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.

It's a bit subtle but I've used the clever technique of rhyming butts with butts On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 2:29 AM, Madeline wrote: > On 2018-02-08 12:26, Ørjan Johansen wrote: > >> On Wed, 7 Feb 2018, Cuddle Beam wrote: >> >> Ok so, hear me out, this is a limerick about butts >>> It's pretty good, I've got this down, butts. >>> give each Agoran a shiny, butts >>> And a coin, butts >>> This is a classy proposal - butts butts butts! >>> >> >> Going for the joke option, I take, since it fulfils none of the other >> definitions... >> >> (I think option 1 is redundant with option 2, anyway.

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Rejoice, the Limerickmeister, has FINALLY arrived to grace Agora
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.
