Had turned to most vile Heresy,
But worse yet his greed
Was what prompted this deed
So let him ab-ash-ed now be.

Malenkai's limerick:
There's a dude whose proposals are cheesesnowgod's limerick:
Who plagues us with snowgod's disease
Sponging our bandwidth
'Till there's nary a byte left
Were it on paper we'd have no more trees
There once was a man most exhaltedOn Jan 4, 1997, the results were posted. There were 4 votes each, so by the Limerick rules, the winner is the one whose limerick was posted first (Malenkai).
who's logic could rarely be faulted
but his skill as a bard
left his dignity marred.
To save face, he should just have defaulted.
The duel was meant to determine the title of the biggest bandwidth waster.
Red Barn's Limerick
Snowgod has wasted our time,snowgod's Limerick:
But his wasting is not worth a dime.
For I've caused quite a fury,
Of eyes being blurry,
And say that the record is mine.
A player who's name was quite fineOn Jan 25 the results were posted. Initially it appeared snowgod won 8 to 7, but upon the discovery of an illegal vote by the Evil Ballot Stuffer, it was found to be a tie, 7 to 7, so Red Barn won due to having posted his Limerick first.
tried changing his name to a crime
before he started complaining
that the rules keep changing.
I think he was losing his mind.
breadbox's Limerick:
R. Sevin, that toothy shoehorn,Robert Sevin's Limerick:
Cried: "Flat! I believe! I'm newborn!
And that bandwidth hobgoblin,
I'LL sandwich his problem ...
In fire!!" The rest is true corn.
There once was a man from Nantucket,At Sun, 2 Feb 1997 03:15:18 +0200 (EET) the results were posted.
Whose harf more than filled his bucket,
He gave harf away,
'til many did say,
"Please, sir, harf on your way!"
Malenkai's Limerick:
T'was a treasure hunter so lame/dev/joe's Limerick:
Despite his undeserved fame
Desperate for clues
Goads me into these duels
When he should be watching Parades
Malenkai buried lots of stuffAt Sun, 2 Feb 1997 03:15:18 +0200 (EET) the results were posted.
With no maps and clues that were tough.
The numbers he's teasin'
Have no rhyme or reason
And I think they're nothing but guff.
This duel was called over Narf's implication in CFJ 370's reasoning that past CFJ judges have broken the rules by proving or disproving the reasoning rather than the statement of the CFJ.

two-star's Limerick
Their votes some endeavored to place
Through Common Gateway Interface.
Their names I've discovered;
Soon I'll have recovered
A prize for a poem of grace.
two-star's second Limerick (!)
I, posting a duel verse that claims
a prize for a listing of names,
mis-sent it and so am
revising my poem
and sending it to acka-games.
