The king loved to hunt that's for sure Until viciously attacked by a boar He'd drunk too much wine, Fell victim to Cersei's design, So his life, quoth the raven, was nevermore!
Ser Davos used to smuggle by sea, Till over him Stannis scored a victory. He then lost his fingers . . .

There once was a dragon to dread Spreading fear as he flew overhead But there's no fighting back...

wizzthesmith , I've been checking back but didn't look carefully enough to realize you'd begun another Limerick in your next to the last post! All I kept seeing was the last post ( loved your Poe'tic pun!), but I didn't realize you'd started another one until now. There once was a dragon to dread Spreading fear as he flew overhead But there's no fighting back When wings and fire power you lack, And to the dragon you're about to be fed! In Bravos there was a House of Black and White. To even come near caused most people great fright. But Arya wasn't scared . . .

Haha, I have been thinking I should've posted my new limerick second, the Poe'tic inspiration came after I had posted. Sorry if I threw you a curve ball. ( loved your Poe'tic pun!), Thanks. Corvidae can actually talk and be trained to speak certain words, in fact they have been known to imitate many sounds. Some people have regular visits from these birds and take it upon themselves to teach them, and others are trained as pets. Whatever the case may be I thought you may enjoy this YouTube clip of a raven who's been taught Poe!!

Whatever the case may be I thought you may enjoy this YouTube clip of a raven who's been taught Poe!! Cool! And the "Nevermore" sounded just like a man's voice - so human! So ... wondering if he could be taught to say "Corn!" - or "Snow!"

There was a great knight, Ser Baristan Selmy. Of his feats and exploits, the children said, "Tell me!" Joff thought him too old,

So ... wondering if he could be taught to say "Corn!" - or "Snow!" Haha, for sure! That should be the next YouTube video of these amazing birds, corn...corn king...Snow... Although Poe is quite impressive. It's late so I will return to complete your latest limerick. Good night.

There once was a fierce Dothraki Who really looked rather tacky. To Dany he was wed . . .

wizzthesmith, I LOVE Dolorous Edd - I should do a reread, if only to go back over his hilarious comments. T'was a castle in clouds way up high, Seems the Eyrie was built in the sky. There's a beautiful view, But there's a Moon Door, too, Through which Lord Baelish made Lysa fly! There once was a King, name of Stannis. But his brother, man, he sure did 'dis'! He teamed with a Red Witch . . .
