Just to support your point here: It's always surprised me how many people don't understand scansion/meter. It's a more important part of poetry than rhyme is. Limericks have a very strict meter, which makes it almost impossible to write a proposal as a single limerick because there's just not enough room to fit in all the necessary boilerplate and a reasonable payload before you run out of syllables. (I guess it'd be less bad if you merely wanted to change the gamestate rather than creating a rule.) -- ais523
