(FINAL)SEMIFINALS: Mr. Reality Defeats Crisis 28-7

[Mr.Reality]

Good job Crisis.

[The King]

That will be some consolation if Mr R wins...

[Crisis]

Good job Crisis.

You too.

That LOG slam had me laughing.

[The_Philster]

close match guys.

Crisis bought a new pup
Then removed his protective cup
As he ravaged his dog
He named it Log
‘Cause it never shut the **** up.

@ the log line

[RedEyE]

And you're whore name is Keith
you circumsize kids with your teeth
but not for pleasure
but for the treasure
of the taste underneath

This was the best entry. Too bad it's the only good one Crisis posted.

[mybills]

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!

[Shiny Chicken]

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...

And you're whore name is Keith
you circumsize kids with your teeth
but not for pleasure
but for the treasure
of the taste underneath

I fixed it in under a minute

They say that your whore name is Keith
You circumsize kids with your teeth
But not for the pleasure
Instead, for the treasure
Of enjoying the taste underneath.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I take it you have a very high opinion of yourself, don't you?

[Shiny Chicken]

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.

[Shiny Chicken]

I take it you have a very high opinion of yourself, don't you?

I'm not a very good poet... that's why I find it so funny that all of these sucked so much.

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.

[Crisis]

Too bad you got eliminated in the 1st round.

[Shiny Chicken]

Well, I sucked in the first round.

[chernobylwraiths]

close match guys.

Really?

[chernobylwraiths]

Well, I sucked in the first round.

I got tired of seeing all the homosexual and incest type remarks. Is that the only way to insult people, to call them gay? Not much imagination.

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.
