Attention Limericists, (and Ze)

I've recently found a new site wherein the goal is to write a limerick for every word in the english language.

The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form

The standards for limericks are very high. Perfect rhyme, meter, style and a good definition to boot. Once you've submitted a defining limerick it goes through a workshopping phase where people collaborate with you on it to see if it can be made better.

some of my entries:
http://www.oedilf.com/db/Lim.php?Word=bimetal

http://www.oedilf.com/db/Lim.php?VerseId=77344 "baritone horn"

So, give it a look, and some of you who have huge amounts of inspiration could make a big dent in the work going on over there.

Note: The words being worked on are being phased in alphabetically. Right now only words from a to bn are being accepted. So it goes without saying that this is going to be a long process lasting decades if not generations.

Ze: A while ago you requested info on online collaborative institutions for your talk. Check this one out and see if it fits.
