Terrific idea (and terrific answer!) I propose that when someone answers a limerick challenge, they offer a new challenge. Who wants to have a go at Embargo?

A noobish young player named Margot
opened pawns at a tourney in Fargo.
She was aiming for peddler,
but I knew to unsettle her
with a perfectly well-timed embargo.

Talisman
If cheap cards you would like to score,
Talisman helps you get more.
But one is enough.
You don't want to stuff
your deck with nothing but 4s.

Nobles
3 cards or 2 actions, your pick.
But don't rush for nobles too quick.
You won't get too far
by using 2 cards
just to increase your handsize to 6.

Young Witch

I know most of the time it will seem,
If you don't get a curser you're creamed.
But if Young Witch is all,
it may be a bad call,
to pick up if the bane card is Scheme

[jimjam]

awesome limerick, Glooble!

[jotheonah]

Torturer

One Torturer's kind of a drag
To choose 'twixt Militia and Hag
But play four in a row
And you either have no
Cards left or a deck full of slag

But what's this you're doing, by George?
Taking curse after curse into storage
It isn't that hard,
After two, just discard -
Oh wait, you're holding a Forge

[meshuggah42]

Embargo

Third round and in hand a copy I hold
Adding a Curse to each Minion sold
But he is too crafty
Going for Big Money
Oh, crap, I should have put it on Gold.

Edit: Eh, ehunt was faster...

Golem
Mass card-drawing was my ambition.
For drawers my golem was fishing.
I drew quite a hand.
It was working as planned,
'til the dumb golem found a tactician.

Stash
When it's time for the cards to be mixed,
my stashes become the first picks.
But if someone reacts
with discard attacks,
my hand is worth no more than 6.

Trader
You can ask of a rules know-it-all:
When ironworks gains a great hall,
do you get card and action
after trader reaction?
Even Donald cannot make that call!

Alternatively:

Can someone tell me what to do?
I really just don't have a clue.
I play ironworks
but a trader inserts
a silver for my dog of blue!
(reference: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/7743728#7743728)

Yet another:

On this topic I feel defeated.
I don't know what action is needed.
Walk and then feed
were the tasks we agreed,
but if I don't walk the dog, do I feed it?

Despite addressing only about 1% of what Trader does, these limericks are my favorites by far. Props.

Transmute

I Transmuted Estates to Gold,
And Coppers for more 'Mutes I sold.
Then 'Muting the 'Mutes -
My Duchies are beauts!
...you're 6 Provinces up?  I fold.

[werothegreat]

Loftiest of all Action targets
A card that promotes such largesse
To get one is hard
So try to discard
Your coppers to get the Grand Markets.

Much like the proverbial pringle
Grand Markets don't long stay single
For once one has popped
The fun can't be stopped
With ten, you'll have colonies for shingles.

[jotheonah]

Tournament

As a card, Tournament's pretty touchy
To use it you have to get lucky
If you just try to spam
And don't have a plan
Then have fun with that top-decked Duchy

Challenge: Come up with limericks for the Prizes. Bonus points if you have two bad rhymes for Diadem.

[theory]

My favorite Prize is Diadem
No one usually takes them
But with a City
it's not so s**ty
With +Buy it can cause mayhem

[rinkworks]

Followers

Chapel/Tourney to Followers creates
Circumstances of mean dire straits.
I hurt my opponent,
But then, in a moment,
I found myself swamped with Estates!

[HiveMindEmulator]

Bag of Gold
I'm losing like it's not even funny.
I took Bag of Gold like a dummy.
Not Followers first.
The attack really hurts,
but who can resist bags of money?

[Voltgloss]

Princess

With my Princess I was quite thrill't
To buy cheap what's normally gilt.
From King's Court I trumpet
"Get tripled, ye strumpet!"
...'tis Bridges I should have had built.

[werothegreat]

As much as you may want to try-a-dem
With prizes, you have to be sly-wi'-dem
If you pass up Followers
You'll wish you were a wallower
In poo, because you went with Diadem.

Whenever in desperate need
We all seem to have agreed
While there might only be one
It's a steroid-ed Pawn
Can't go wrong with that Trusty Steed.

[jotheonah]

Well that didn't take long. Nice work, team.

[tlloyd]

Another go at Princess:

At the tourney I won a Princess.
She helps me buy more cards for less.
But why should a woman,
Have this trait in common,
With a highway or bridge? I can't guess.

[Meserach]

A Bridge helps you get places quicker,
A Highway makes your passage slicker,
So the princess most chaste
Must induce greater haste
With an inspiring flash of her kincker!

[Meserach]

Treasure Map

The map's often lacking in power
As too often the shuffle goes sour
So behold my despair
When my foe bought a pair
And twice revealed Watchtower

[werothegreat]

My chosen supply will often host
The remarkably useful Trading Post
Get rid of Estates
Hey, these Silvers are great!
And then, of Provinces, I'll have the most.

Conflicting with this is the Baron
Who's most often sent on this errand:
Get Estates out of hand
Plus 4 cash I command!
Something about Charlize Theron?

Forget orange, nothing rhymes with chamber or errand!

I have this problem wherein
there's nothing that rhymes with "errand".
This lack of a rhyme
gives me a hard time
writing a poem about Baron!

The only other thing that rhymes with "baron" is "heron."  So far, there aren't any birds in Dominion.

You want to write about Baron
But its rhyme space is totally barren
With great unease
you try Charlize
But that's just a red herrin'.
