That reminds me of a poem with the word Timbuktu in it.

Let's see. Poems can take any form. The form for a limmerick (still, a type of poem) is etched in stone.
It is always as follows: There once was a man from_______ (Rhyme A) Who used to go dancing in________ (Rhyme A) When he got up to_______ (Rhyme B) His his legs went_______ (Rhyme B) And everyone pissed in their______ (Rhyme A) 5 lines, rhyme scheme A/A/B/B/A EDIT: There really oughtta be a limmerick thread. And in contemporay times, they're usually schmutzig. Edited by BobKay (04/19/12 07:21 PM)

Maybe in Oakland, but not in Virginie. Do it anyway, just because.

I often wore clothing that irked others. Some advice: if you choose the day carefully in advance, you can get a lot more mileage outta your rayon shirt (or paisley chaps). Why are Hawaiian shirts always something other than cotton anyway? Edited by BobKay (04/20/12 09:22 AM)
