Life's Great Irony (Limerick) by Tascobar I knew a boy called Steph,
And sadly, he was deaf.
He was called a spack
Behind his back
But he was blissfully unaware of this, being unable to hear.
Up the ladder:
the flowing
Down the ladder:
broken thought

Yes irony in an Alanis Morissette stylee.
This is quite funny. Yep.
It's natural rather than Ironic(Great?)but the irony and fatalism lies in one's being called Steph and his being Deaf(The ironic rhyme of it)you meant this?Bravo!7
eh. not a limerick. I need to set up something to deal with these cases. If I want to look at limericks, I want to look at limericks...
Aren't we allowed to label a poeme as being of a particular form but then subvert that form? Next you'll be threatening to remove haiku status from any poeme that doesn't talk about nature and contain two contrasting images. Pffft.
'he was called a spack / behind his back'. smooth.
Call me a stick in the mud. Maybe if it was well writen I could forgive it's crassness. But it's not, it's just extremely childish. This is the last time I'll bother commenting on one of the many pieces of "litter" on this site. I am wasting my time. No vote.
maybe being unable to hear let him understand the unspoken ( or rather , respoken ) gestures more carefully. Thus, being even more aware of what was going on behind his back (in front of his face). Hmmm...just maybe.
i see no irony. grab the dictionary you are using to prop up the short leg of the couch and look up the words you use.
really sad :(
What the fuck is a spack?
