Roger, roger.

Bob –

I agree, it’s not “easy to do it”;
I know many writers who blew it.
I think we could say
Allen showed, in his way,
That it’s terribly “easy to screw it.”

So true, so true. Quod erat demonstrandum. It speaks for itself, as intended. :cool:

Let limericks scan as they like,
said an ignorant postmodern tyke.
He then implicated
that metre was dated,
so I skewered him through with my pike

A limerick ought to be sleazy,
Degraded, offensive, not cheesy,
But be of good cheer.
There's nothing to fear.
Tice tells us that writing them's easy.

You guys are my teachers and much better than me. Always have been.

With artists who are his superiors,
There will be great heads and posteriors,
Tice wants to butt in,
But his works are so thin,
They cringe out of sight as inferiors.

Duh.

Allen Tice 04-25-2020 12:19 PM

An eraser should not be despiséd.
When Beethoven wrote he reviséd.
As we listen today
I think we can say
His first thoughts were best thoughts disguiséd.
