A limerick
Lots42
From the rest of the humanly race
We take joy in the details
Of the stuff that entails
After murder and fistfights and lace
Jacob W. Haller
Though the limerick writer is free
With his rhymes to take some liberty
Still it does, without fail,
Help to look up "entail"
In one's new unabridged diction'ry.

ALMOST, but not quite perfect, Jacob:
The limerick writer is free
with rhymes to take some liberty
Yet it does without fail
Help to look up "entail"
In one's unabridged dictionary.

I was pretty damn close you might mention
Though the ryhme deserved condemnation
I should've researched
before I besmirched
My rusted and rattly reputation.

Cut me slack, if you please, this one time,
if my limerick's short of sublime.
Often scansion's my bane,
for two thirds of my brane
's used to come up with three words that rhyme.

I posted this before, but this time I hope to spell Sian Massey's
hometown's name correctly:
There was an old man of Aberystwyth
Who found a young lady to play whist with.
She took the first trick
So he took out his claspknife and cut her throat from ear to ear.

It would seem that correction is due,
since these limericks are all built like poo,
for the meter is wrong;
have you sucked on a bong?
Now, compose all these verses anew!

Still, Holly writes the best limericks:
There once was a lady from wooster
Who was often annoyed by a rooster
So she cut off its head
Until it was a pirate

There once was a feller named Peter,
Who drove his car into a meter.
They checked out his spine,
Which--thank God---was just fine;
But unfortunately the accident totally fucked up the meter.
