LXIV - Word Verification Limerick

.
Some people love word verification. Not sure why.
I have never used it and not had any problems.
The time was right for a word verification limerick, which I have reproduced above.

Translated, it reads:
Word verification is the pits
When doing a blog comments blitz
To say verification
Is a mild irritation
Is wrong, in reality it gives me quite a lot of bother.

◊◊◊

The limerick addiction's a curse,
And can result in dreaming in verse,
It's not the rhyming
It's the da-da-dum timing
That leads to insanity, or worse

  6. Wonderful, as always!

    At first, I thought you were going to use the words in a poem somehow and wondered how you were going to pull that off!

  9. Word verification IS a pain
    A mere ruse to addle the brain
    But the rewards are so sweet
    When like minds do meet
    And our feeble efforts have not been in vain.

    Hows your da-dum timing on the dance floor Mr. Newberry?

  10. Dancing is said to inspire
    An improper horizontal desire;
    I find it discrete
    To have two left feet,
    It keeps me from playing with fire.

  11. Your blog post I saw here in kind
    The limerick a mere paradigm
    Shifting for me
    One hundred and three
    The percentage of joy I did find.

    This is fun! Can we have a limerick a day contest?
