A pedant called Andy was I
Who just couldn’t let it pass by
The scan was all wrong
In this lim’rick long
So this verse I must now decry

A fine write Gold. You have trouble with those pesky metres or syllables?!
I often put the empharsis on the wrong syllarble.
Oohh-arrrhhh, you a farmer with those syllables like that?!
A good 'un - glad you dug it out.
Thank you Michael, it is an old one I came across when I was looking through some of my poems.
Love the limerick and glad you found it again - - and as for the music - well who could not be entranced by the piece. Thank you Andy for sharing them both.
Thank you Fay. Music is so wondrous in all its many forms.
One you can't say about Goldie
is that he's grown old and turned mouldy
for every knows, wherever he goes
he goes positively, some might say goes boldly!
"His life long mission to boldly go where no one has gone before"
Live long and prosper.
ANGELA HERE ! Thanks for the Shost* - and very romnntic indeed and very soothing. I like to try and play his MUSIC ! Love the LYM !
Ahhhh so you are a self-confessed PEDANT = One who insists on strict observations of rules & details in presenting KNOWLEDGE ! Brian has noted this and instructed me to tell you *He will be much more careful in future when pennining ODES replete with Science or other branches of KNOWLEDGE !* He has already been accused (wrongly) of misinformation on this site and He would hate to incur the wrath of a Friend ! Thanks for sharing - very droll !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & JOYCE
Love Angela & Brian 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
Please check *RIVER OF LOVE* - Thanks !
Thank you Angela, that piece of music has often cropped up throughout my life and it is always so enjoyable.
I am not a pedant where poetry is concerned but with the normal written English Language I have my moments.
I was expecting the usual tongue and cheek, what a surprise
Thank you Suresh, most kind.
