Another end of the world limerick, this one's a fresh one. My last title was better though...
Some fellow had chose to cause friction
By attempting a doomsday prediction
But the end of the world
Is not what unfurled
So the whole thing turned out to be fiction.
Okay, David, since I'm always ragging on The Limericist about some minor offense to the language, I suppose I also must burst your bubble to thus become an equal opportunity imploder.
ReplyDeleteSo who learned you to speak the Queen's English--Nanook of the North? "Some fellow had chose..."(??). You been hangin' around Oklahomans or sumpin'? Tsk,tsk! (or as Nanook would say to his walrus, "Tusk, tusk.")
May I offer an improvement by retaining the simple past tense "chose" but replacing "fellow had" with "soothsayer," "oracle," "clairvoyant," "would-be-seer" or (if you can stand it) "non-prophet." I.e., line one could now read:
Some oracle chose to cause friction
(As always, David, never take anything that I say in a comment to heart. I'm just messin' widja. --OJ)
I dunno, I ain't done been hanging around with them fellers that do all that there book-learnin'. Mebbe it's been stuntin' muh edumacation.
