    I write this with a frown
    But he really had to go down
    Accident though it was,
    I regret it because
    I missed seeing him around town.

    (eh)

    Still Trying to Get the Story Right

    There once was a dragon of old
    And a knight with a damsel to hold
    And some gold in a cave
    Since the dragon could save,
    But that’s all of the tale I was told.

    Limericks can be hard to compose
    They've a structure that's set, unlike prose
    You must write to the beat
    Fight temptation to cheat
    You've done well when, on reading, it flows
    You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi

    The train leaves at 2.02
    Don't hurry, don't scurry,
    Don't worry, don't flurry,
    Its a minute or two to two two.

    This is an old one, but I may have got it wrong...

    I think that should be

    There was an old lady from Crewe,
    Who hurried to catch the 2.2.
    Don't hurry or scurry
    Or worry or flurry,
    its a minute or two to 2.2

    There was a young man with his beer
    who called every skirt his own dear
    he drank and he drank
    and his own heart did sank
    he might make it though naught I would fear

    glargh ... this is SO difficult!!

    Kudos to all who can write THIS kind of poetry!!

    How about this, kiz:

    He'll drink and he'll drink
    And his own heart did sink

    He made it... with scars on the side of his face with the constant barrage of purse smackings...
