Animus is an odium state of mind
Wishing someone a diriment unkind.
A presentism hack
Is always looking back
To repine on old sins left behind.
* Revised in response to valued criticism from AnimiaL. Thx. A-L.
Going for the bicycle, AnimiaL. :)
Thanks for the "polish" on "diriment". Good one.
[I hope themilum is watching. I'm hoping to get the good bottle to finish the week. But if he has to award too many more bottles this week, it might finish him off for good.]
AnimiaL has advised quite correctly and discreetly that my limerick is stretching the meter rules in Lines 1, 2 and 5.
Hey, he's got me there.* [So I'll go back and see if I can fix it. I'm tryin' to score my first bicycle with themilum. :) ]
Just in case themilum doesn't like my bike, I offer this Pabst Blue Ribbon variation for "animus":
Animus animus animus
Why must there be so much animus!
Animus is great
If you're just into hate
But we could use more animus intellimus.
