A lim’rick I saw on a blog,
No—not about Katie the dog.
So neat is that verse,
Although it is terse,
It had me just reading agog!
The fellow who wrote it is neither
A poet, a prosist, nor healer.
Comic books are his game,
Striking the series’ name.
It’s called the Elephant Eater.
Herewith a link to the Elephant Eater website. The referenced limerick, however, appeared on Patio Boat as a comment. I can never read a limerick without being tempted to write one. That's why they proliferate.
One limerick has now become three
ReplyDeleteSpawning faster than rabbits you see
Prolific as tribbles
Then scattered like kibble
First Ryan, then Arsen, now me.
Three is a kind of a seal, the magic of which we just feel.
ReplyDeleteA fourth one can't top it, no needle can pop it
Therefore this last line just sort of drips its hardening wax to the floor.
