Grex Enigma Item 138: Look it up, dickweed.
Entered by md on Mon Nov 22 15:51:53 UTC 1993:

     Enjambment is fine, in its place,
     But not in a limerick.  The pace
       Of the meter is badly
       Disrupted, and, sadly,
     You end up with egg on your face.

        I don't know that we should be so stuck
        On adhering to form.  What the f oh never mind...

   Enjoinment is flying about the place.
     I wish I could sing a ballad,
   Of words that speak with gentle grace,
     About the taste of a nice egg salad.

        "I think that you're wrong," said the pro-
        Fessor, and it is clear that his know-
           Ledge of the fac-
           Tual as well as the prac-
        Tical side of things makes him a pro.

There is a conference called "writing," just so y'all know.

The Enigma conference already is what the Writing conference only
aspires to be.

Minimalist poetry
  is very hard
    in this context.

I can
 never find a word
    to rhyme with

enjambment
