My house is a mess, can't you see?
And one might think it was because of me.
What I need is a shovel
to take care of this hovel

(Just wondering - is editing punctuation messing with the original author's intention? I find myself doing it a lot and I'd hate to think I'm stepping on toes.)

My house is a mess, can't you see?
And one might think it was because of me.
What I need is a shovel
to take care of this hovel
And a few weeks to dig myself free!

He kept sprightly with syrup of fig
But his less-limber sister
Got mad when he dissed her
And ruined his fig-eating gig.

There once was a gent in torment

Solatium · Nov 28, 2005

There once was a gent in torment,
For the gal who had seemed heaven-sent

(About punctuation: While I can't speak for anyone else, I put in the points I would use if I were the one continuing the limerick. If someone takes it in a different direction, and has to change the punctuation to accomodate that, it's no skin off my teeth.)

There once was a gent in torment,
For the gal who had seemed heaven-sent
She cleaned out his checking

poetinahat · Nov 28, 2005

There once was a gent in torment
For the gal who had seemed heaven-sent
had cleaned out his checking
to bankroll her necking
then garnished him twenty percent.
