Philip Coates Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Daunce, I liked the poem you started the thread with. Sadly, too true of Oists in recent years.I don't think Georgie-Porgie wants to be limited by the exact meter of number of syllables in a formal limerick. Neither do I. And there is some latitude.But I don't think he'll post another:He knows if it turns into a "Limerick-Off Bitch Slapping Contest", I could mop up the floor with him and leave him torn, whimpering and bleeding.

You on the cliff is a sharp enough image. A torn whimpering bleeding George would drive everybody over the edge.

You on the cliff is a sharp enough image. A torn whimpering bleeding George would drive everybody over the edge.Carol: yours is a rare wisdom indeed. Naked Phil on the cliff with a torn whimpering bleeding George at his feet is not an image we should encourage in the OL readers, either in this thread or in others, whether by full quote, or even by snippet. Let's do what we can to prevent this image from gaining traction here, or elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 On a cliff, Phil told George to skip it.He said, "If you bleed, then I'll drip itOn the quote pond belowAnd I'll make you eat crow.Dude, I'll whip it with my mighty snippet!"

PDS Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 On the granite faced-cliff, Coates could only laugh,at yet another attempt, to avoid a misquoting gaffe.OL's no-brainer technology, he just would not use, and for this act of courage, he caught Ghs' abuse.But,it was this general attitude, this "devil-may-care,"that allowed Coates to focus on his curly Orange Hair.In the clear water below, Phil gazed with alarm, At the unmistakable outline of a douty schoolmarm. And right there Phil decided, upon further reflection,to put on his clothes, and change his direction."Finger wagging no more," Coates shouted through the hills, "With this I'll deny my OL audience their thrice-daily thrills."Then with one act of free will, akin to Extreme Unction, Phil decided at long last, to use the Quote Function.

I don't agree about voting. Being read and enjoyed is the only vote that matters.I would say further that one thing that makes this site unique, and in my opinion the best Osite, is the absence of hierarchy and the fussy classifications of "newbie","junior member", "VIP" and so on, as well as the silly earnestness of moderation by an eager clerkly class of ideologues.
