A caballero who tossed the caber,
Could catch flies on the end of his saber.
The ladies would swoon
As he entered the room,
Sweet payment for all of his labor.
A nice young lass and an aurist
Went wandering deep in the forest.
“Let me gaze in your ear,”
He whispered quite clear,
“I am really a bit of a tourist.”
Renowned for acute auscultation
My doc had a bizarre revelation.
The ping and the pong
Syncopated with dong,
Made a Latin rhythm vibration.
I write these just to play. Does anyone else like this form?

Hi Eosmia. Had to look up the two au-words. Aurist especially (if I´ve understood it right) gave a boost of comprehension and appreciation to the second limerick.
However with the great alliteration, comedy and bizarre imagery of:
"A caballero who tossed the caber,
Could catch flies on the end of his saber."
I have to doff my cap in favour of the first.
Excellent fun!
Warm regards

Thanks
When my son was a child I would make up a limerick everyday with which I'd awaken him (poor Kid). I wrote very few of them down. I was hoping to improve his vocabulary.

It's strange...but I like it. It was definitely an interesting read. The length was perfect. Vocabulary was strong and too complicated sometimes, but I think it actually worked to an advantage with this poem. I had to look up a few words, but I kind of enjoyed not knowing at the same time. I really like the last tine, it's almost funny.

buhh-rrriillll-ianttttttttt. Loved it. Very, very witty. And great to hear. An aurist, one with a musical ear, would certainly enjoy it. And your vocabulary. Man oh Man. you a lexicographer or what
