The Impossible Limerick

[designadrug]

There was a dumb slut from near Orange,
who refused to take care of her minge;
it grew and it grew
right down to her shoe
to see it she'd charge you two Florins.

Okay... now think about it.

Phew, thanks for heading this one off.

Well, it doesn't rhyme for one thing... ^^;

[designadrug]

Yes it does. Thats the whole point. Rhymes are phonetic, not alphabetic.

[kunoichi_chan]

"Orange", "minge" and "Florins" don't rhyme the way I say them. They almost do, but not quite...

Or-inge (two syllables)
Minge (needs another syllable beforehand)
Flor-ins (the ending syllable is different)

Orins and Florins, or Orange and Florange, or Ringe and Minge, or Oringe and Ominge.

But then I guess it depends on each person's pronunciation of the words and how well they enunciate the words. ^_^

[designadrug]

I have a GCE in Spoken English (Language) from the University of Oxford. So I guess it does depend on which form of English or its bastardisations one uses.

As for it "not rhyming" thanks for your generous support of my efforts in at least trying to find one, rather than mindlessly accepting what orthodoxy dictates.

You may note that your initial criticism was completely destructive and not at all constructive. I recall that when faced with a similar attitude from a certain livejournal troll, I went in to bat for you. Not ignoring my post took an effort and a conscious decision on your part to deride my creativity and sense of humour. You could have done nothing but instead chose to put in the boot. Just like that littel troll. Thanks
