  • Re: Gimmericks and other irregularities

    The perfect limerick is all anapestic. da da DUM da da DUM da da DUMda da DUM da da DUM da da DUMda da DUM da da DEEda da DUM da da DEEda da DUM da da DUM da da DUM So that means I was right the first time, in all but keeping Denny's rhyme of ''Maria'' and ''urea'' with ''dysuria''. Well, it was bound to happen: your description of the limerick ...

  • ()() I cannot NOT parody this week's poem...

    First, a brief reply to all the limericks (and some few of the serious comments too): Yikes! This week's been all work and no play -So...our poet owes much to Roget?Well, I just read the Pick,And I nearly got sick -Oh, good grief! It's as bad as you say. And I might be able to squeeze in another parody, if I can find the real weak spot in the ...

    Congratulations to NoStar as well, then! If Geoff ever recognizes my ''Home on the Range'' series as worthy of notice, then we'll know we're in trouble. ;) wr ()()

    Foobs:So what does this involve? I had assumed it was an honorary title... and it is a he, for the record... Thanks, Sir Foobs. It is an honorable title, but not merely an honorary title.

  • Re: Tuesday Limerick: Nothin' better than a two martini lunch!

    I had written the first reply, but omitted it when I saw that the apparent message of the poem sailed right by me. My serious comments are elsewhere. Here is my limerical reply, as inspired by your work and by Lunesta's reply to it: A comparison: ''breast'' and ''martini''?As for me, I was clueless at finis.(*)And it's strange that the ...

  • Re: Great minds think alike.

    This is one of Rakkav's Ruminations: @:-) Great minds think alike -- unfortunately, do so small minds! Another deft, daft limerick, one with almost perfect rhythm as well. Yes, indeed, it has much in common with mine quite independently. Much thanks (תודה רבה). wr ()()

  • Re: ()() Gewanter's *corpus* summarized as a limerick

    Ah-hah, triple threat! :) From your mouth to Gewanter's ears. Unless Joy Young is a fellow willing prisoner in the ivory tower (and that is far from impossible), I find it hard to understand how this poem would move her to a proper emotional response. Ah, well, let's not be too unkind. We may all be speaking in such abysmal ignorance of the ...

  • ()() Gewanter's *corpus* summarized as a limerick

    There once was a poet (Gewanter)Whose work was less passion than banter.His wife (nee Joy Young)Hoped his work would be ''sung'' --The girl should've married a cantor.
