I betray myself, as usual

Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den
just another one of those language curiosities found by my friends at juegosdeingenio.org (Spanish only). Fortunately there was an English translation in Wikipedia.

Limerick? Clearly I need to learn the definition of a limeric.
Can't wait for you to do a Wiki Haiku! XD

p.s I visited teh website but was now a few days ago and can't remember if I understood it or not... oi, estoy mur cansada y tonta. Pero, es muy bueno porque tengo mucho el chocolat.

that was MEANT to be muy cansada. I can make typos in all languages.

Well, Tams, let's just say that I wasn't able to remember a few concepts like "metrical feet" when I wrote those lines. Though its translation makes a lot more sense:

There was a young 'pedia called Wiki
whose great store of facts made her picky
in trouble she got
for copyright sought
and Wiki's now taken to mickey.

(As shown clearly above, the writer of this LJ has got no poetic talent or sensitivity whatsoever, which is just another item in the list of his numerous artistic handicaps.)

P.S.: Btw, great that you tried to read the juegosdeingenio.org page, Tams (whether you could or not). It's written in a very beautiful, unadorned Spanish (no Carlos Fuentes there!).
