An Epinions Jingle
by a_southern_mom | Oct 26 '03
If ridiculous rhyme, you don't find sublime,
For jingles abysmal, you need Pepto-Bismol,
If Excedrin’s your nurse for simplistic verse,
Please skip this review; it could make you ....

Amusing but. . . (Reply to this comment)
by Carrathon
It's not a limerick. Not that I have a problem with your poem, but you call it "An Epinions Limerick," and it does not follow the form of a limerick. (Okay, I'm a formalist).

Your poetry is fun if not a rhyming miracle (Reply to this comment)
by tomtermite
Most enjoyable. You trick the reader a few times by avoiding the trite rhyming, but we survive and get the message.
It's catchy.

Even the occasionally very dodgy rhyme didn't seem out of place!
Funny and yet true... look forward to your next jingle... :-D

by modernmarvel
I wish I could find a way to explain to my husband why I am drawn to Epinions. He thinks I am crazy!! I am going to have to show him your poem because you explain it so well!

Nothing creative from me I'm afraid ... (Reply to this comment)
by elainehn
... actually I'm sitting here reading with my mouth open and my eyes glazed in awe after reading your poem and all the creative comments!!!
But I just HAD to pop in and say WELCOME BACK!!!! I've missed you and your witty words!
Have a SUPER day!

(who is hoping her overuse of exclamation points and capital letters can help make up for her inability to rhyme!)

Re: From ASM-Corns Grow Rhyme-y Commen-T'ries (Reply to this comment)
by a_southern_mom
Yo, Jim! Thanks!
My jingled verse
Jangled my nerves!
The title's changed,
And I'll refrain
From posting 'til I check out my words!
Your words weren't terse,
In fact I burst
Into laughing shame
Because it's quite plain
No limerick had I posted first!
No lips did purse.
I didn't curse.
T'was not in vain,
Since you caught my main
Intention through the very worst!
Your news it might be old news,
But news that I could sure use,
I like to dwell
On comments swell
Until it's time for my snooze!
One thing that causes distress,
Is that I meant to profess,
Comments galore
That I adore
Appear though I might transgress.
So I wanted to say 'Thank You'
For comments that have accrued,
Not ask for more,
But feel rapport,
With those who've seen me debut.
Thanks so much for writing,
Especially for rhyming,
And your reviews
Maintain no ruse
They read like pure white lightening!
I love my new nickname; ASM! I appreciate the tips, cheers and kudos! Hope to see you often.
Bec - oops~ I mean,
ASM

It just takes Lorace,

You are wonderful, and I love you to pieces!
Thanks so much!!!

From ASM-Corns Grow Rhyme-y Commen-T'ries (Reply to this comment)
by 29th_Candidate
A_southern_mom, I commend you
On this verse the muses send you,
But it occurs to me
This, not a limerick, be
I hope I don't offend you.
I'd rather be "not wrong" than "right"
But this fine rhyme you've scribed, just might
Be less limerick in form
Than the "limerick-rule" norm
Doth inform me is "limerick-rule write."
Regarding your introspections
About comment predilections;
Though it may be old news,
Here's a tip that I use
To grow my comment sections:
To see your comment sections swell,
In others' comments you must dwell.
When comment-seeds you sow
In others' gardens grow
Your comment crops bear fruit as well.
Cheers & Kudos ASM,
--29th

It is soo great to see you again Becky (((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))
Your rhymes are quite a sight, so right like Fight Club they're tight, and the dopest of those who know how to flow couldn't go for as long as you show you can here, as sincere as a deer, your cheer's like beer, make a man so high he can try to fly like WHY dawg, I comply it's my time to rationalize and dismaterialiiiize.
And I'm just loaded up on goofiness today so forgive the rap ode, they're just loads of fun to write. You still got the rhythm thang goin' on better than me though, yo!
WAY TO BE on the hat -- that's phat.. drat^^^
See ya later~

When I type, I hunt and pecky
And then I read this verse from Becky.
My day is made, my time is up
So I'll grab the pot and pour a cup.
Coffee & 'pinions go hand in hand,
When Becky writes, it's always grand
to know we're loved and that she cares
so dispute that, if anyone dares!
Loved it, and am so happy about your hat. No one gave it to you, Becky. You earned it, for sure.
Hugs,
Lorace

Thanks, Grant!
Oddly, this ditty popped in my head almost complete, so it didn't take long at all to write! LOL That goofy rhythm was driving me nuts!
Since I've probably written 3 rhymes in my entire life, who knows why this jingle surfaced? I just wish it had appeared with a little more correct cadence, 'cos I don't know how to write that stuff.
Hope it made you smile, though! Thanks for reading, and especially commenting!
