Who doesn't enjoy a good limerick? Five lines with an alternating rhyme scheme, this form of poetry is meant to be pithy, quaint, and memorable! This game is simple: Come up with a limerick (or two) about HF horses, history, stables, or members, and post them here! A panel of HF judges (TBD--I'll be looking for volunteers) will pick the top two limericks for the grand prizes! Limerick Definition: A limerick is a poem (often humorous) consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. Participation Boon: For each limerick posted, you get 50 HF points, to be bestowed on any of your horses! Grand Prizes (2): The winning limerick aficionados will get 300 HF points for a chosen horse, $5,000 in prize money (to be allotted to one of your horses), and the great and unparalleled honor of being an HF Limerick Gold Medalist--a dazzling title that will thrill all your friends! c2grinparty_zpsf14595e4 Example Limerick by Chay: To Thine Great WA EnchantmentThis stallion’s a magical mount, whose gorgeous grey face typifies his champion clout. Three world titles and no end to the chase down Enchantment’s triumphant route. (Disclaimer: Chay is an infant limerick writer, and should not be judged harshly by her peer HFers. Demure giggling at such a blatant attack on the English language is allowed; outright fits of laughter are frowned upon.)
Commence with your limericks! Most of all, have fun.
