Excellent use of the ABC Poem format
I love that you've turned this into a limerick with strong rhyme and good limerick cadence
I like the use of the vernacular
fun reference to Caesar's I came I saw I conquered quote :-)
This is extremely clever and amusing :-) Brooke

Thanks, Brooke.

I enjoyed the challenge of combining the two forms. Not expecting this to do that well with the judges but it was fun!

Yeah, even so I'll take your word for it, Steve. I'm not even going to try to work out the syllables. When it comes to Irish or Scottish accents I retreat into the Australian accent and stay there! It looks good, and the ABC works well, so on that score well done, Giddy

Thanks, Giddy - I am not one to believe in syllable counts for limericks anyway, but getting the ABC to work out in limerick form was a little tricky.

This one was just for fun.
