Poem (ok, limerick) Thread

[Flustor]

with a wiggle of his bum

[barrk]

Parksie stuck in his thumb

[mendhak]

And yelled, "Hey, don't blame me!"

[JPicasso]

There was a frog named "timely"

[Shaggy Hiker]

Who played with himself quite sublimely.

[Bonker Gudd]

When he stuck in his thumb

[Q_Me]

for which it was dumb

[mendhak]

He said, "Help me!" real kindly.

[mendhak]

A dog and a cat in a pen

[dglienna]

snuck out of the den

[mendhak]

For a romp in the hay

[damasterjo]

for a quick short stay

[mendhak]

And an fowl orgy with a hen.




That was terrible. Someone do better.

[sevenhalo]

But alas, the cat Bob Barker did spay

[mendhak]

Turned to be flamingly gay

Guys, do remember the limerick metrum please:

Structure
The rhyme scheme is usually aabba, with a rather rigid meter. The first, second, and fifth lines are three metrical feet; the third and fourth two metrical feet. The foot used is usually the amphibrach, a stressed syllable between two unstressed ones. However it can be considered an anapestic foot, two short syllables and then a long, the reverse of dactyl rhythm. However, many substitutions are common.

The first line traditionally introduces a person and a location, and usually ends with the name of the location, though sometimes with that of the person. A true limerick is supposed to have a kind of twist to it. This may lie in the final line, or it may lie in the way the rhymes are often intentionally tortured, or in both. Though not a strict requirement, the best limericks are usually those that additionally show some form of internal rhyme, often alliteration, sometimes assonance or another form of rhyme.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
