Rett's Bullshit

There once was a Texan called Rett
his bullshit you could not forget
he called himself me
making complexity
and causing eternal regret

It lacks all of Retts

It lacks all of Retts charms, and frill. Although properly adorned and true to a wierdelf. Don't make me stand up for my Paw. I see his stamp of acknowledgment. Does not mean I appreaciate the lack of love or implied content. Frienemys are needed, but please. He at least deserves a second verse, lol. Just my unwanted thoughts on yet another confusing write, Julie D.D.

well, i HAVE to respond to this comment... 2 limericks my grandmother taught me as a child (yes...my grandmother!) There was young man from Leeds who swallowed a packet of seeds Great tufts of grass shot out of his arse and his cock was covered in weeds. ..................... There once was a boy called Derkin who was always jerkin' his gherkin His mother said "Derkin! stop jerkin' yer gherkin, yer gherkin's fer ferkin' not jerkin'!"

despite being humourous, limerick is a strict form

A little weird elf was not

A little weird elf was not too impressed with his self so he picked and he prodded and off he went with a gent from Kent named Rett, and that's why the world's a little bit off the cuff with two diamonds in the ruff. Polishing. All we need is some polishing to bring out the shine in rhyme, make it sublime for dreamtime. ~A "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ A Course In Miracles

Hey! I am very impressed with myself!

To quote my hero, Gough Whitlam "Yes, I'm arrogant, but I've earned the right to be" where the fell did Kent come from? And this in no way resembles a limerick. Yet there is inherent poetic truth, Rett and I do sometimes smooth our rough edges, when not engaged in gun play! teehee Cheers, Jess, “The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue.” Emma Goldman

I challenge you. Roscoe

Write a good limerick. it's not so easy, a very strict form. Has to fit form and be insightfully funny. Go for one! Try it! Bet you can't even come close to some of the best limericks on Neopoet.

Roscoe, you miss the point

I'm starting to wonder about how smart you are. Limericks are a brilliant cleverley constructed form, children can't do them well. Try writing a good onee then comment again. Cheers, Jess, “The political arena leaves one no alternative, one must either be a dunce or a rogue.” Emma Goldman

Thanks, Jess. I guess we both like the fun in creating limericks. My all-time favourite (not mine, unfortunately): On the breasts of a barmaid from Crail Were tattooed all the prices of ale And on her behind, for the sake of the blind, Was the same information in Braille Kindest Regards Ian

last word? you really need to try again

And frankly I don't understand the vindictive. All my limericks here were cheeky pokes at friends with no malice whatever. You write good poetry, why not try a new form without deriding others who have fun with it> You demean yourself with spite.

A perspective

I once mentioned that I "wrote this from my colon so would not change a thing." It was an, I believed, obvious satirical parody of people who refuse to consider changes to their work because they "wrote it from the heart." Yet, I had someone try to expose me for a fraud merely because they were not smart enough to understand obvious satire. If the issue had not been escalated to the AEC I would hot have cared. But people are stupid, not me, of course, I am special, and stupid people make a fuss over things they should not and people who have better things to do have to get involved to resolve the issue. Your postscript provides a shortcut against any future complaint, not for you, but for whoever is on the AEC when someone decides "Jess attacked someone, so will I." --Jonathan Annoying the world, one person at a time (Group discounts available)

Had to add my own little lymerick

There is a weird little aussie elf who is defiantly full of himself but he has put in the time, and is entitled to his rhyme while showing us to laugh at one's self He sends us to reaction like the main attraction trying to self amuse and borderline abuse but as always it is only his distraction So we play it out prolonged and add to the funny song learning to let it be there is plenty of fish in the sea hoping one day we will all just get along OK, not my funniest lymerick. But very amusing to me. All in good fun of coarse, these comments have provided tons of amusment. I couldn't resist writing my own lymerick, how did it turn out Jess. All. Julie D.D.

Loved it!

but just got to say, not strict limerick form. Perhaps it is one of the things that atracts me to Limericks, the form, meter and scansion are very strict, which perhaps provides counterpoint to the humour.

Me too! A limerick (of sorts) to Jess and Rett:

There were two men, bearded and wild, who could each behave like a child, when one of them started, the other one farted, the stink wasn't exactly mild! With a wink of an eye and tongue in cheek to my beloved friends: Jess, Rett, here's to you! Limericks are not exactly my forte, hope this one is okish. But it was written with lots of love and from the heart ;) Yours, ~Nina
