Round 2: Mr.Reality vs. Mr. Miyagi
Round 2 will be limericks. That's right, not only does it take original insults, but also some skill to win this game.
<i>For the uneducated, a limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. If a couplet is a two-line rhymed poem, then a triplet would be a three-line rhymed poem. The rhyme pattern is a a b b a with lines 1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats and rhyming, and lines 3 and 4 having two beats and rhyming. Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.</i>
Ex:
<i>There once was a parson named Bings
Who talked about God and such things.
But his secret desire
Was to join a mixed choir
With nice ladies with whom he'd have flings.</i>
<b>Please note that I did not write the above limerick. It sucks.</b>
Notice lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.
If that's too tough for you, you shouldn't be here. If only BOA had made it to round 2.
Each contestant will take turns insulting each other. This round will consist of just <b>5 turns</b> apiece, so make them good.
IMPORTANT: You should write ONLY a 5-line limerick in each post, NOTHING ELSE! Voters should deduct points for any words typed which are not a part of a limerick.
And remember, no editing your post once it's submitted!
Mr. Miyagi will go first. (smallest margin of victory in Round 1)
