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

Well, that explains an awful lot.
ReplyDeletePoor Cosmo... da-da-dumb timing? You and Beethoven march to the same muse, it seems.
ReplyDeleteI have Van Gogh's ear for music.
ReplyDeleteYou must march to a very special beat!
ReplyDelete... or worse? ...
ReplyDeletefoam carefully backs away ..
Wonderful, as always!
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought you were going to use the words in a poem somehow and wondered how you were going to pull that off!
Didn't I?
ReplyDeleteIt has rhyme and metre, what more do you what??
Meaning? Too much. Far too much!! :-)
Foam: Are just working it out? Be afraid, be very afraid...
ReplyDeleteWord verification IS a pain
ReplyDeleteA 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?
Dancing is said to inspire
ReplyDeleteAn improper horizontal desire;
I find it discrete
To have two left feet,
It keeps me from playing with fire.
Your blog post I saw here in kind
ReplyDeleteThe 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?
