    Whispering — 'Nine and Wolf. This, this ladies and gentlemen, is where they fought. You can see, here in the dust, peg marks where little people marked out the pit. You can see weals, fossilized in chalk, where mighty feet danced rhythm and rhyme. You can see a YouTube video, discarded, faded by time's passage, playing still, though we no longer comprehend its secrets' — palms stubble, deafeningly — 'Who was the victor? Weep with me. Our tears will show us truth.'

    Bones rise from the Earth...

    Somewhere before the screen (or not)
    A dozen of limericks, their bright rhymes in sight
    Had filled his heart with pure delight.
    Little did he know
    that the perfect flow
    was yet to be presented tonight.

    It was dead, the nightmare over, we were free, light had won!
    Now I come back, what in the hell have you two done?
    Don't play with the powers at be, This ain't no RPG
    Now my final fantasy is my survivablity
    The unread blot out the sun, I'll trip you first and then i'll run!

    Writing poetry saps my bonanza
    Like lightning from rumbling panzas
    When I spew up deep verse
    Literati cry, worse!​
    And I risk cutting my knob on a stanza

    No more genital mutilation, the keys to creation
    The use of inflation to project inspiration
    Not gonna lie, i like how you did this part
    But i'm the Captain now, and it's time to depart​
    I wish my brain would go on vacation.

    Seth said it was limerick day,
    upon on the Twelfth of May.
    I'm three days to late.
    You'll just have to wait,
    till next year for my rhyming display.

    Next year is today, this 15th of May
    Come out and play with your rhyming display!
    Not to be terse
    but could you indent your verse?​
    A challenger has entered the fray

    One day a year is enough
    for making this limerick stuff.
    My rhymes won't be invented.
    Nor my verse be indented.​
    Instead I'll be having a huff!

    You can huff and puff but let me blow you away
    To do this right we need way more than one day
    -I hate/respect your style
    -be it straw, wood or brick pile
    It's Sunday, lets pray your soul survives this flay.

    A meme, are you insane?
    Has all my work been in vain?
    To fight this dog for the throne
    who'd settle for less than a bone​
    The meaning is plain, my pride will not tolerate this stain.

    There once was a writer called Chained.
    Who found himself by memes most pained.
    What a dark happening.
    It's like a new fappening.
    Oops, more internet references gained. :p:p

    I couldn't escape them, these pictures with words
    Advice, good and bad, no i don't trust these birds
    The cat I like, hes grumpy like me!
    But giving that cat a movie is a breed of insanity​
    I'm the father of Simba trampled by electromagnetic herds.

    What day is today, may i say they all seem to be one?
    the moment i'm in has always been so much fun
    yesterday hurt the more i think about it
    i won't make it to tomorrow so who gives a... rocket?​
    Live Justin the moment, and please excuse the bad pun.
