That will be some consolation if Mr R wins...I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Mr. Reality, have you been practicing? You really sucked at limericks last time, and this time it's seems you've mastered it! Good job!I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

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...

They say that your whore name is Keith

But not for the pleasure
Instead, for the treasure
Of enjoying the taste underneath.

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.

Originally posted by Mr. MiyagiI take it you have a very high opinion of yourself, don't you?
I only think highly of myself when it comes to being on stage... but then if you want to be good at it, you have to think highly of yourself... otherwise you will suck.
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.

Originally posted by Shiny ChickenWell, I sucked in the first round.
I thought Mr. R's limerick's were the closest to having flow. Many only tried to rhyme and that's it. Some didn't even do a good job at that.
