There once was a girl from Texas, Whose thumbs were ex-treme-ely dextrous. She'd unhook the phone, And stay home alone, Practising solo amplexus.

Hopefully she was over the toilet. Let see? I have not used stupid in awhile. Weak comedy. Yes, that should do.

I think that your writing this for a biology assignment was fantastic. A classic.

"Weak Comedy"? It's a LIMMERICK, man... what did you expect?

If you wish to specify that 'extremely' should be pronounced with four syllables, you could simply add a grave accent as so: 'extrem??ly'.

Or not, as the case may be. A grave accent, as I'm sure you know, is a diagonal line from top left to bottom right. Pop it over the 'e' you want to be pronounced. I think it displays properly in poems, although clearly not in comments.

I have seem many LIMERICKS, as you like to refer to them as, posted on this site which made me guffaw with pleasure, unfortunately this was child's play. I did not laugh, I did not cry I just sat there and wondered why his girly thinks it classic when it is nothing more than shite.

What I'm more interested in is why, if "razorgrin" and "Shin-Bojangles" are "seeing each other", "razorgrin" felt the need to gush all over this poem in a public place.

Enough is never enough. There's nothing wrong with having a theme.

I never said anything about the theme. I was merely analyzing the merits of a LIMERICK that was making an attempt at humor. Besides the poets peeps and, of course, the razorgirl, and maybe even Bachus, if his mother watching Letterman and he has had a few would find this the least bit interesting.

Damnation! My riviting words of wisdom keep showing up in the wrong places... That "enough" stuff was supposed to be somewhere else, somewhere much less phallic. Anyway, what I was TRYING to say back THEN is that you people are really awful. No good. That's about the gist of it, anyway.

you're right, I did want to look up amplexus. Though I have trouble seeing the girl as a frog. I like the stretch of ex-treme-ely. :)
