That the right to break one's own rule and post two lines of the same limerick is somehow protected?

1.) Only one line at a time from any one poster.
This exercise in "getting along" :roll: was meant to be at least like tennis, at best, 5 individuals contributing to a given limerick.

Not that you'll be seeing this, I guess! :roll: :D
Dang, Scoob...over-react much? I was talking about my own personal "rule" of not posting two lines in the same limerick, which I broke in the last one. I hadn't even noticed that you had, as well, until now. I like these things, and would post every other line if I didn't enforce some restraint on myself. I thought I was being witty, but c'est la vie.

Sorry to step on toes and be unclear, and for the excessive comments. To perhaps repair the damage?...
