You have new messages, but no more after this!!!

Since there are about sixteen Romes in just the USA, can we simply end each line with a different Rome? I know Greg would say no, but he's not here, soooo...?

BTW, did the wolf in the story of the original Rome have a name? Did the expression, "sucking hind tit" come about as a result of Remus' subordinate position?

Geoff, if you can make a meaningful limerick about five different Romes, I say go for it.

Ahh, that word "meaningful". I can't make a meaningful limerick out of one Rome! I wrote some non-meaningful ones, though.

At a meeting, but I'll think and hopefully send one tomorrow.

I have several so far, and of good technical quality, but more is always merrier. Have at it, folks!

Sent mine.

Thill sinking. Err... Ill stinking... Oh, damn that Mr Spooner! I'll get one in eventually.

Still wanting entries from several regular contributors. You know who you are!

Mine is in. I didn't think I was going to like it, but in the end I'd have to give it a B+, i think. It's not an A, though.

I did submit something. Ugh...

I've forgotten how to write these things. Senility has set in.

We make a great team, Geoff! You have forgotten and I still haven't learned. Some of the ones that get the most votes, I don't think are good and at other times, I agree that they are. I guess I am unable to assess their quality very well.

I'll tell you when the contest is completed. LOL
PS: It doesn't mean any of them are good!

I hadn't expected Rome to be hard to rhyme.

Geoff, to answer your question, my limerick is in Hab's private messages.

Speaking of Rome, I recently watched a video rendering of Ken Follett's "The Pillars of The Earth." It depicted England when it was still under the religious control of Rome. If you like blood, gore, treachery, and a zillion plot twists, watch it. Great cast! If you read fifty times faster than I do, read the novel.

I'd like to post these Saturday morning 8/25 or even Friday evening, so we can give them due consideration and vote over the weekend. Still missing one regular participant, though.

I'm still not receiving your posts, Hab, despite having repeatedly switched off the "hide posts" option. This is In - scrutable!

...and bizarrely enough I just yesterday found your profile checked as blocked on my devices. Ineffable indeed...

Only my profile? How about if I face you?

This place has gremlins! Or maybe a golem?

I found my problem (and fixed it) on the Go To > Personal Zone > Ignore List screen, and working from there. Is that where you’ve been?

Yes. It doesn't seem to understand my requests to quit blocking you, hence the supernatural considerations.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can't wait to see what rhymes everyone else used.

The results are here, and they make a nice tome. Vote early and often !
