There was a bigot named Mark Pee

His postings in M.H.-A
Were can you say
Laughable, because he is only Mark Pee.

Always has to be right even when wrong
Old Mark Pee, does not belong
Raving about issues he does not know
No personal experience makes him a no-go
Isn't it time, Mark Pee, that you said so long?

Your sense of meter is as execrable as your rhyming is inelegant.

Brilliant!

My minor suggestion for improvement:

There once was a woman named Drew
Whose postings are that of a shrew
If you rouse her ire
She'll call you a LIAR
And an atheist or a Jew.

I think it flows a little better, don't you? ;-)

No, because you're mixing past and present tense.

OK, OK, how about:

There once was a woman named Drew
Whose postings were that of a shrew
If you roused her ire
She'd call you a LIAR
And an atheist or a Jew.

A modest bit of refinement:

There once was a woman named Drew,
Whose postings were those of a shrew.
When one raised her ire,
She'd call him a LIAR,
Or Satanist, athiest, or Jew!

That's a Negatory, Good Buddy!
This is sinking to Jan's level:

Once was a woman Jan Drew
Who Love to Handle Her Pooh.
Looking for Parasites

OK, but stick to cancer surgery and saving lives in the future. There are
enough critics in the world.

Wrong, wannabe journalist/logically impaired!

See what I said? 'such brilliant poetry'????

I was referring to what I wrote.

Actually, that is not sinking to her level. Sinking to her level would
involve making bigoted attacks, which Mark and I will not do.

The only laughable thing here is your incredibly poor attempt at
writing a limerick. You're no better a poet than you are a
"journalist."
