Limericks 1

Something I used to do, but don’t do now so often, is Limerick writing. This is odd as it is something I enjoy and therefore should do more of

The other day, someone I follow on twitter due to some politicalo pinions, posted about trying to rhyme “orange” Which caused me to tweet the following 2 updates:

When you are writing a rhyme,
there’s no point in wasting your time
  finding forced rhymes for orange,
  Will just make us all cringe,
and are considered a linguistic crime

Then today Dave Gibbons posted that it was Limerick day and wondered if anyone could tweet one in less than 140 characters, and was then gracious enough to retweet my effort:

limericks ought 2B rude,
& civil language eschewed,
  but the letter limit,
  allowed per twit,
still lets you be fucking crude

As with most Limericks, there’s a certain advantage to hearing them rather than seeing them written down, but its still fun
