sionnach commented on the word chlodovech
Is this, like, some kind of Merovingian limerick challenge, perchance?
I once had a gerbil named Clovis
who was often caught nibbling on Hovis
til grandma Baba-Yaga
just fired up the Aga
and grilled him from tail to proboscis*
* - poetic licence
(since some have objected to the novelty-rhyme "Hovis-proboscis", another possibility is to use what might be termed the 'standard Edward Lear copout ending', e.g.
so 'twas Viking last rites for poor Clovis,
or, if you prefer a little gibberish -
now Clovis sings "dona pro nobis"
Sheesh.. Everyone's a critic

*grooaaan* Hovis - proboscis?! I think you should check the date on your license, Fox.

rolig commented on the word chlodovech
Well, this is more Bilby's thing. But here's a first attempt:
I once had a gerbil named Clovis
whose passion for Hovis cake drove us
mad till we bought him
a cookbook and taught him
to make it: He knows where the stove is!

chained_bear commented on the word chlodovech
*applauds* Clovis would be proud. Even though he probably would have preferred a nice empty cereal box to chew on, or perhaps a cardboard paper-towel roll.
*waits for sionnach (or bilby) to throw down*

sionnach commented on the word chlodovech
I certainly hope I know how to be gracious in defeat. Bows in awe to rolig's infinitely superior versification.
(But aren't you glad I prodded you, said the fox, craftily)

rolig commented on the word chlodovech
Thank you, thank you, everyone. To the Irish Fox, it's true: I couldn't have done it without you. Your graciousness in conceding this minor defeat in a truly impressive career of superlative Wordie divertissements is entirely in character. Bilby, you are one of the inspiring spirits of the Wordie aether, and I humbly acknowledge my debt to you. Chained_Bear, it was an honor to limericize your beloved Clovis; may he rest in peace with his gerbilline fore_bears. And to the Archduke Karl Ferdinand (my suspicion is well known that his Excellency has assumed a rather flimsy Belgian incognito), thanks for starting things off with the list of his illustrious Frankish ancestors.
