Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?

I used to write a lot of limericks here, in comments to make fun of people who attacked me.  My rule is that it had to be done within five minutes of me starting it or it was taking too much time.  That one almost didn't make it in on the end of the last line but it snuck in under the five minute mark. 

Maybe I should do more of that again.   Used to do BurmaShave style poems, scores of them during the Bush II regime.  That was a more forgiving form.  all lost to the old Haloscan system that went down long, long ago.  I doubt I've thought about them even once for years. 

Update:  I said "neiges d'antan," not merdre d'enfant.   I'll leave the latter to you.
