On guard sah!

Hmm,
Only one has tried here,
One could surely shed a tear,
Lack of zest,
For poetic quest,
Has made ye dull I fear.

I checked out the Frontroom today
and what should I happen to see,
but a man with no hat,
who wouldn't admit that
limericks are totally gay!

Most daring of you fine sir!
To give the pot a stir!
But the second line..
It undermines,
The quality of your slur..

Stopped by to check out this thread---
And an idea popped into my head
That I'd sit here and rhyme
And waste all my time....
I probably should head off to bed....

Now you see this is the sort,
Of chap who makes good sport!
His rhythm charms,
There's nought he harms,
And his verse is finely wrought!

Upon further and closer inspection
You'll find that my rhyme reaches perfection.
Speak with accent if you may,
Pronounce "see" like it's "say";
Plus, your gaffe earns your charge a rejection!

That rhyme was as forced as 'twas weak,
Your defense was quite tired (nay, peaked).
"Reaches" untied
The scan of your line,
Replace it with "is" and it's tweaked.
