    This was mine -

    There was a young man with a big heart
    When one morning he woke with a start
    He didn't know why
    But then gave a big sigh
    As he realised his wife had just done a big f@@@

    Please do not copy this as I believe this shows true literary merit, and is worthy of winning the nanopod.

    :T
    :eek:
    :rotfl:

    Hmmm - now where were the details for entry to the Booker Prize next year!

    Limerick (poetry)

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search
    A limerick is a five-line poem in anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme scheme (aabba), which intends to be witty or humorous, and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent

    Wikipedia says different!!:rotfl: Or do you know different, Zenseeker?

    Then I suggest you do the same, and perhaps you could refrain from posting comments at every available opportunity when I have posted something, which is nothing to do with you.

    I have asked you before, and I ask you again politely to leave me alone.

    Ped, I told you once, I'm telling you for the last time...stop PMing me. All I do is delete them now, I refuse to read your abusive crap anymore.

    I sent two pm messages in response to yours - the second was this -

    This is the third time that I am asking you to leave me alone. You had no reason to criticise my earlier post. If you don't wish to have any further contact, the answer is simple. LEAVE ME ALONE. Is that too difficult or too much to ask?

    Thanks anyway."

    Perhaps you could explain to whoever it is you are trying to impress which of the above messages you found to be "abusive crap"
