After Edward Lear...

Current mood: Rhymical
Current music: A cappella tunes

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your comments on my last post. As there did not seem to be any kind of consensus on which blog entry was the best, there will be no 'winning blog entry'. I shall just have to satisfy myself with the saying, 'it's different strokes for different folks', and keep churning out blog entries in whichever style that best suits my mood at the time.

It seems that my fellow blogger AKR has somehow misunderstood my last post and is now expecting a prize of some description. Not being one to disappoint, I have written him a limerick. In fact, I've generously decided to limericise everyone who left a comment on that post to date. So here goes!

****************************************

AKR

A splendid young blogger called AKR - 'e
Requested a pineapple daiquiri.
The drink (mostly rum)
Did strange things in his tum,
And conjured up visions of fakir-y.

****************************************

(And yes, AKR, I have managed to figure out your name from your blog, but I thought your initials would be more fun to try and rhyme...)

****************************************

LOUISE

Lovely Louise said one day,
'I have all the vowels but "a"!'
With words she played 'round
Till an answer was found:
But 'Elouisa' is harder to say.

****************************************

JONO

A talented tunesmith named Jono
Aspired to be greater than Bono.
His grand, complex sound
Surpassed mere 'surround'
And humbled all 'stereo' to 'mono'.

****************************************

CLARAJEAN

A clever young girl, Clarajean,
In a bookshop was frequently seen.
When asked why she's so smart,
She replied, 'It's the art
Of reading the lines in between!'

****************************************

And finally, because I was so inspired by Louise's comments on her stolen cheese, I present this double limerick:

****************************************

CHEESE, LOUISE!

'Someone's been moving my cheese!'
Complained my dear friend Louise.
'So I wrote an epistle
Which threatened that gristle
Would spoil his mashed taters and peas.'

'Take it easy!' said I, 'Look around -
Are you sure that's the culprit you've found?'
But my fears were un-feared
When a New Cheese appeared
At a speed that would greatly astound.

****************************************

I hope y'all liked that! And for those of you who didn't leave a comment - just look at what you missed out on! If you do leave comments from now on, you might get another chance to be limericised, one of these days...
