Just starting typing my question in here I figure out the answer in my head. I'm keeping this forum in a window in the background at all times if it happens again.

I always knew we were good at helping people find answers. I just didn't know how good! Maybe that should be our new tag line.

That's amazing! Same kind of thing happens to me but in reverse! I keep these pages in the background just in case I don't know the answer!

What do you mean "a poem...at least a limerick"? Are you questiniong the artistic merit of the trad Irish form?

There once was an ignorant yak
Who spoke through the top of his hat!
He made some insulting insinuation
that lymmericks were a less artistic creation!!
Now just how offensive is that?

Nah...why say that...a limerick is just shorter...

5 lines to exact...

verse construction, current in Ireland, the refrain of which
contains the place name Limerick.]
A nonsense poem of five anapestic lines, of which lines 1, 2,
and 5 are of there feet, and rime, and lines 3 and 4 are of
two feet, and rime; as

There was a young lady, Amanda, Whose Ballades Lyriques

Ah, the good old days - but now times have changed

quote:

Pronunciation: 'li-m&-rik, 'lim-rik
Function: noun
Etymology: Limerick, Ireland
Date: 1896
: a light or humorous verse form of 5 chiefly anapestic verses of which lines 1, 2, and 5 are of 3 feet and lines 3 and 4 are of 2 feet with a rhyme scheme of aabba

Pick the difference...

Now Brett was a guy who thought pensively
and quoted from websters extensively
Though smart (to be sure)
He was culturally poor
For it seemed that he rhymed apprehensively

C'mon Brett - give us a pome!

Ok here is the extent of my rhyme capabilities.

There once was a Pirate Peanut named Nate.

Who did the fandango on skates.

He fell on his cutlass and now he is nutless.

And totally useless on dates.

There once was a coder, Mr Brown

In the weed smoking capital Adelaidia!

He went by an alphanumeric.
And with SQL smarts he always would share it.
But without DDL.
Your query can go straight to hell.
'Cause there's no chance he'll repair it.

---> VERY IMPORTANT, Brett is actually a very great guy in helping people out and even providing the DDL for them. But it's just so hard to rhyme and be funny. Hopefully he'll take it in jest.

There's a guy named X002548
Who's obivously got too much on his plate
And he's running out of time
To post in his rhyme
Before the next Team newsletter's final date

There once was a fellow named Brett
Who is about as nice as you get
He is too busy counting code
To give a reply to Stoad
But he will post again you can Bet

You people are f---ing hilarious
With rhymes both sly and nefarious
Your wit irrepressible,
Not once inaccessible,
And like all good Yaks, highly gregarious!

there was a yak named Rob Brown
who when asked to blog turned it down
it gave him a fright
he didn't know what to write
so he decided to stick rhyming nouns
