A chess poem

Surely, then you recognize that your second stanza is not a limerick at all, rather a sestet in (mostly) iambic tetrameter. Limericks (though not invariably five lines long), are anapæstic.

Actually, that is true. I was thinking that very thing when I posted that post. Thank you. I know what you mean. Limericks are actually songs. Why didn't you just say it that way? But, I wouldn't take posts so seriously as to correct people and show your immense pretentiousness like you have. But, thank you anyway. Oh, and I said that for effect - not correctness. In fact, when I typed it, I knew it was incorrect as you say.
