		[Apologies to Steven Brust, whose poem I have adapted] 
 
A Crone from the isle of Man 
Wrote limericks that wouldn't quite scan 
When told this was so 
She replied, "Yes, I know, 
It's because I always try to fit as many unnecessary syllables into the very last line as I possibly can."

		Sorry, there are two more adaptations that I can't resist sharing. 
 
[First attempt] 
 
There was a Sidhe Lord from Eriu 
Who tried writing limerics in haiku 
But 
 
*Cue groans, please.* 
 
[Second attempt] 
 
There was a Sidhe Lord 
From Eriu, whose lim'ricks all 
Look'd like haiku. He 
 
Said with a laugh "I 
Cut them in half, the pay is 
Much better for two."

		Two Ermorians suffering from cold 
Tried a maneuver both stupid and bold 
What a shock when they died 
Attacking the angel they spied.. 
Their fates, and the angel, manifold.

		Why is Ermor so much fun to pick on? 
 
There once was a player with Ermor 
who thought deadly scales would help win more 
but the players all said 
undead should be dead 
They agreed to gang up on poor Ermor

		A Lord Guardian marched forth from the Keep, 
to bury some heresy deep. 
But he died much too soon, 
on the second of June, 
when a lowly Druid put him to sleep.

		In Marignon there lived a priest 
Who inspected virgins to do his piece 
But one of them lied 
And he made her his bride 
And all of his Blood Hunting ceased.
 
I have to poke at the Blood Slave issue.....  it's become a sore spot for me, I'll try to come up with one that is less tame at some point.

		I asked for the reasons to buy it 
and I finally thought that Id try it 
but now I dont eat 
or get any sleep 
Ive lost weight on the "Dom3 Diet"
