The Poison and the Cure
Discover the medicine maybe abuse it The day could arrive when you choose to refuse it Live it and breathe it Or take it or leave it With patience and time you can learn how to use it
In many of my less whimsical limericks, like this one, I extend lines 1, 2, and 5 to include 4 accented syllables instead of the conventional 3 (12 syllables instead of 9, more or less). Always just 2 accented syllables in lines 3 and 4.
