And I thought limericks were funny. Or was this?

Before I say anything else, was this supposed to be funny? Not trying to be offensive or anything Because I thought that this was pretty amusing. Very clever

host as in possession? or host as in new occupant of his haunting space? it’s a very dry humor either way.

First and foremost, studmuffin: I always crack up over your story’s tags. Cauliflower ?!?

Now, on to the my complaint: It’s not a limerick. A limerick’s rhyming scheme is AABBA, this poem’s rhyming scheme is AABCCB. 5 stars for a good poem, minus 2 stars for calling it a limerick. :)

It’s a mock limerick…kinda.

And whether or not it’s “funny” and whether or not its about possession or just occupant is left to interpretation.

I didn’t write it to be deathly serious though…

Rhyme scheme threw me off a beat, but I thought it was pretty funny, definitely witty.

Short and humorous. And now I have to go read up on limericks, because I’m curious about the qualifications.
