Today’s Music: Blind Faith – Can’t Find My Way Home
Well, here we are, rapidly closing in on the finish. Almost all the adult authority figures that are going to die importantly already have. And so, the final journey begins.
After much walking and walking and running and walking, Sam and Frodo Harry and Hermione (and Ron) finally end up with a proper plan that they hope will work.
So let us begin the limericky bastardization of book seven of JK Rowlings magnificent Opus! (Not the penguin.)
Book Seven – Part One
Find the Horcruxii was what Harry must do.
Set off with friends to defeat You Know Who…
But just like the flick –
though it might make you sick –
this limerick will be split into two.
*Apologies to Elyse for following the movies (not the books) to get in that extra limerick, and Lisa, who might actually dislike limericks.
For those of you with calendars (or a low tolerance for pain), we will wrap this up on 31 July, Harry Potter’s Birthday.
So you may want to steer clear until after that…
hehehe

I certainly enjoy your Harry Potter limericks. AND, I like your ‘horcruxii’ word…very inventive.

Once again, I have no idea how accurately your limerick tells the Harry Potter plot lines, but I do admire the song choice. Can’t Find My Way Home is one of my favorite songs – love Steve Winwood’s voice!

In the interests of all nitpickers out there…. wouldn’t the correct conjugation of Horcrux be Horcrae? My Latin is pretty rusty, and my Greek is non-existent, but it seems to me that I saw one time how Latin words ending in -us conjugate to -i for the plural, and those with -x endings became -ae, as in octopus to octopi, and horcrux to horcrae…. etc. Just wondering…. nice Limericks, btw…. 🙂
LikeLike
Even rusty Latin is better than mine, gigoid.
I bow humbly to your superior linguistic skills!
And thanks!
LikeLike
No worries, mate… I guess we both should realize that the word Horcrux isn’t Latin, Greek, or any other language, except the one J.K. Rowling had in mind…. 🙂 That means Horcruxii is just as valid as any other conjugation, which is good because it would be easier to rhyme, I think. Just sayin’….. 😉

Opus! I haven’t thought of Bloom County in ages. Thanks for that, I miss that comic. I didn’t realize that the plural of horcrux was horcruxii—I like this.

LOL … that would be fun. Idea: We could write a biography with consecutive limericks. For instance, we pick a person, one of us writes the first limerick and then passes it to the other who writes the second, and then returns it, and so on.
