mc5 - The Obligatory Limericks Game Reincarnated

There once was a line so correct

Even Rosie found if perfect

It's yet to be written (Softers) What's come over you? That line is so awful

Oh dearie dearie me ... yet another dreary self-referential limerick which has already been cocked up. Thought we'd moved on from these. Well I now qualify as a grumpy old woman so I dare - without fear or favour - to start anew!

Chalky - I once met a Somerset farmer

Phil

I confess, he was rather a charmer

Neophyte

Or should I say "she" ?

Pablo

For we failed to agree

Software

It's a gender dysphoric drama [Rosie, Chalks] perhaps I should have spelt "it" correctly and hyphenated per-fect, I think it scans then.

Phil

I can fit a whole pint in my mug Hastily re-written to avoid leaving "pint" at the end of the line!

Rosie

Straight-sided, curvy or jug (Softers) Yeah, all right. :-)

penelope

Beer, cider or tea

Raak

Or fermented sheep's pee

Neophyte

And it pours with an audible "glug"

Raak

I've decided to teach myself Greek (which is what that line of squiggles earlier was a transliteration of)

Neophyte

Be a scholar, and not just a geek

Phil

But my transliteration [Raak] Ah, I couldn't for the life of me work out what the 2nd word was supposed to be. Why not use a δ (delta) instead of ντ?

Raak

Because in modern Greek, δ is a voiced "th", and "ντ" is used for the "d" sound.

penelope

Brings much obfuscation

Marc

So now a new teacher I'll seek. Sorry for screwing things up but my neighbour (who is Greek) told me it was an incorrect line without sense...
