I really love these, Steve. Perhaps you should have waited for the next limerick prompt. I know you aren't a 9-9-6-6-9 slave, so I won't comment, except to say I think
''til Ben, a new client' works a bit better.
Now you've inspired me to try a few limericks of my own.
'Anne' is absolutely brilliant.
Peace, Lee

Anne and Bradley should team up for a road show, accompanied by the team chiropractor. I wonder if Gimbel's will find a lacey limber lithesome leaping liquor loose lady? After all Macy's inadvertently paraded theirs. I'm hoping Bradley fathered already. Supple Ben gets the best deal. Clever.

Thanks for the amusing review - all sortd of chaos could happen if my Limerick characters got together.... Maybe I could write about that for a climax.
Together the gang
Had a resounding bang....
something like that.

The gang having a resounding bang for a climax holds unspeakable humor. You're killing me.
Comment from rama devi
An entertaining series written in true limerick style with flawless meter, inventive rhyming, wit and bawdy-humor, as befitting this genre. These are all original creative, funny and very finely alliterated. I chuckled aloud on the last line of the C one! As with the other series I just reviewed, the rhyming is incredible fresh and original. Bravo!
Warmly, rd

LOL. Awesome. One and two or A and B, I should say are quite funny. There is a Macy's in New Zealand? Wow. Okay, so my husband's name is Bradley. Oy Vey! Thanks for the laughs. Enjoyed your work. ~Yona

These are delightful. Good limericks are hard to write.
Great use of alliteration in the first line of each one.
Excellent punch lines. My favorite is the poor butcher.

lol- Got a good chuckle from each of these three limericks. I think the 'shortcomings' with the sewn off 'sausage' made me laugh the most. ALL were great. Thanks for giving us a smile. Betty

I love limericks and these are great. Three different situations, and all hilariousl I especially liked the artiste acrobatic cartwheeling through Macy's. You have a fine imagination and wish you the best. Really entertaining reading.

Comment from 9999pool
Absolutely hilarious though the middle stanza is a weeny bit naughty but it's a limerick, isn't it? LOL.
Three different occupations and three funny scenes.
I have a good laugh and would certainly see some other book chapter on this Limericks ABC book.
Good humor and catchy tune too. Great write.
Cheers, Ritchie.
