There once was a poet in Latin
whose lyrical talent would flatten
and listeners shock
when he picked up a rock
and with force to his brain he put that in.
It is said that in Oscan and Greek
his talents were humble and meek
compared to his Roman
where wow, I donāt know, man,
he stoned himself into next week.
Heās renowned as a poetry nerd,
because listen, donāt know if you heard,
his iambs and trochees
would shiver their knees
because he would just shatter a word.

jcowan had written:
Ennius, the Latin poet, wrote āsaxo cere-comminuit-brumā, which translates to āwith-a-rock [he] br-shattered-ainā. Ennius wrote poems in Latin, Greek, and Oscan, but only his Latin is preserved.
I messed up by having all monosyllabics in the third limerick. Youāre supposed to have one mono, one duo.
āOlli respondit rex Albai Longaiā
it has been said, but I just donāt know why
he had hexlified buffers
so everyone suffers
when they type M-x sonus-egeriai.
