Silly Billy

I don't wish to spoil your fun, but this definition may keep posters on the right track.

A limerick is a humourous verse of five anapestic (short, short, long syllables) lines, of which the first, second, and fifth have three accents (last syllable), and rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth have two accents and rhyme with each other..

The sample limerick from the 4th post by amb141 is reproduced here.

Here is a classic limerick as an example:

There was an old man of Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing
It said on the door
`Don't spit on the floor'
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.




Oops! I took the time to read the first couple of pages of this thread. I see that the rhyming scheme and metre have been fully explained. My apologies to the poets who have been faithful to the definition. I'm not as talented as they are.

The ides of March are almost here

Suze
03-14-2005, 07:28 PM
The soothsayer's warning to Julius Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March," has forever imbued that date with a sense of foreboding. But in Roman times the expression "Ides of March" did not necessarily evoke a dark mood—it was simply the standard way of saying "March 15." Surely such a fanciful expression must signify something more than merely another day of the year? Not so. Even in Shakespeare's time, sixteen centuries later, audiences attending his play Julius Caesar wouldn't have blinked twice upon hearing the date called the Ides.
