JUN 15, creative anachronism (Latin authors) ... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDrJJ

Authors' Note: When writers distort historic timelines intentionally or inadvertently in concocting their plots, they are said to write anachronistically.

Most of the above-mentioned Roman poets have also been discussed individually elsewhere on the OEDILF site. Many of these figures have had their true Latin names altered considerably to fit our Anglo-Latin construct. Apparently, however, none of these authors adopted the limerick format in their poetry.

Along the same lines, readers are invited to review our small but growing collection of "creative anachronisms" on our blog "Edifying Nonsense" by clicking HERE.

JUN 11, defining opinion: hone

Authors' Note:  Fawn, an aspiring limericist, had been advised to carefully hone one of her submitted verses.

 

Our blogpost "Defining Opinion" on the topic-based blog "Edifying Nonsense" shows a selection of similar verses submitted to OEDILF (the online Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form). You can see all of these on one visit by clicking HERE.

Many of the illustrated verses about these birds as observed and photographed in these locales can be reviewed on our earlier posts. 

JUN 9, mythed opportunities: shooting dice with Satan (hosta)

 Author's Note: Many floriculturists would sell their souls to find a cultivar of the lush perennial hosta, Hosta spp., whose foliage would persist through the winter. Although the plant routinely dies back during icy months, it usually returns in the following spring.

John Milton's epic work Paradise Lost, and the crapshoot are described in other verses.

JUN 5, mammalian wildlife: "selfie with bison"

Authors' Note: It's hard to believe that there was a 'responsible driver' who let this young person out of the car to take this picture (isolated from a published video), but there you are. 

In national parks in both Canada and the United States, there are fines imposed for approaching wildlife too closely, and signage usually makes this abundantly clear.

A verse, and more pictures of the American bison (buffalo), can be found on this post. 

JUN 4, organic brain poetry: hyperthyroid mania

 

Authors' Note: 

TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as thyrotropin, initialism for a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in a feedback loop that regulates production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland

Hyperthyroid states in which the level of TSH is reduced include Graves' disease, subacute thyroiditis (inflammation of the gland), autonomous thyroid nodules and excessive thyroid hormone replacement. Hyperthyroidism in which the blood level of TSH is found to be elevated is extremely uncommon, related to very rare functioning tumours of the pituitary gland.

The operation of the feedback loop in relation to states of thyroid deficiency is discussed here.

JUN 1, Canadiana: Mounties (horses)

Authors' Note: Spokesperson "Miki" is a Canadian woman of Japanese extraction who is a "Mountie", common moniker for a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a name deriving from the service's early days. Horses now play only a minor role in the RCMP's primary goal, the enforcement of federal criminal law; they are still used for crowd-control maneuvers, and in public spectacles, including the well-reputed "Musical Ride". Since 1966, however, horseback riding is no longer a mandatory skill required in the training of new officers. 

  Under contract, the RCMP also provides policing service to eight of Canada's ten provinces (Ontario and Quebec being the exceptions), the three Canadian northern territories, and 600 indigenous communities. Under its purview are towns such as Whitehorse, Yukon, and Hay River, Northwest Territories. 

You can review poems, pictures and diverse nonsense related to Canada on the post "Canadiana" on our full-service blog  "Edifying Nonsense".
