Look, you can have either an amphibranch ( - / - ) or an anapest ( - - / ) in lines 1, 2, and 5, but you CANNOT have varying syllable counts! LINES 1, 2, AND 5
MUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF SYLLABLES!
Therefore, those limericks would have to drop the excess syllables as follows:
There once was a young mod named Bond
was witty and all thought him fond
Til one night he choke[d]
[on one] puerile joke
Aware of his shame he['d] abscond
There once was a hottie named monk
Who [w]as know[n] to act like a punk
This gal was quite rude
She started a feud
who messes with Bond [will be] sunk[/quote]
Now, they don't make a lot of sense grammatically, but lyrically they're all cleaned up. Reword as necessary for grammatical correctness.
METER AND RHYME, FOLKS! METER AND RHYME!
