EPTSo close to a Zerg base of blue
That should have been hit with green slime
But Zerg can not do that this time
And overlords were reduced to one plus negative two

It isn't just the rhyme, guys. The chronic mistake in this thread is to use too many syllables. There's definitely more leeway than in, say, a haiku, but it has to have some rhythm. Team Liquid's the place for SC, [Team LI-quid's the PLACE for ess-SEE,] Progamers know it's where to be. [Pro-GAM-ers know IT'S where to BE,] For Brood War and II, [For BROOD War and TWO,] and custom maps too, [and CUS-tom maps TOO,] It's almost a wonder it's free. [It's AL-most a WON-der it's FREE.] When you do a limerick right, you should almost be able to sing it. | ||

When he blinked past the speed of light He violated causality And broke our reality And this fucked universe is a fright A pursued Sentry put on a charade In a group of hallucinations he made Along came a Raven And took away his safe haven And Marayders killed him with grenades A spawning pool provided lings The speed upgrade gave them wings But unable to fly To banshees they die Those missiles have serious zing | ||

da-DUM - unstressed-stressed (Iamb) da-da-DUM - unstressed-unstressed-stressed (anapest) There are only two structures of a line in a limerick. A is three feet long, B is two feet long. A: Foot1 - Foot2 - Foot3 B: Foot4 - Foot5 The lines are structured like this: A A B B A All A:s and all B:s should be in the same metre, i.e the one posted above by Aeo uses this metre: A: da-DUM da-da-DUM da-da-DUM B: da-DUM da-da-DUM | ||

and on zealots no praise do I lauder. Why can't you see you just double-hit "b" and if you can't reap 'er maraud 'er Zergs say that lost temple's a bore Because of the brutal dropped thor They often complain I just wish they'd explain before they left why my mother's a whore. I confess I must raise an objection to my rage when I lose from detection While it feels good to yell That DTs are from hell I think it gives toss an erection.

Or is it a scheme To take all your marines And change them to make them "marhyme"? | ||

There are two types of feet used in limericks, they all have the stress on the last syllable: da-DUM - unstressed-stressed (Iamb) da-da-DUM - unstressed-unstressed-stressed (anapest) There are only two structures of a line in a limerick. A is three feet long, B is two feet long. A: Foot1 - Foot2 - Foot3 B: Foot4 - Foot5 The lines are structured like this: A A B B A All A:s and all B:s should be in the same metre, i.e the one posted above by Aeo uses this metre: A: da-DUM da-da-DUM da-da-DUM B: da-DUM da-da-DUM If you want to argue the semantics of the form you could do well to double check to make sure that you are correct first- limericks came into existence long before variable feet or two-footed substitutions in three-footed contexts and vice versa. Were you to construct a traditional limerick you would probably try to be operating with mostly anapestic feet. Your confusion considering the iamb is from poor practice- the traditional limerick has nine syllables in lines 1, 2, and 5. I think I saw someone else construct a line metrically spelled out for everyone as an iamb followed by two anapests and then a headless iamb at the end?- in any case that's really convoluted and strange. It's simplest to just disregard 2 syllable feet for the purpose of the limerick anyway (like the double dactyl, half of the humor and fun of a limerick is the triple meter). If you want to be a stickler for the rules of the form, you should at least note that the meter in the limerick is only half, or even less than the purpose of the form. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the meter is really only a by product of the nature of the triple form in English prosody in the limerick, and that provided your subject matter is choice and your delivery witty, the meter will actually bend away from traditional rhythms of speech and towards the metrical contract of the form.
