Who has a Lymeric
BlaineG and Boots; didn't wanna sidetrack yer thread. Here's mine I thunked up in 11th or 12th grade.
There once was a man named Led
Who fell and landed on his head
He was given First Aid
And placed in the shade
But the poor soul was already Dead

Re: Who has a Lymeric

Omniumque virtutum augmentatio.

Re: Who has a Lymeric
Here's the transliteration:
Let it be for the elimination for my sins,
For the expulsion of desire and lust,
[And] for the increase of charity and patience,
Humility and obedience,
As well as all the virtues.
Let it be for the elimination for my sins,
For the expulsion of desire and lust,
[And] for the increase of charity and patience,
Humility and obedience,
As well as all the virtues.
The prayer may have been composed with a particular experience in mind in May of 1244, when Thomas was 19, he was abducted as part of an attempt to dissuade him from his religious intentions. They "...introduced a ravishing girl, seductively attired, into his cell to seduce him and thereby break his will." (Weisheipel, Friar Thomas D’Aquino, Doubleday, 1974. p. 30) and the same author states that the attempt was not successful. Weisheipel also quotes Vives’ Opera Omnia (Paris, Vives 1871-82), stating that the whole prayer, "Gratias tibi ago... (I give thanks to you...)" is "traditionally attributed to Thomas."
As it is, it smacks of the limerick form and style, but purists may not accept it as a legitimate member of the limerick family. Perhaps that is appropriate for membership in what is a motley crew.
Primary stresses exemplified:

_ _ _ ‘ _ _ _ _ ‘ _ _ _ _ _ ‘ _ _
_ _ ‘ _ _ _ _ ‘ _ _
_ _ _ ‘ _ _ _ _ ‘ _ _
_ _ ‘ _ _ ‘ _ _ _ ‘ _ _
If Thomas aimed, it would not seem unjust to credit him with a near miss in the limerick area.
Are Procrustean efforts now find-
ing a limerick where none was in mind?
Though Aquinas once wrote
All the lines that you quote,
Supplication was FIRST in his mind.
Possible English Limerick Versions of His Prayer
Extinguish concupiscent fires,
Eliminate lustful desires;
Give patience and love,
A plentitude of
What humble obeying requires.
O strengthen my efforts to rule
My passions and help me to cool
Attractions to sin,
Then help me begin
Considering virtue a jewel.
Oh LORD, I can prove intellectual,
A. Doctor, profoundly effectual,
Whose teachings are sure
If YOU keep me pure
With thoughts that are wholly asexual.
Another Version
by Robin Kay Willoughby
This limerick’s for purging my sin,
Ousting lust and desire from within,
Which leaves oodles of space
For agape and grace,
Plus humility, virtue, and gin.
C2N14... because life is not energetic enough.

It seems Wall Street is writing our laws;
Co’s like Citigroup — clause by bad clause.
If you think it’s a crime
That the rich win each time,
That right there is your probable cause.

Re: Who has a Lymeric
Just happened to get this in an e.mail this morning.
There once was a Congressman named Weiner,
Who had a perverted demeanor,
Forced from the Hill for acting like Bill,
Now Congress is one weiner leaner.

Re: Who has a Lymeric
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean -
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
