Comment from Y. M. Roger
Awesomely 'ad-libbed' last line there!! :) Great one, my lady!! Thanx for joining the fun this month! ;)
Please understand that this is a ridiculously abbreviated (and cut/paste) response for me, but I have been (still am!) in the midst of converting everything to online learning for the mandated school closings for the foreseeable future. Once I get 'ahead' in this 'change of venues' (i.e., instruction in cyberspace - lol!), I promise to be back to 'me' in my responses... you know, the crazy blonde fantasy chick! ;) ;)
Be safe and, remember, if you see any offerings/reviews from me, they are my 'escape' from this insanity... you know, my pressure release valve!! ;) ;)
Take care of you and we'll be sailing smoothly again in a few more days... hopefully!

wow - you have a job before you. Good thing you're such a smart gal!
What a life change everyone's going through.
It is so strange not being able to go to grocery, etc.
Promised fam I'd stay put as I am compromised with COPD and I ain't young no mo.
I think shelves, drawers and desktop are all saying, "Ok, kiddo, the time is NOW. Straighten, throw out, and unclutter." aarrgghh.
Good luck with your transition. Sounds daunting.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork
and presentation.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-A well written pair of limericks.
-I like the first one about
how Caesar was a non-pleaser.
-In the second, I like how
the "senators were not besotted."
-Effective use of language to
emulate the time period, too.
-A good ending with "Not an et tu Bruté.
-Good luck in the contest.

thanks, Pam. I appreciate your reading it and your comments.
I hope it qualifies, because I don't think its what Tom, et al had in mind.
-
You are welcome. I don't know why it wouldn't. I don't think Tom does the contest judging, though.
-
hope you're right. thanks.

You are welcome:)
Comment from victor 66
I think this was a very, very good limerick . And I especially appreciated the knowledge imparted in the authors notes. But, just Caesar died that day . He could've stepped off a curve or fallen in front of the chariot. Does anyone really know what happened? Best wishes.

Bless you for the 6!! and for your comments. I really appreciate both!
As to Caesar's death, a bunch of cowardly senators knifed him to death.

You are most welcome. But with conspiracy theories, But you'd think They could've made it look like an accident.

Fact or fiction, revisionist or accurate... don't know, don't care - this was funny (for a murder), with clever rhymes in the humorous manner of a true limerick. Now all we need is the grubby bit!!

Comment from KyColonel Randal
Thank you for sharing this poem. I love that you have chosen this story, a Shakespearean favorite of mine, for the dueling limericks Ides of March contest. I find the whole presentation makes me what to research further, even though I am fairly certain I learned the true story some time ago. I love history and where history and literature intersect.

well, I certainly took liberties with history and probably this was where history and literature collided. :)
but I hadn't known before today that Brutus of the "et tu" wasn't true.
Thank you for reading and for your nice comments.
