fantastic, creative use of rhymes - very clever
nice touches of alliteration
all extremely funny - proving that smut isn't necessary, even in limericks LOL

Brooke, thanks for reviewing.

I found this one on the way to finding "Juliet" Steve as I am a lover of good limericks. (So many people don't seem to know how to write them). "Bruin/ruin" - too funny as was "Twickenham with quicken 'em" and especially, "stickin 'im" which is as close to a perfect rhyme as you can get in this situation. Place names give us so many opportunities. The visual you created in your final stanza, not to mention enlightening me about how "nuclear fission" came about was a great topper. Flawlessly created as usual Steve and very clever, of course. xx Carol

Thanks again - I know what you mean about Limericks - is it so hard to see/hear the rhythm? Partly the site's fault of course for having the ridiculous rule about the number of syllables...

So that's what someone meant ages ago when he attacked one line of mine that did not have the "right" number of syllables. I told the person that word choice rather than exact syllable count was the key to getting the limerick rhythm right. I didn't know this about the site so thanks Steve. I'll bear that in mind for the future. xx Carol

You must have had a lot of fun with these three poems. The first was my best, but they all had great rhyming and the proper syllables in place. Nicely done.

Got a bit of a chuckle here. These poor people in limericks, they sure take a beating. I was glad you put that in the notes about the syllables, I was having some doubts.
Thanks for sharing the fun :)

There once was a lass called Anita
With the grace and the strength of a cheetah
Alas what a pity
In Mexico City
She choked on a spicy fajita

Thanks for reviewing

Great limerick, very funny read. You have made good use of rhyme and choice of words to express your thoughts. Rather super illustration, too. Good luck in the contest. faye

Like the comedian said: "I got a million of um."

And you pop off three limericks while I wouldn't dare one of them.

I especially love your first one. The other contestants better run and hide!

Three delightful epitaphs. The clever wordplay and excruciating rhymes narrow the authorship of this down a bit. There are not many on this site who can achieve such delicious humour. Clever, funny and in my view likely to romp home the winner of this contest!
