The Ire of the Irish
Poetry Contest Description
Write an angry limerick
So, in my creative writing class, we were instructed to write a limerick. I already knew what a limerick was, but this one was special: he asked us specifically to make the limerick very hateful. The limerick often is a hateful form of poetry, probably because it was invented by the Irish (I'm not hatin' 
). So I want to hear your absolutely most spiteful limerick ever.
For those who don't know what a limerick is, it's best defined by its length and rhyme scheme. It is one stanza of five lines, with a rhyme scheme of aabba.
Here's MY example:
Her eyes once shined with good luck,
But now she just fricking sucks,
And with every day,
She drives farther away,
I hope she hits head on with a truck.
Like I said--HATEFUL. As a matter of fact, the MOST hateful limerick will win this competition. Due to this requirement, for once, I WILL permit vulgarity. Just keep it to a minimum.
PS: I cannot guarantee the next time I'll be online, so be patient for feedback.

Just kidding! Interesting, concept..if anything, this form tends to impart more twisted, 'tongue-in-cheek' humor--'naughty', if anything!
Perhaps, i shall return for this one, after all!

A limerick is not generally hateful, as such - more of an exposing of the foibles of being human...
For those of you who like to scoff
when poetic clothes I sometimes doff
Your mind's evil's disclosed
when my soul is exposed
So I'll ask you to kindly Fuck Off

There once was a man from Nantucket
A good guy and yet still a fuckhead
I called him a fag
He said kiss my ass
No my good sir but I'll punch it
i almost didn't bother submitting this but i think it's kinda funny so...

Love the entries guys. I would like to put a word of advice out though: in order to force the last line to rhyme with the first two, it's best to make lines three and four APPROXIMATELY half as many syllables as 1, 2, and 5.
