Gluestick Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 We seem to be drifting away from classic limerick.Much more fun if the scansion is good!Sorry to be pedantic.[blink]Definition:Limerick:Has five lines; lines one, two, and five each have exactly three metric feet while lines three and four each have exactly two metric feet. The metric feet must be anapests ( da da DUM ), although the leading foot of each line may be an iamb ( da DUM), and the last foot of each line may have a trailing unaccented syllable ( da da DUM da). The classic Limerick is consistent in the use of iambs and trailing unaccented syllables, but this is not mandatory in recreational Limericks. Lines one, two, and five must rhyme, while lines three and four must rhyme Examples:There was a small boy of QuebecWho was buried in snow to his neckWhen they said, "Are you friz?"He replied, " Yes, I is —But we don't call this cold in Quebec" Rudyard Kipling Our novels get longa and longaTheir language gets stronga and strongaThere’s much to be saidFor a life that is ledIn illiterate places like BongaH.

Wells An angry young husband called BicketSaid: "Turn yourself round and I’ll kick itYou have painted my wifeIn the nude to the lifeDo you think, Mr Greene, it was cricket?"John Galsworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
