JUL 21, terminal (poetic) exclamation: KA-POW!




Authors' Note: 
Ka-pow! (variant kerpow!): comic-book type interjection for a noise emitted when a blow is landed in a fight (often involving a super-hero)
Line 6: occasionally used sixth line of a limerick, unheard of in the early days of the modality, finding some currency among modern authors. See our poem on  "Addendum-icitis" HERE
The limericks written by Edward Lear and his contemporaries a century ago often included repetition of the poem's key word at the end of the final line.
