thanks - apparently Alabama is not a perfect rhyme for Slammer - who knew?
Most FanStorians haven't got a clue about Limericks (witness some of the entries in this contest). I knew what I wanted to achieve but couldn't quite hit the jackpot to link up the numbers and grammar for a snappy final line.

Even around our part of the country we know Alabamar as the home of Birmingham. Feel free to use it in your poem for rhyme time on your first line.

Really funny. Anyone you know? You did a
great job with this limerick and I got a
chuckle too.
You were right on with the syllable count
and the humor was on target.
Great entry.
Best of luck in the contest.

This was a cute limerick, but it makes you think for a moment or two. Tax evasion is the subject, but is he out of prison yet? The "is" ten to fifteen is what has me wondering.
But great poem.

Hey, Edward - not still worried about the present tense are we?
I did manage to get a little English teacher joke in there about sentence completed...
Thanks for the nice review.

The rhyming scheme is good but it seems there's one extra syllable in the first line. Your limerick is certainly humorous. It put a smile on my face.

Thank you - yes, there was a little creative accounting going on in the first line - actually I choose to ignore that rather silly rule - FanStory is the only organisation in the world who thinks that a Limerick has a strict syllable count!

Very funny. I like the rhymes and the limerick rhythm is done perfectly. The picture is a great match and the ending is great.

Acheating accountant gets what he deserves. Very good rhyme and rhythm to your poem and the picture you chose was very appropriate.

You made me laugh with your limerick, I could actually see this happening. Any poem that can make me laugh out loud, gets my vote. Good luck in the contest.
