OEDILF Limericks!

[cherydactyl]

tlatoani recently mentioned the OEDILF (Omnificent Englidh Dictionary in Limerick Form): http://www.oedilf.com/. I was quite intrigued.

I've submitted two limericks so far. Here they are.

This one has undergone a bit of workshopping and got some comlimentary mentions "for a first contribution." At least one workshopper thinks it's RFA (ready for approval) :)

Bel canto’s a style operatic
For those who like music dramatic.
A diva will sing,
Using clear tones that ring,
With technique that you'll find quite emphatic.

This one I just submitted today and I think it will need more work:

Searching archives, the bibilotist
Found papers that others had missed.
Through bibliotics he showed,
By dissection of mode,
That Brahms’ Lullaby was not written by Liszt.

Bolded words are words being defined in the limerick (hopefully, anyway).

Any comments or suggestions you care to make?

I don't see why I shouldn't dare you. You probably could do it. I suppose you might curse me while you were working on it, but maybe I should risk it. ;-)
