Comment from Dawn Munro

Excellent

I wrote this review once already, but I guess the site may have lost it when going off to 'maintain'.

I enjoyed these limericks very much - funny and clever! I did stumble a bit on those last lines, especially in the last stanza (is there an extra syllable in there, perhaps?)

In any event, they are still wonderful! Best of luck in the contest!

Thank you for the clean limericks and constraining yourself to the contest's syllable count. I enjoyed each of your clever thumbnail, character sketches. Best wishes in the contest with three "sparks"- Joan

A funny little poem, with a good picture to make it complete. Good word flow and rhyming, telling of those who did things, that was their demise.

This was a fun little piece I found quite enjoyable. There's nothing I see that needs fixing, so I'm just here to say congratulations on writing such a cute limerick! :)

Ha, ha, loved it! Would have been very difficult to write a limerick without being bawdy I reckon, but you've done a great job. Made me laugh and that is the point of any limerick, isn't it! Great entry for the comp and I wish you all the best. Regards, Jan

I was impressed by the cleverness of your language in each of your three stanzas. Your focus is on unfortunate deaths of people taking extraordinary risks. I had to laugh at the black humour of the photographer's last photo. Your choice of "to quick em" as a rhyme and words in vs 2 made me smile, and the simple notion of sniffing uranium in the cranium was LOL. Good luck with your limerick collection.
