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 donât know, man,
he stoned himself into next week.
Heâs renowned as a poetry nerd,
because listen, donât 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 âsaxo cere-comminuit-brumâ, which translates to âwith-a-rock [he] br-shattered-ainâ. 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. Youâre supposed to have one mono, one duo.
âOlli respondit rex Albai Longaiâ
it has been said, but I just donât know why
he had hexlified buffers
so everyone suffers
when they type M-x sonus-egeriai.
