Bill http://www.thedonovan.com 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...)

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! 2007-02-26T09:04:06Z 2007-02-26T09:04:06Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2007://1.7186-comment:57125 Comment from BillT on 2007-02-25 BillT http://www.thedonovan.com *Ten* years of therapy?

SugarButtons vs. StudMuffin, if you get my drift. And by the way, you aren't the only one subject to flashbacks, you inconsiderate mortal.
