The Weekly World News as a Limerick #5

[peadarog]

I apologise to the multitudes who have been anxiously awaiting my next post. I bet you were both very worried about me. It couldn't be helped. I've been working so hard of late at the day job, that I have RSI in my whipping arm. The company are either going to have to give me some quality time off or get me some healthier slaves than these cretins

Lol. Ear, ear :)

Now get back to work, those slaves won't whip themselves you know.

[peadarog]

Yes, sir, at once sir!

Heheh!

SO jealous about Worldcon! :) Make sure you live it up for the rest of us too.

[peadarog]

Thanks. I will take my responsibility to have a good time very, very seriously. So, rest easy :-)

Ha! You're funny. I like you!

Limericks are political satire's greatest venue. Want to see my all time favorite Limerick? Written by my son when he was 17.

There once was a Nazi named Lewis
His hair blond, his eyes kind of bluish
The red band on his arm
Caused such shock and alarm
When he realized his grandma was Jewish.

That's pretty cool! The best limericks are the ones with the hardest rhymes, in my opinion. "Bluish" is a great word to get in there.

I love Limericks. I've only heard humorous or satirical ones. I wonder...are there sentimental Limericks? I can't even imagine it!

[peadarog]

I'm sure there are sentimental ones, but the fact is, a fast little rhyme lends itself more to humour than emotion.

Sorry have you been away? LOL
Have fun at the con mate.........where's my BOOK!

In reply to your first statement -- thanks!
In reply to your second statement -- keep checking, you scoundrel :)

[eldritchhobbit]

Yay for the fast-approaching WorldCon!

And applause for your very fine limerick.
