Philips the poet,
Affectedly delicate
Was, trés refined.

Pope, who would swipe at him
Contemporaneously,
Thrived in the sunshine
Of the spotless mind.

I love this, ASp - you seem to do it effortlessly! The constraints (if I understand them aright) are a bit more complex in some ways that limericks. I've posted a poor stab at one, with fitting modesty hiding it below the fold to not impinge on anyone's enjoyment :)

Mav, I love your coinage above. Yes, double-dactyls do take a bit more effort than limericks...

For those who don't normally venture "below the fold" (which is below "Looking for..." by the way), I strongly suggest y'all take a gander [sic] at Animal Safari.
