Today’s Rhyming Challenge (Limerick)
Sometimes I challenge myself by using a hard-to-rhyme word in a limerick. In today’s case, it’s “latrinalia,” which means stuff written or drawn on bathroom walls.
Now before you say, “Lots of things rhyme with latrinalia, according to Rhymezone,” let me add that Rhymezone is WRONG!
Since the Final Stressed Syllable of latrinalia is NAL, true rhyme words must end in “alia” preceded by a Different Consonant, such as AuSTRalia, or mamMalia, or reGalia, or the two words I use in this limerick:
If you happen to read latrinalia,
You won’t find any sesquipedalia,
You’ll see swear words and gripes
Writ by marginal types,
But no poems inspired by Thalia.

Mad, I love your limerick! I must try to stammer out some sort of
“marginal type” response to it. (How’d I do w/meter and rhyme?)
When a King wants to write latrinalia,
He won’t bother with pomp or regalia.
When alone in the room
With no ink for his plume,
He’ll make use of his grand genitalia.

LOL! Well done!
