The Artisan Poet Society is up and running.
This was a good try from Fellow Member, but see below!
(Maybe it was written as a Poem....not a Limerick?)
A limerick is a short, humorous, often ribald or nonsense poem, especially one in five-line anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme scheme (AABBA), which is sometimes obscene with humorous intent
There was an artisan called the cadet
To play good golf he needed a tablet
If he missed his pill boy was he ill
He may have had as well played croquet
Can you guess this man from this tale
His putting so great his holy grail
But he played at a pace he left a trail
Yes you've guessed the one and only snail
KEEP EM COMING LADS!
The limerick with me as subject does work and is indeed a limerick, it's just that the 3rd line needs to be split into 2 thus:
ReplyDeleteIf he missed his pill
Boy was he ill
The 2nd poem could be rejigged to limerick form I'm sure, but could work anyway
Great poets can utilise free verse, they know the rules of structure etc but can bend them to suit, it's part of our licence!
Oh and of course the poetical licence rhyming of a mispronounced "croquet"
