This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

Literally just did this just now
My employers have foolishly seen fit to equip all staff with an internal Instant Messenger service. Ostensibly this is in order to communicate cheaply with offshore colleagues based in India, but so far 100% of my usage of it has been winding up colleagues I could easily go and say stuff to the face of.

Moments ago, an obviously bored colleague called Laura sent me a hilarious rhyming couplet, equating my surname (Berry) to another fruit which sounds very similar. I have obviously never heard this before at all ever. It may have been a little cruel to respond with a quick'n'dirty limerick, which ran thus...

The girl's name was Laura Brown
She wore a resplendent ballgown
I fancied my luck
And said "Wanna fuck?"
Turns out the mongface had Downs

Why am I doing it wrong? She's actually really quite fit...

You're
one syllable short in your first and last lines so yeah you're doing it wrong.

(second last line too but that one scans ok)

Seconded
The stresses are all wrong so it won't scan no matter how you arse around with the timing.

Because you've got a girlfriend
who's fit and nice, and you don't want to be nasty with her because you love her?

Just tell her you didn't mean the bit about her being a mong
Then you're doing it right.

I disagree
She will like you more for calling her mongface. You're pulling her pigtails, so to speak, and this will be a lot more effective than showering her with compliments like some sort of sycophant.
