He may not have hair, but he's still got air
But you think that Mack Daddy's a fool, poly pants and all.

A Royal C. Mountie named Morse, eh,
Fell madly in love with his horse, eh.
His wife said, "you rapscallion,
That horse is a stallion.
This constitutes grounds for divorce, eh."

From the depths of the crypt of Saint Giles
Came a yell that resounded for miles.
Said Jerome, 'Goodness Gracious,
has Brother Ignatius
forgotten the Bishop has piles?

and I suppose, since someone mentioned haiku:
how many nuns could
live for a month on an ounce
of friar's balsam?
But I do think they work better in the original unstressed Japanese. The rhythm of English detracts from the form.

And bad it is, lol
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Writes limerick contest entries -- may I?
My program makes a sample,
These five lines, for example.
And here is the result. Not bad, say I.

Ah, but could it write a sonnet, do you think?
For even Kurzweil's Cybernetic Poet
Couldn't hold a steady metre, though it
Sometimes managed rhymes that didn't stink.
When AI comes of age perhaps we'll see
a plethora of virtual poets born?
We'll know the bots are sentient when they form
their chat between each-other metric'lly.
What electronic Chaucer, Donne and Bard
will argue for acceptance by Mankind?
First they must jump through hoops - the Turing test,
And overcome resistance long and hard.
What critical reception will they find,
I wonder - will it turn out for the best?

Cheecky lizard. There's nothing hard about talking in an umpty-umpty way, for them as likes it.
I don't know what this "toorring" thing is, but I don't hold with people who just come around firing questions at me. That's just rude,that is. Proper people don't do that.
