felt that was inappropriate to the episode. *hands*

Which one do you prefer?

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - School Hard (2x03)

Buffy was facing her fear
That her mom would meet Snyder and hear
About her behavior –
Who’d think that her savior
Would be a vamp with blond hair and a sneer?
