I figured every guy did.
"Sack"...Really? I figured every guy did.<br /><br />"Sack" is Mad's word of the week. I figured since I had sick, suck, and sack in L2, I'd use the other two vowel sounds in L3, with sec and sock. As for L5, I decided on the wordplay there (alas, alack) as soon as I decided to put sack on a different line. That I found a third l-word for the line was just a bonus. I alliterate when I can. Maybe I do it too much. I don't think it's a problem here, but sometimes the limerick flows better when you don't do it. You don't want to drop a better word to get a worse one that has the desired sound.<br /><br />Tasteless? Absolutely. That's never been a problem for me. You can't be scared of that in this business.<br /><br />Anyway, as usual, the title was the hard part. I'm not in love with it, but it was the best I could think of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795258136526678277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179119864914364117.post-61077486528229371772016-08-25T10:13:07.887-05:002016-08-25T10:13:07.887-05:00Laughable, alliterate, and totally tasteless -- ju...Laughable, alliterate, and totally tasteless -- just the way I like 'em, Dave! <br /><br />But, gee, I thought I was the only guy who knew about whip socks...
