How I got Lai'd on a poetry site




Well this is how it happend.....
Can't wait to tell my friends....

I read an erotic poem (please don't tell mother!)
and one thing led to another
and then a woman laying naked surrounded by rose petals
somehow began"Encouraging" me on form and meter and sylables
and then it happened
with a simple tug on my labido (uh..pen)
I fell into a bottomless pit and heard this voice calling
Lay....Lay Lady Lay....
Yoooo Hooo!!!  Lay Lady Lay
Hmmm Bob Dylan...

Oh....she was saying Lai
Lai- a simple poem that uses the same rhymes and
a syllabic count of 5-5-3 repeated 3 times
OK...you've been had
Now I know my audience is in the gutter!
But, then again, I had that feeling all along.

I do wonder whom this one is penned in for! LOL
Gezzz See what trouble I seem to get into trying to tech you a pattern.
But I see you haven’t learned yet! LOL

It is a syllabic count of 5-5-2 <<repeated 3 times. I’m sure this is a typo…

run and fix before you get my class confused! Giggles
YOU think you are sooo funny dontcha? Just for this you are assigned a Limerick poem!
And it’s due by tomorrow! LMBO!

A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form, originally popularized in English by Edward Lear. Limericks are frequently witty or humorous, and sometimes obscene with humorous intent.

The following example of a limerick is of anonymous origin:

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Gershon Legman, who compiled the largest and most scholarly anthology, held that the true limerick, as a folk form, is always obscene, and cites (x-xi) similar opinions by Arnold Bennett and George Bernard Shaw, describing the clean limerick as a periodic fad and object of magazine contests, rarely rising above mediocrity. That is to say, from a folkloric point of view, the form is essentially transgressive; violation of taboo is part of its function.

Form
A limerick has five lines, with three metrical feet in the first, second, and fifth lines and two metrical feet in the third and fourth lines. A variety of types of metrical foot can be used, but the most typical are the amphibrach (a stressed syllable between two unstressed syllables) and the anapaest (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable). The rhyme scheme is usually AABBA.

The first line of a limerick traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and therefore establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. In early limericks, the last line was often essentially a repeat of the first line, although this is no longer customary.

Within the genre, ordinary speech stress is often distorted in the first line, and may be regarded as a feature of the form: "There WAS a young MAN from the COAST;" "There ONCE was a GIRL from DeTROIT..." Legman (xliv) takes this as a convention whereby prosody is violated simultaneously with propriety. Exploitation of geographical names, especially exotic ones, is also common, and has been seen as invoking memories of geography lessons in order to subvert the decorum taught in the schoolroom; Legman finds that the exchange of limericks is almost exclusive to comparatively well-educated males (women figuring in limericks almost exclusively as "villains or victims," according to Legman). The most prized limericks incorporate a kind of twist, which may be revealed in the final line, or may lie in the way the rhymes are often intentionally tortured, or both.

Many limericks additionally show some form of internal rhyme, alliteration or assonance, or some element of wordplay. Some examples exploit the strict form of the limerick to lead the listener into expecting a particular conclusion, particularly one that would be obscene or shocking, and then derive humour from cunningly avoiding the expected words:

There once was a lady from Bude
Who went swimming one day in the lake.
A man in a punt
Stuck his pole in the water
And said "You can't swim here--it's private."
Verses in limerick form are sometimes combined with a refrain to form a limerick song, a traditional humorous drinking song often with obscene verses.

There once was a salesman from Kentucky
whose teeth earned him the nickname of Bucky
He much loved to bathe and shower
suspiciously so, for hour upon hour
He was last seen sheepishly nibbling his Rubber Ducky

If this salesman from Kentucky
Stopped nibbling on his rubber ducky
Maybe his teeth wouldn’t appear so" Bucky"
Bathe and shower upon hours and hours?
Where ever does he fine the time?
This salesperson sales are down far as I can see
Perhaps is he in the car industry??
