# "that's" is fine
But oblidged is not
edit: Nice work, btw

# with the that's it goes 10 syllables then 9 in the next line
should be the same.

# Oh. Right.
I thought you were concerned about the apostrophe. D'oh!
But anyway, it's still fine - it's to do with the meter, not the exact number of syllables

# If a things worth doing
it's worth over complicating untill you eventually get so frustrated you give up.

# Good point, well made.
If I was the kind of git who wore clothes with writing on them,
I'd have that on a t-shirt.

# yes
and more work :P

There's probably some incredibly easy way to do this in after effects but I have photoshop and little patience. :D

Edit: a limerick should run
1. a number of syllables
2. same number as line 1.
3. a shorter ammount than line 1: around 5-7.
4. same as 3.
5. same as 1 + 2

Plus your regimented ammount of tum ti tuming.

# no no no
For the meter to be correct, the stressed syllables in lines 1,2,5 must match, and the same for lines 3 and 4

# my google search in yore has let me down then
I'm sticking with making syllables match though.

When I remember how to count, that is.

# There was an old man of Tralee
who was stung on the neck by a wasp
when asked "does it hurt"
he replied "no, it doesn't;
I'm so glad it wasn't a hornet!"

I'm disappointed with my own ignorance.
