one more day please

A corpse isn't done when it's still
We could provide it a thrill
With will there's a way
To play one more day
Provided someone pays the bill

Sotto Poet Date: 5/18/2024 10:08:00 AM Dear Duke, such an exceptional limerick poem exploring the notion of reviving a deceased body for a single day, contingent upon someone's willingness to bear the cost. The limerick revolves around the peculiar and darkly comic notion of providing a final thrill to the gorgeous tribute singer Joe Diffie, who passed away from Covid, and whom you seem to adore. The limerick's word selection is superb, emphasizing its conveying of the peculiar idea lucidly. The incorporation of rhyme and a lighthearted tone enhances the fanciful quality of the poetry. The term "thrill" is notable due to its juxtaposition with the solemn subject of death.

Silent One Date: 5/18/2024 4:51:00 AM I love the playful morbidity of this limerick! It takes a lighthearted approach to a rather grim subject, offering a humorous take on the idea of a corpse being revived for one last day of fun. The rhyme scheme flows smoothly, and the punchline delivers a clever twist that's sure to bring a chuckle. It's a witty reminder that with a bit of willpower (and perhaps a generous payment), anything is possible—even giving a corpse one more day of excitement. A delightfully dark and entertaining piece.
