Just a reminder that entries are due by noon today (or, for the MPQ-obsessed, when there are 9 hours left in Unholy Outlaw)!

I know my above are late, but I had meant to put them before. My internet was acting up
Will you still judge it?

Um...mine scans. I didn't use catalexis in the third line because I was trying to get the beat on "mask", but I did use extra syllable rhyme (as I did in every other line). It definitely flows, and it follows the construction in the wiki page.
Anapaestic meter (ta ta TUM), catalexis and extra syllable rhyme can make it look amphibrachic (ta TUM ta)--see the wiki link
((Empty syllable) there ONCE) (was a DUDE) (named t' CHAL) la <--extra syllable rhyme
((Empty syllable) whose BOD) (y made ALL) (the chicks HOL) ler <--extra syllable rhyme, r is usually colloquially dropped
(though his MASK) (ain't that PRET) ty <--no catalexis, extra syllable rhyme
((Empty syllable) he's NO) (ti ny KIT) ty <--extra syllable rhyme
((Empty syllable) poor FLAT) (mags t' CHAL) (la's a BAL) ler <--extra syllable rhyme, r is usually colloquially dropped
Thanks for the honorable mention.

Cool! I have always loved constructing limericks, so I was really excited when I saw the thread
Thanks for the great prize, mischief!
Additionally, Vairelome, I do agree that your limerick scans, plus it was just fun to read

I had no problem with the first four lines, which were great, but I couldn't read the last line as having emphasis on FLAT -- the emphasis seemed pretty clearly to me to be on MAGS.
This is what I get for requiring technical precision! Next time we'll do haikus.
