I haven't an idea even dim
Of what a "fike" is, tsuwm
But whatever it is
You will make it your biz
To approve it or not, and that's grim.

Amended with assistance from tsuwm.

That not only doesn't scan, tsuwm doesn't begin to rhyme with glim/scrim. (said with one syllable it rhymes with zoom, as two syllables it sounds like sue 'em.

Furthermoreover, a scrim isn't usually a person, and to glim means (slangily) to look at -- were you thinking of glom or grok?

HTH.

Thanks for your helpful criticism, tsuwm. I have amended my limerick [see above] in the hope that you will find it more agreeable.

<sigh> you would seem to be clueless regarding scansion.
not to worry though, you seem to be well-suited to having no clue at all. <grin>
