Life in 5,7,5

We at Thundersquee! can’t help but be indignant at the inequities of the poetic form when it comes to expressing the more low brow moments in life. So, to help even the field we offer you Lowku. The game and aim are simple. Twice a month we’ll display an image of one of life’s more “WTF?” moments, and your mission is to carefully select words that add up to 17 syllables and string them together in 5,7,5 form in order to describe said image or tell its story. The winners of the previous challenge will be announced at the start of the following round and a new image will be posted to ignite the next bout of genius.

Last round’s winner and today’s inspiration after the jump.

Life in 5,7,5

Today will be the last Lowku unless you, dear Squeers! say otherwise.  Participation has dwindled to zero so I am assuming lack of interest, and while I am very sad to see it go because it has been like a child to me, sometimes you have to move on.  There will still be Low-merick on Wednesday, though.  So here is your final Lowku.

Life in 10,10,6,6,10

Today’s challenge is a little more challenging.  Instead of your standard Lowku, we’re upping the ante and asking for Limericks. Because there are various ideas of what makes a limerick, we’ll make it easier (or more difficult, depending on how you look at it), and define the form’s syllables as 10,10,6,6,10.  The 10 syllable lines should rhyme with each other and the 6 syllable lines should rhyme.  Ready?  Here’s your inspiration.
