I find the fifth line a chore
*badum...* Y'know, no, this is so terrible, I will not finish the rimshot.
You're both sadist and poetic boor.
"...I can't think of a single word more."
And with that he walked out the door
My favourite language joke:
What's the difference between a cat and a comma?
One's got claws at the end of its paws, the other's a pause at the end of a clause
*fixed order
But a comma goes before the pause.
yeah doesn't even work with the classic joke format, in which the words switch places. I'm sure the joke should actually be:
one has claws at the end of its paws, one denotes a pause at the end of a clause.
Yes I did mix up the order of the words cause of poor sleep. Thanks for correcting

There once was a mute man from spain
Who loved traveling on planes
When ask what he thought
Of the brand new concord
He said
Not a limerick but I want to share my favorite pun joke
I once submitted ten puns to a pun contest, hoping one would win, but
No pun intended
I always thought that joke needs an actual pun in the first half so the "no pun intended" has a valid double meaning. I came up with:
I told the sad ghost ten puns to raise its spirits. No pun intendid.
It's word play.
No pun intended.
"No pun in ten did [win the contest]"
Yes I understand. It works spelled that way. But "no pun intended" doesn't work because there was no pun in the initial setup. In my version both meanings make sense
HA! Nice!
there’s really no need to say more
God fucking damn genius.
whose limericks stopped at line four
Bad rhythm. Should be “whose limericks would stop at line four”
That depends on whether you treat "limericks" as a trochee (long-short, i.e. "lim-ricks") or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. "lim-er-icks").
Egerlach, they once called this bard
Who'd school any with whom he did spar
Whether trochee or dactyl
word choice was impec'ble
master of prosody, unflappable.
Reminds me of an oldie:
“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”
Yes these kinds of works works best when you sing them like bards would. Just reading them as is is not as good. Or you can sing them like tenacious d (they got the bard style going on)
I knew it as
Roses are red.
Violets are blue
I hate rhyming.
Zebra
I will occasionally go out of my way to put together birthday cards etc for friends and family rather than buy something off the rack. One year I made this for my cousin:
Roses are red

Violets are too

I ran out of cyan
Happy birthday
There once was a bard from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When told this was so
He replied, 'Yes, I know"
"But I always try and fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can."
and then he said nothing more.
Not enough syllables
eh 7-10 in lines 1, 2, and 5. cold have been more consistent but its not like its a haiku. kind of ruins the joke to write a last line anyway
And this is the fifth line of four..
This one's great!
There was a young man from south bend
Whose limericks all came to an end
Suddenly
