Limericks, Nr.02 — Five Limericks from Poet-Land
Compulsive
The poet was up in the night
compelled like a madman to write
and when he had finished
he lay down and grimaced
“well such is the poet’s delight”.
Almost
The poem was suitably long
with language both clever and strong
it told a great story
which flowed pulsatory
until the last stanza went wrung.
Panned
The poet was panned by the critics
their comments abstruse and enclitic
for those who have failed
at what artists have nailed
leave legacies rank and mephitic
Poetics
Poetic devices when blundered
make poems seem painting-by-numbers
original taste
is skewered, disgraced
and thunder of wonder is plundered.
On Stage
The poet had terrible diction
which prompted some audience friction
he mumbled his words
and swallowed his verbs
his throat in a nervous constriction
