A fun double lymeric with an ode to doctor frankenfuter... I like that the second limerick has a sassiness about it that runs in line with frankenfurter's personality, too.

Tim Curry is just something to watch, (in a good way) in that film.
Nice job with this poem, Craig.

A very well-written Limerick about the strange ideas people seem to come up with to make a certain statement about themselves and about their preferences.

Haha! I so enjoyed this. Fun and creative! Love your title "Frank and Beans". :) This was just a delightfully fun read, Craig. Can you believe I only just saw Rocky Horror Picture show for the first time a few months ago? Where have I been? "Let's not have a domestic" is my fave line ... clever! You taught me two new words, agrestic and orchestic. I'm going to try to remember and use them both.

Great job on this, Craig! ~~ Connie

Hey Craig, do we get to throw toast and stuff? Is this a Rocky Horror Picture Show get together revival?

Excellent job with a fine new word, and your inspiration for the day and perhaps weeks to come.

Neat word. :)

    I'm all for a FS Rocky Horror themed shindig, Gloria. My place has plenty of room - name the date! :) Cheers, Craig

"Let's not have a domestic" - haha! Again, great originality with the rhymes you have used here. I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show quite a few times. It was kind of a thing in my hometown to get dressed up as one of the characters and go see the show at midnight.
Nice job, Craig, I love your sense of humor,
Carol

I missed out on pop culture, I guess. But I liked the double limerick! And I was quite surprised at seeing "orchestic" as an English word because in Russian it is the word for orchestra. My favorite folksinger, Okhudzhava, has a line in one of his songs:
The hope of a small orchestra under the direction of love

What a collection of unlikely rhymes. All those odd words work together beautifully. I wonder why orchestric has to do with dance and not musical instruments? Makes less sense than twindle! :)

    I seem to remember it was originally used to describe dance performances, but the meaning gradually shifted to the musicians who sat by the stage and accompanied them. Something like that. Cheers, Craig

For decades I've fended off Rocky Picture Horror Show. I was stubborn then, I'm stubborn still. But one can't be my age without absorbing some of the vibe of the film.

Agrestic is the only word I hadn't heard. I'll try to slip it into my lexicon. I use words like quaint and rude. But agrestic might add another arrow to my quaint quiver.

I love the limerick form.

Peace, Lee

    I didn't know of the word myself until a couple of years ago, when a store/restaurant opened nearby called "The Agrestic Grocer" - which sent me diving for my dictionary. Many thanks, Lee.

Super job on this one (as all of them), Craig. This one was a four-worder in your poem for the price of one. LOL! I have NOT seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show but must. Marilyn

    Yes, Marilyn, you must :) I'm sure it would be on Netflix or some other media. Many thanks, Craig
