My mother said it would need TWO limericks, and I disagreed. Badgods.com has famous poems redone as limericks. I just emailed this to the webmaster there:
Odysseus’ yarn, spun by Homer
Made much of the sea-wily roamer
Penelope’s suitors
All ended as neuters
So his bad ass rep was no misnomer
Wow. Wow again. Captures the entire story, AND it scans. Impressive.
two, two, two mints in one!
Indeed. Next up, Casey at the Bat – Or Maybe the Waste Land
Okay, Here’s my first crack at the WasteLand. Casey ended up getting killed in the stadium parking lot, so I gave it up as a bad job.
Sterility, Eliot fusses
Is not just venereal musses
All civilization
needs fertilization
and that’s all the you’s me’s and us’s.
It’s amaazing what a few minutes of quiet contemplation in the john can do. I’m off to exercise…maybe I’ll take another whack at Casey later.
Another whack? He’s already dead in the parking lot!
