I loved them. I can't write limericks to save my life! These are just so good, really funny and wonderful when read out aloud. Good luck in the contest! xsx sandra

cute, and funny; at first I thought I was reading more of the humorous epitaphs...
I think I like the last one the best - it almost feels like something the guys on Big Bang Theory would write if they wrote poetry... :)

"Three Bright Sparks" These are classic lymiricks you have written here and they are as funny as can be, taken in the context it was written in. Well done.

You are most welcome.

This poem is funny. Conforming with the requirements of the contest, I found it amusing. It is an irony of fate written in limerick. Congratulations. Dom

These are all very good short poems, but I liked the last on e the best in these three piece of poetry. They were all very cleverly written with good humor in them. I enjoyed reading and writing this response for them all... John

I thought of the guy who loved filming erupting volcanoes on location. Things got hot when the earth opened below him. Well done poet. Shalom.

Now if there were only any decent rhymes for volcano....
Thanks for reviewing.

Never thought of that. Got my thinking cap on, now!
Comment from Dean Kuch
Aw-w-w-w, c'mon, kiwisteveh, who counts beans here on FanStory anyhow? If the rhyming, story behind the poem and composition is engaging enough, perhaps they'll forget to count them at all, the reader will be so hypnotized. Yeah, right...then Hades froze over!
Funny stuff here, and three for the price of one. I was unaware that they were running a special. I'd better go check my coupons again...
Nice work, and good luck (not that luck is even a factor in these things. I think skill and voters have more to do with it).

Shhhh! You're not supposed to know who this is!
Thanks for the kind words - three for the price of one doesn't seem to be working so far.
You know who.

Hah ha, I recognize your style. Once you've written and won so many of these, people just begin to see it. Sorry, I forgot about not using names. It happens to me in horror prompts a great deal, too.
Comment from Pegcook
These are mind-boggling! If I had to chose favorite I couldn't do it, 'cause I like them all! Thanks for clarifying the syllable count on mathematician and nuclear; I never know how to sort them out.

Thanks, Peg.
There's always someone who is more concerned with counting syllables than the quality of the piece. One reviewer has found a staggering 4 syllable errors in these!!!
Comment from Righteous Riter
This piece meets the criteria of the Limerick poem as the syllable count is spot on. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with mission/fission...uranium/cranium. Good description and alliteration. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.
