The limericks you see here all started life on Twitter – love it or hate it. Here’s my response to today’s hashtag – #WhyIJoinedTwitter.
I had some spare time I could fritter/
Attempting to make people titter,/
Reporting our times/
In limerick rhymes -/
That’s pretty much #WhyIJoinedTwitter.
The word ‘titter’ flummoxed at least one North American (?) tweeter, so may be specifically Brit. It’s notable not least from the comedian Frankie Howerd’s catchphrase ‘Titter Ye Not’.
