5.18 To Live and Let Diorama episode addition (sorta)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sometimes even I feel silly.

And though I loathe, despise, and abominate author's notes, I'm writing some anyway...

The following was written originally for April Fools' Day, and as a break after my 'Friction' epic (which I know played fast and loose with the Gilmore Gospel according to some (dates, etc.) but as it was fictional, and my own hot-aired brand of it, remains exactly what I wanted to write.)

The following was also written because too much cheese and soap are bad for a girl's complexion.

And because recycling is good for the world.

Besides, tonight's show made me laugh. Which is something I needed.

(I considered sonnets but felt that Gilmore Girls would like limericks better. That they were mentioned on the show is just icing.)

For Kitty and her very own Independence Inn.

I.

Few have the beauty of a Lorelai

Not even the Aurora Borealiai

Luke's clearly quite smitten

Logan, maybe quitten

And Dean left alone, a bore, to sigh.

II.

Though Emily did clearly earn it

Lor would get the writer to burn it

It can't be any good

(Though it praises the food.)

It tells truth but Em won't discern it.

III.

It's cloudy, the diner guy's motive

But Lorelai's clearly promotive

To build a museum

Then lower his per diem

For the light of his life, his votive.

IV.

Without sex, Zach is no Lancelot

At fair Sophie he will glance a lot

For Lane's honored her vow

Not for breaching, her bow

Abstinence mightn't get even a shot.

V.

Damn College Men! moan Rory and Paris

For their poor hearts these boys will harass

Nary a faithful hound

Clueless too, I'll be bound

Callow youth plunging into morass.

VI.

That's more than enough from netherfield

Only fluff from her inked quill-feather yield

If all she's got is sap

Go get yourself a nap

Her fic's future fate is better sealed.

Try it at home. It's fun.

Limerick: Function: noun. Etymology: Limerick, Ireland

–a light or humorous verse of 5 chiefly anapestic verses of which lines 1, 2, and 5 are of 3 feet and lines 3 and 4 are of 2 feet with a rhyme scheme of aabba.

Note: Drinking wine while writing a limerick is, of course, not required. But, I guarantee it will help with your rhyming. With the counting of feet, syllables, and figuring out the stresses and so forth, not so much.
