re: #117 buzzsawmonkey

The Limerick is not quite the lowest form of poetry. The ill-rhymed Limerick with bad scansion is the lowest form of poetry.

As to shame…no, not a lot. As I observed yesterday, I ration that.

I’m awfully sorry, and it pains me deeply that I ahve to say this, especially since I do so admire your poetry - but that wasn’t a proper Limerick.

Sorry.

A proper Limerick must always contain a place name!

Like:
‘A Latina from Mexico City
thought she was wise and so witty.
She dished out the law,
as fit as she saw,
that lawgirl from Mexico City.’
