It isn't even usually poetry. A few years ago it was the Great Klingon Affix
Contest. The object was to come up with a three word sentence using as many
affixes as possible. The resulting sentence had to be grammatically legal,
but I don't think it had to actually make sense.
Perhaps we should try to convince Lawrence to have a round 2 of the Limerick
competition.
