online (least word limerick)

[entwife]

text, troll, verbalize,
poke, brutally criticize
craftily tweet,
never to meet
pretend you are otherwise

That's right...I'm 6'2'', I bench press 300lbs, I'm a professional male model, and I make $500,000 a year through my broker. If you send me $20 to cover shipping and handling, I'll send you my 12 step program to becoming a wealthy blog mogul with little or no skills. Heh-heh...Of course I have selfie I can send you!!!! Today's date? Er...uh...no. I've uh, got a bandage over my left eye and don't want to post a selfie that might damage my reputation as a sex symbol. Loved this one...false presentation and anonymous villany are rampant!! Awesome - dew

Excellent stuff... kinda lol'ing at myself that this form is addictive enough for others to try.

But to the poem, great stuff. I honestly can't get away from the two word alliteration at the beginning; so simple but great!

I think there's also an interesting depth that you can do this to someone you have met as well when you are trying to be someone you're not.


btw, I'm actually a dog

This has a bite to it which makes use out of the limerick form and, more importantly, the least word element. Plus it would actually work as a tweet too, so if you want to share this with some of those on-line players, pretending they are otherwise, you could meet them on their medium!

A fun little limerick which hammered home a good axiom in the closing line!

[Rainman]

Sharp and pointy limerick, the best ones often have an edge to them like this.
Well done on the spotlightification!

[Lonnie]

Short and sweet with words that treat the eye and ear to song complete. In other words, very well put together!

[shays1]

so good, so true. so many do as you say they do.
Spot on the sign of the times for a great spotlight!

Great economy of words - I sometimes think it is harder
to effectively convey the whole picture in a few words
than in a sprawling essay- congratulations on the light!

[entwife]

thanks all for the wonderful praise. this is one of those instant rants that I'd forgotten about. nice that you've let it shine again.

New names hide one's true identity. I think this is what your telling me. Your limerick seems to work quite well.

Great limerick!!!! Always fun to read. Only problem is how to write a clean one. Ogden Nash was quoted as saying, "There are limericks for women, there are limericks for the clergy. Then, there are limericks".
