Tsk tsk. Indeed my good sir, but my poem was intended to be read with
convenient amounts of stammering and lisping in case you didn't notice.

Just to support your point here:

It's always surprised me how many people don't understand
scansion/meter. It's a more important part of poetry than rhyme is.

Limericks have a very strict meter, which makes it almost impossible to
write a proposal as a single limerick because there's just not enough
room to fit in all the necessary boilerplate and a reasonable payload
before you run out of syllables. (I guess it'd be less bad if you
merely wanted to change the gamestate rather than creating a rule.)

It's a bit subtle but I've used the clever technique of rhyming butts with
butts

Ok I mixed that up lol with the interpretation that SOMEONE ELSE could
become, in my head. Oh gheez lol.

I believe that I myself am, but no that someone else could become.

I don't believe the interpretation that I am either but just in case the
CFJ goes towards that I am, I did the thing.

"Each Agoran Week a Player is designated the Silly Person. The Silly Person
SHALL in that week (...) submit a Silly Proposal."

You designated me Silly Person THIS week. So in THAT week (so, this one),
I've got to submit a Silly Proposal.
