Flipped limerick challenge
We all know limericks. Light, funny, sometimes dirty, AABBA.
Time to flip them. Can you express your best serious, dark, or twisted idea while keeping true to the limerick form?
Let's take the whimsy out of whimsical!
A couple gut punches to inspire
1.
The white sheet over the professor's face
wiped all her life's work without a trace.
I asked what she had done
the police pointed to the gun.
Oh how far she had fallen from God's grace!
2.
I gave the emaciated boy ham on rye
He took it with a tear in his eye.
After a single bite,
he gave up the fight.
And the rest became food for the flies.
