Godawful Poetry
I was bored on the train the other day. Someone should have stopped me before I resorted to writing limericks.
“There was a delusional bullfrog,
Which believed that it was a Balrog.*
It tried to breathe flame,
But just looked real lame,
So now it just hides in the marsh fog.”
“There once was a wizard named Snape,
Who wore all his robes like a cape.
They billowed as he walked,
Impressed when he talked,
Left the frightened first-years all agape.”
“There once was a Sith Lord name Vader
Who was a confirmed Jedi-hater.^
He was really frightening
Thoguh he had no Force-lightning
– Instead he just used his lightsaber.”
And now a couple of challenges, people:
A) Write your own pop-culture-inclusive limerick
B) Finish the limerick below:
“There once was a wonderful Time Lord
Who, now and then, just got so bored
He dropped into his memories
Of a young lady named Emrys
[INSERT LINE HERE]”
*A fictional creature from the Lord of the Rings universe.
^Vader doesn’t hate Jedi, he feels superior, but hell, this rhymes better.

A dashing young Jedi name Luke
Blew the Death Star to bits with a nuke
We all know, of course,
He put faith in The Force
But the doubters still call it a fluke!

I won’t contribute, as I lack the mental power necessary for rhyme and meter, but good job.
