An ogre with no time for jesters,
Thought, "I'll clobber the next one who pesters!"
Along slidled a drunken Iokus,
Who just couldn't keep focus...
And got fed - once clobbered - to Festus.

Well done to the three who followed me, that's a good one (even if it doesn't quite scan at one point and "iocus" doesn't rhyme with "focus" [rather with "block us"]), and unlike many of the others more or less makes sense (not that they have to make sense, of course)! To proceed (slightly tricky, I hope):

"iocus" doesn't rhyme with "focus"
I recall Brother Mace pronouncing it to rhyme with 'focus', and I for one am not prepared to fault him. And though I've never met Iokus (the jester from RPG5), I've heard his name spoken aloud several times to rhyme with 'focus' too.
Back to the limerick at hand...

In which case, there should be a rule against posting simply to denigrate the contributions of another forum user.
If you're that disenchanted with my line, then proffer an alternative.

Use of additional emoticons to indicate facetiousness might have helped. The written word isn't always that nuanced on its own, especially online. I may not be winked at all that much in real life, but I've never yet seen the winking emoticon overused on the internet.
As for whether a rhyme is obvious, that depends on individual contributors' interpretations. Some may not think it obvious, others may appreciate the guidance. And even with the most strongly implied rhyme, there is still plenty of scope for creativity.

Must you? If so, there should be a rule against obvious rhymes.
Well, I rather thought Grettel being interwoven into this was ingenious!

So I'll go with it!
And I'm still looking up sambre to be honest!
