BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5248 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	a thorough search in the Hague proved the threadfin is rather vague for all sorts of fishes turned up at my wishes so the naming may be a mistague. MOOSE - MUSTARD (are you using some kind of book ?)

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10462 Loc: this too shall pass	beck has suggested that we start a new thread: Sparteye's Limerick Game. but we might as well continue to play with the concept here before we splinter off. where's our new pair, beck?

tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10462 Loc: this too shall pass	should we require use of "the target words as the A and B of your rhyme scheme", as in the last couple of entries (perhaps reverse lines 3 and 4 of beck's). should we follow the typical limerick form; i.e., one slightly risque sentence, as in beck's last? these 'impositions' prolly makes things that much more difficult, but.

beck123 addict Registered: 02/22/10 Posts: 655 Loc: Florida, USA	I say we leave it loose on this thread. Maybe others will be inspired - we already have a few good takers. We can set new, obnoxiously difficult rules if we open another thread. Oops. The new words are... GRINGO - GRONINGEN _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

Avy old hand Registered: 06/23/00 Posts: 724	Please do not set rules on scansion. Limericks scan, I think, as lines 1,2,5 in tetrameter and 3,4 in trimeter (iambic). That is way way way too much work. If I put in so much work and I will want to frame the limerick in gold and put it up on my wall. Edited by Avy (02/24/10 09:07 PM)

From Dallas to Groningen He made us all groan again, And here's his new limerick. Bingo! DEATHBED - DECADE _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.
