Limericks / Not only untitled

I like the idea, but it would work better if the incomplete line were the last line of the limerick as this is normally the punchline.  Secondly, I find the rhymes a little weak and the syllable counts are off.  You might argue this is intentional and meant to be part of the humour, but it doesn’t work for me.

“it would work better if the incomplete line were the last line”

As opposed to what?

What was I thinking?  I owe you for that one.   My mistake.

Your notes to the reviewer didn’t help me out very much. A bit vague. I’m guessing that the write was simply a poem. The under-lying thought is clever, although I do think that this poem should’ve been better when considering it’s age. Not bad, though somewhat confusing. Until next rhyme. JW

Considering its age? It’s not a fucking wine. I’m sorry you were confused.

Hahaha!  Is this Catastrophe? (sorry if not!)  Very funny.  The rhythm is questionable, but not ridiculously so.  It is a ridiculous limerick, though – in a good way.  Keep it up!

Great job – Hey, I was reviewing “A what?” (the palindromedary limerick) last night when urbis timed out & I had to quit.  That was great!  It’s going in my favourites.  I like your style!

Yeah. It fell down on me, too. I was sad. But I did get more sleep. :)

Thanks for the accolades.

That’s okay… Robert Frost had lots of ‘unfinished’ poems, too.  (My favorite is “Let chaos storm!/Let cloud shapes swarm!/I wait for form.”)  Perhaps you should try to develop obsessive-compulsive disorder so you can’t leave a piece of writing alone until it is finished. :)

I’m becoming oddly fond of your disjointed limericks…

Some say the poem will end in fire, some say in ice. Some say George R. R. Martin totally ripped Frost off. :)

So…”oddly fond”. Like a fetish, you mean?

omg…i know this person! lol…

I thought this was witty and cute. Could be a great start to something longer… but it makes the point.

But if it was longer, it wouldn’t make the point. ;)
