Comment from emrpoems
When crossing to Calais by ferry,
A maiden imbibed too much sherry.
When she woke up in France,
You could tell at a glance
She'd lost her respect and her cherry.
A sure winner. Compelling presentation of picture and poem.
Perfect syllable structure 9/9/6/6/9
aabba rhymes
A whole story told with ease in few words

So, if you can pick winners just like that, you should head off to the racetrack!
Thanks for the kind words.

I have one word for this - OUTSTANDING! So perfectly written, with a wonderful flow. Saucy and bold - as a good limerick should be. I have a friend ho loves to tell limericks. I could hear his voice and see his rosy cheeks as I read this. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from adewpearl
the inflection of your limerick is spot on - this reads like a dream
strong rhymes and that final rhyming word is integral to the ribald humor, which I also expect in a limerick
This is a perfect example of a limerick's form and content :-) Brooke

It's a fickle form, but this one came together well and snared .... the cherry?

Comment from BeasPeas
This limerick is excellent. Stuck to the syllabic pattern and the bawdiness usually accompanying. No mistakes here. Good creative writing. I'd give you six stars but I'm out.

Comment from Carrie Carson
Can't help it, I just like thing ribald...wouldn't do any good to deny it, either.
Good form, pace and rhyme...right on the prompt.
Good luck in the contest. To me, a strange thing about many Fanstorians is an almost prudish point of view. Good luck in the contest, this one has my vote so far. :) Carrie
Has my vote over all!

Yep, it's not a 'proper' Limerick unless it smacks of naughtiness. I'm sure the prudes avoided this one, but I still garnered enough votes for a win.

CONGRATULATIONS!! That's wonderful...humor does beat all doesn't it. Great job!
Comment from RYME4U
Naughty Naughty! This has great rhythm and is well presented. It is certainly bawdy but it sort of gives a good message for young girls...Don't get drunk!

Not sure if I was thinking of giving a moral message when I wrote this, but yep, that one will do!
Comment from Domino 2
This is definitely one of the best entries I've read.
Much better meter than most, and top rhymes in this clever and funny read.
Good luck, Ted

Comment from Rondeno
Very good. you get the rhyme and rhythm right (essential in a limerick), and there is narrative progression, leading neatly to a (forgive me) climax. Best of all, you honour the limerick tradition of mild bawdiness, seaside postcard-style.
