Clean Limericks are all that I write because I think humor is more challenging when the poet doesn't rely on bawdy for laughs.
These verses of zealous individuals taking their jobs a bit too serious, achieves just that. You get my 6 stars.

Pretty clever, and right on target. It's tough to write a piece like this. They're not belly busters, but are humorous nontheless. You must have a million of em.

Comment from Rainbowsofhappiness
Great creative limerick! I especially love the final line of the poem "And Boom! he achieved nuclear fission" Just wondering if the he in this line should be capitalized as it is a new thought pertaining to the previously mentioned one or ifyou meant to format it that way. I found this limerick poem to be statistically humorous in the short but complete stanzas. The format follows the rules of the competition especially when one reads the author's notes. Great imagery is evoked through the use of precisely chosen word choices and the meter maintains a consistent, rhythmic pattern. I like how the author created three separate stories within this poem. The transition from one stanza to the next was seamless resulting in an overall unified writing piece around the theme of extreme satire. Well written evoking the qualities of a "clean limerick" in its lines.

Thank you - I did have the capital there originally, then changed it, intending it to be read as one sentence. Technically, you're probably right.
Thanks again for reading and for such a thorough review.

You are most welcome! With poetry being such unique creations I figured it was a decision you had made of your own to present the sentence that way but figured I would mention it only because if you had meant for the word to be capitalized the computer spell check would have missed it. I really enjoyed this limerick trifecta as they were quite humorous in delivery! :-)

Thank you. Only one bean-counter so far who found (somehow) at least 6 errors in my syllable count...

Interesting story in a poem, which made me laugh. Good sense of humor. Great visual imagery created. And it's a limerick series. Nice work. Good luck in the contest.
Happy Easter

Very good poem. It is well written and the words are uncommon as most of them would not be used in conversation. The rhyme is ok and the piece is an interesting read.
