There is power in ev-e-ry word,
Or at least, that is what I have heard.
But believe it or not,
Those who told me forgot!
And the speeches they preach are absurd!

Written for
dVerse,
though I’m not sure it qualifies. The meter is fun, like all
Limericks,
and a nice break from my usual, more serious meter and subjects!
Sure it qualifies. For me the rhythm of the limerick always confers a smile or even a laugh. It also works well for a bit of sarcasm which is what you’ve given us here.
Never thought of the limerick to fit the bill. Clever and playful, Dr. Well played.
Really fun! I went through a limerick writing spell with our resident limerick queen, Madeleine Begun Kane. I think she’s still hosting them if you’re interested. 🙂
Such a sparkling response to the prompt 😀 love the limerick ❤
I like this playful take on the prompt! 🙂
Limericks live by its rhythms.. it qualifies.
Short, sweet and clever! It made me smile 🙂
Ah the fun of the limerick — the humor that gets placed in the words within the rhythm! Great response to the prompt 🙂
Part of the limerick’s playfulness comes from the meter, so this certainly qualifies! A fun piece!
