Very well put David. Those tales were smutty beyond belief. Wonderful fare when you are a bored teenage boy

and no doubt the gift of Chaucer to teenage boys by inspirational teachers of English at CH is the very reason why we have thus been corrupted by our learning.
I am afraid that the study of the great Bard himself merely re-inforces the mistaken belief that there is humour to be found in ribaldry. Oh what a sorry thing it is to try and follow the lead of the great English poets and dramatists for, try as we might, we can never scale the heights of smut that they so effortlessly achieved.

Are you feeling inspired to give it a go, Ruth?
I'm trying to summon up a limerick myself. Might be easier after a beer late in the day.......

no, I've been pondering it for a while, but I do feel a limerick coming on... might dash off there now and string some words together...

It takes me a long time to write anything poetical - hence my lack of posts on the limerick thread!

Ha! Limerick written.
Not sure I got away with "forum" and "borin'" but I'm not very good at the whole poetry thing...

Actually it was very good - especially when you consider that you're fully clothed AND at work.....

but if I go home home and take all my clothes off I can't post limericks as I have no internet access... I'd have to go to the internet cafe to do that and it's run by Muslims and I'm not sure they'd appreciate it...

well you can use my access if you want, Ruth. You have only to ask - any time.
.... and yes - writing limericks without clothes can indeed be most inspirational.
