Hands on the trigger
Scanning opposing figure
Whose mortis rigor?

Go for it, Raj!

For something that it is often dismissed for smutty content Limericks are a surprisingly difficult form to master. They are also excellent exercises in meter, rhyme and wit.

They also demonstrate how form affects content. The form itself is funny. I ran a workshop a while ago challenging people to write a serious limerick. Very few succeeded.

I will certainly post a Limerick as soon as a window opens for me to post...as for the Workshop on serious limerick I was an active participant....was it a workshop or a contest?
