DOOWAH AND HORATIAN SATIRE


The Doo-wah Application to My Blog is for Pure Fun and Fantasy. I Like to Think it is as Therapeutic for Release of Tension and Anxiety. I have posted what I believe to be Interesting and Amusing and added the elements of Game Interaction as well.

My Intent with Gentle Satire Here, is Tongue-in-Cheek for the purpose of Amusement, and to Allow the Viewer Questioning Contemplation and Thoughtful Peruse.

I Believe it is along the line of Horatian Satire. Horatian Satire is Named after the Roman satirist, Horace; this type of satire playfully criticizes some social vice through gentle, mild, and light-hearted humour. "It directs wit, exaggeration, and self-deprecating humour toward what it identifies as folly, rather than evil. Horatian satire's sympathetic tone is common in modern society...." (as Defined by the Wikipedia)

The Limerick Challenge - You Can Write Your Own Limerick Here!

According to wikipedia A limerick is a five-line poem in anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme scheme (aabba), which intends to be witty or humorous and sometimes a bit risque.  The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth usually rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables. The defining "foot" of a limerick's meter is usually the anapaest, (ta-ta-TUM), but limericks can also be considered amphibrachic (ta-TUM-ta).
The first line traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines.

You too can write a limerick!  I challenge anyone to write your own limerick in the COMMENT Section below, just for fun.  Just Click on the Comment section and submit your own completed limerick.  Remember, 1st, second and 5th lines rhyme, and the third & fourth rhyme with each other.  Don't forget to sign it as your own!  Let's see how many variations we can get.  Please refrain from submission f you have a tendency to be quite nasty .....

  1. I went to my job at the mall
    upon my face i did fall
    I got off for the day
    and i went home to play
    and the rest of my day was a ball
