Good limerick in the traditional style. Fortunately, I think Teddy is a good sport. He generates a lot of badly-needed activity on the site. Good on both of you.

Yes, we had a good laugh over this. He's really not a bad guy under all that bluster. lol There are a few really funny ones worth reading in this contest. If you haven't already, give them a try. They're short, and are really funny.

Thanks so much for reading and the kind comments.

I read "Teddy" and was thinking "teddy bear." lol Oh my. Very fun limerick, ornery but not vulgar. Love the accompanying picture. It enhances the poem extremely well.

Thanks so much, RM. Glad you enjoy my bawdy brand of humor. There are a couple of other great entries in this contest. So, if you do decided to vote have, some fun and scan them for your favorite. There are more than a couple good chuckles in this booth.

LOL. . . good one!

excellent traditional limerick cadence/meter - definitely on
the bawdy side, brought a smile to my face, for it's blatant
"barroom" humor :-)

Nice job with the prompt :-)

I'm just relieved it came off sounding as funny to you as it did to me when I wrote it. Sometimes that's not the case and you can come off sounding either stupid or mean or both with these. Thanks so much for the positive feedback.

This one was funny but bad! That makes it a good Limerick. You have presented it well and followed the limerick structure perfectly. Good job!

Thanks, Ryme... I appreciate you taking the time to read it and offer your impressions.

Thanks for entering, mystery writer, though as the sponsor I know who you are.

I'm extremely flattered and grateful you used my profile picture and have given me so much free publicity.

I certainly don't feel like 'the victim' (as per your 'description'), but the VICTOR.

Hey, the last time you tested my 'timber', I recall you were very impressed. LOL.

Mind you, you seemed rather miffed when I called the cops and you were arrested and convicted for groping me in the street. Haha!

Thanks for the fun, Ted.

ADDED - Hey, I told you I was the 'victor' - I just won a 'bonus pump' for this review. Gissa kiss, honey-bunch, but keep your hands to yourself in future. LMAO!

Hi, Ted.. Thanks for being such a good sport - and making for such an easy and gratifying victim. Us limerick lovers need a good target, and I was oh so ever grateful that someone named, 'Teddy Bears All' sponsored this contest.

... and I deny all allegations of 'testing floppy timbers' or any convictions handed down while dressed as my circus professional, Gropo the Clown.

Thanks for the great review...

Thanks for your gracious reply.

I thought you didn't like me for a minute, and I've only just finished drying my eyes. ;-)

Hey - the guilty always 'deny'. :-)

reply by the author on 18-Feb-2014

How could I not like you? I don't even know you. A lot of people get that impression from me on this sight, and I'm stunned by that.

I truly don't like or dislike anyone online. People say stupid stuff, make outlandish comments, and express anger or frustration in strange ways... I never judge, but often shake my head when I realize I've been judge.

They're all just words on a page. We've never met, and I have no idea who you really are... so, no, I don't NOT like you. lol

Sometimes, sarcasm can come over as offensive via a keyboard.

You DO know me, but under a different pseudonym in the past when we had a couple of exchanges.

Ted

hmmm, was there an 'x' in your previous moniker? lol

reply by Domino 2 on 18-Feb-2014

You got it - 'Earl of Oxford'. It's no secret and Tom welcomed me back - so long as I behave myself this time around. It hurts, but I'm managing. LOL.

It's 2am here, so I'm off to bed.

Cheers, 'Ted' :-)

reply by the author on 18-Feb-2014

Awesome.. Your work was missed, if not your personality. LOL Welcome, glad to have you back!

reply by Domino 2 on 19-Feb-2014

Thanks very much - well, sort of LOL.

I did tend to stick to my guns if I thought I was being bullied or insulted, and some didn't like that. I never started a fight, but I enjoyed finishing them - usually with sarcasm (a fave of yours too), which wasn't appreciated by a few.

All the best, Ted

Please scroll down for an example of mine. Now that was hilarious. Just about as funny as the limerick itself. Sexuality can and will always be a very humorous subject to dwell on every now and then. This was just an excellent limerick to have read and written this response for... John

Hi, John. Thanks so much for the great review. So glad you had as much fun reading as I had writing. It doesn't always work that way. lol
