Well, as most of you know, I'm not a rhymer by nature, however I came across this limerick from the challenge ( poetry-here-and-now.proboards.com/thread/830/limerick-challenge#ixzz2tvQVF1lJ) that Reilley recently resurrected).

There once was a girl so romantic
she fell for a boy quite pedantic
who lectured in verse
and so made her curse
the day he discovered semantics.

"The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life ... The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!" – John Burroughs

C'mon guys, if our fearless leader can do it, so can you!

Since you're a rhymer-by-nature, I treasure your approval. Limericks are fun, if you're in the mood.
