π€£ How have I only just learned there is such a thing as National Bad Poetry Day?!
Today I will write you a limerick if you give me a word of up to four syllables.
Because is there any form more delightfully, satisfyingly terrible than the limerick?
ππ»π As per our conversation the other day about the inevitability of imitation...
--
There once was a hapless recidivist
with exceptional skill as a plagiarist--
He'd try to go straight
but all too soon replicate
every other writer striving for distinctiveness.
π My first thought was to rhyme "recidivist" with "sit on this", so - fair. Do post away! The day is for us all.
Kate met a recidivist
They began a week-long tryst
It was a trap
He had the Clap
She wound up with a cyst
(I warned you ...)
π€£ Okay, for that, you now get my original plan, before I decided to take the higher, more "intellectual" ground:
Once a randy young man made a fist
and told his sweet lover, "Sit on this."
A crime against physics?
Well, I won't get into specifics...
But in time they'd be frequent recidivists.

@MLClark A new round ... The word is "Organian" ... Me first:
There once was a clever Organian
His ears made him look Vulcanian
When the Klingons attacked
Their passports he hacked
To make them all Canadian. π¨π¦ π€£ π€£ π€£
π That's either a proto-Organian or one on diplomatic mission, on account of its corporeality at all, but fair enough! We accept all ridges and ear-types up north!

There once was an errant Organian
who longed for the means to feel pain again--
but when push came to shove
in the body it had taken hold of,
it rushed back to its life as a light-ray-dian. :)
@MLClark I came up with one but, in the grand tradition of limericks, it was far dirtier ...
Back to your paying customers.
