When your stomach gets that pernickety
Beware a vowel movement limerickety!
Took her son to the zoo (twas unanimous).
She asked the zoo lord
Where the fauna was stored;
He said, "Up yours, dolt, here's your damned 'animus'"
Man, that took me a long time and it was pretty weak.
But not as weak (or as interesting) as the following:
A man with a case of the hiccoughs
Cleared snow from a road with a plough.
The job made him dough
So he said, with a cough
"Hold on a sec, none of this rhymes."
To acclaim your talents uncowed
By nit-picking rules
Which impede such jewels.
The best never follow the crowd.
Nice poem AnimaiL, though, I would have thought that through would have been included for puposes of inclusion.
One can be an exception without being exceptional, themilum.
We seem to have more people who take exception to the rules than we have rules or rulers.
It's a good thing we've got your self-annointed judgeship to sort it all out for us. :)
re "the best that was thrown out of the crowd?"
Who was it who first quipped "I've been thrown out of better joints than this!". Probably Groucho Marx.

The Marx Bros. - "Horse Feathers"
There's a knock at the door. Baravelli opens the peephole.
Baravelli: Who are you?
Wagstaff: I'm fine, thanks. Who are you?
Baravelli: I'm fine too, but you can't come in unless you give the password.
Wagstaff: Well, what is the password?
Baravelli: Oh no, you gotta tell me! (pause) Hey, I tell you what I do...I give you three guesses...It's the name of a fish...
Wagstaff: Is it Mary?
Baravelli: Ha, ha! Atsa no fish!
Wagstaff: She isn't? Well, she drinks like one. Let me see...Is it sturgeon?
Baravelli: Hey, you're crazy! A sturgeon, he's a doctor cuts you open whena you sick. Now I give you one more chance.
Wagstaff: I got it! Haddock!
Baravelli: Atsa funny, I gotta haddock too.
Wagstaff: What do you take for a haddock?
Baravelli: Well now, sometimes I take aspirin, sometimes I takea calomel.
Wagstaff: Say, I'd walk a mile for a calomel.
Baravelli: You mean chocolate calomel. I like that too, but you no guess it. (Slams door. Wagstaff knocks again. Baravelli opens the peephole again.) Hey, whatsa matta? You no understand English? You can't come in here unless you say swordfish! Now, I give you one more guess....

Thanks, I wonder if the Marx routine originated in vaudeville as well?
Who could possibly entertain doubt?
He'll drink to first place
Then the rest of the place
'Til his judgeship annoits himself out.
