Born Benjamin, bright Boston's bulky boy
Commandingly came courting countries' change
Did destiny decline? Did death destroy?
Ethereal, eschewed 'e Earth's exchange
For further — fifty fathoms — Franklin flew
Gargantuan, gouged George (God's glorified)
He hurdled Heaven's high hullaballoo
'is independence it inspired inside
Jejune, Judge John Jay jeerèd joyfully
Kept kinship kindled, killed King's knowing knights
Less lethal letters lashed lads' loyalty
More minions marched, made Massachusetts' might
(Need narrative net nuance? Nail named's node:
Of oozing offal, or odiferous ode?)
This limerick lacks the five lines
ReplyDeleteAnd it has the wrong placement of rhymes
I won't drag it thru the mud,
But this limerick's a dud
And would best be recited by mimes.
Love,
Robyn
