Clio Meets Carborundum

By Bill on February 25, 2007 | | Comments (8)

Neffi, inspired by the Serial Thriller, has been visited by Clio, Muse of Limericks -- to wit:

A Frog driver has killed all our pot-
I demand Cap'n Bill Tuttle be shot!
You'll have piasters galore,
Or bikes; we have more-
He's torqued me off, I kid you not.

Not to be outdone, Carborundum, Guardian Angel (j.g.) and Muse of Nomex™, has inspired me to reply:

At Krak Argghhh! I ain't really high caste --
I compose all my posts in great haste.
But no one can refute
That the gurls think I'm cute
(There's just *no* accounting for taste...)

*snugging 27-inch zipper against 40-knot gusts*

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled posts.

Huh. I didn't know caste and haste rhymed...

When your 27" zipper is in 40 knots, a dictionary may not be accessable. Cheers

Pronounce it with a North Jersey accent. In Jerzese, I can get "Newark" and "snerk" to rhyme...

They don't think you're cute, Tuttle. They think you are amusing. SugarButtons vs. StudMuffin, if you get my drift. And by the way, you aren't the only one subject to flashbacks, you inconsiderate mortal. Ten years of therapy down the tubes ...

*Ten* years of therapy? Back in your straitjacket, chum -- last week, Frumious said you'd gone circular on step three of that twelve-stepper selenium withdrawal program...

Sorry, Neffi, they really don't scan. Too many syllables. The Limerick really is a very strict, rigid form. Maybe you shoulda done some polishing and editing before you posted. Not that *I* would do anything like that!

Don't worry , Neff -- he had the same comment about Ogden Nash's stuff...
