Everyone in this limerick contest sucked... Mr. R was the closest... but no one knows how to write poetry... and some of them would be so easy to fix... for instance...
I fixed it in under a minuteQuote:

I take it you have a very high opinion of yourself, don't you?
Poetry... limericks included... have a rhythm... a beat. Your rhyming lines should match up in beat... though an extra down beat is allowed to start a line. For instance, the one I just "fixed"...
_ = downbeat
X = beat
_ X _ _ X _ _ X
They say that your whore name is Keith
_ X _ _ X _ _ X
You circumsize kids with your teeth
_ X _ _ X _
But not for the pleasure
_ X _ _ X _
Instead, for the treasure
_ _ X _ _ X _ _ X
Of enjoying the taste underneath.
Note the X's are all on natrually emphasized syllables
Notice the pattern?
_ X _ _ X _ _ X
_ X _ _ X _ _ X
_ X _ _ X _
_ X _ _ X _
_ _ X _ _ X _ _ X
Line 5, in this case has the allowed extra downbeat to start.
In limericks, lines 3 and 4 are always shorter!! They are also of the same length, unless there is that added syllable.
And I may be mistaken... but I believe that limericks almost always follow the "_ _ X" form... although, there are others.... the most famous, being iambic pentameter... which is how all of shakespeare's sonnets are written: "_ X _ X _ X _ X _ X"
Instead of following a few simple poetic rules that would have easily won anyone this round, you all sounded like 6 year olds trying to rhyme... except Mr. R, who sounded like a 12 year old.
I'm not a very good poet... that's why I find it so funny that all of these sucked so much.Quote:

But on other points, I don't think very highly of myself at all. For instance, I don't know how to fight. I probably couldn't beat up a dead frog.
Too bad you got eliminated in the 1st round.
Well, I sucked in the first round.
Really?Quote:

LOL. best one imoQuote:

good job bro :up:
it's not enough to just call them gay- that got old years ago. You also have explicitly state (or at least imply) that they committed carnal acts with other men that even most gay people would find appalling. That's how you write a good insult.Quote:
