    There is a man here known as Scotty.
    Who's obsessed with all things from his botty.
    But when he's called scat.
    Well he doesn't like that.
    So he sniffs and then gets all snotty.

    This one is arguably better but there's still the obsession with the "." This one might get you a 8/10 were it not for the second last line; no educated person uses "Well" in such a way and is almost certainly superfluous. As a limerick the two lines are perfectly acceptable as:

    "But when he's called scat
    He doesn't like that."

    The "So" at the beginning of the last line is also superfluous and again an example of the tendency of uneducated people to begin sentences with "So" when it doesn't add anything to the meaning, as in "So I was reading SGT one day". I don't think we can describe you as having attended Slough Comprehensive, successfully or otherwise. I imagine you as being at some minor prep school like Kings Mead and then god knows where you ended up next but doubtless somewhere that you spent your days not in the classroom but bossing the school cadet corps along the lines made famous by Douglas Neidermeyer in Animal House

    Again, I think you're back to 6/10 and "must try harder"

    This is why SGT is such a wonderful community, it is fun yet educational, something you don't often see.
    I did not know 'so' is one of those parasitic words. I shall try and avoid it, English can be hard. Frequent, you make me want to be a better English speaker!
