You've aced it with this one! Just the right mix of humour and innuendo! I had to look up Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner to gather the full import - not being all that familiar with the American sporting scene!

Thanks tfawcus for you time to read and give this a review. Apart from the sporting Bruce Jenner he is also the Step father ( now mother) to Kim Kardashian and that clan who are always in the media and all over magazine pages ( not sure why) but this was too good of an opportunity to miss so hopefully it will be viewed as a bit of lighthearted fun with Thanks and Cheers

Lol! Which is the whole point of humour poetry. So we can say the aim is achieved. I really did laugh out loud, mainly because I didn't see the punch line coming - one of the secrets of a good joke. One question though, what is a jenner? I know a janner is a native of Plymout UK or even anywhere in Devonshire but jenner, I have not come across. Please complete my education.

Thank you Pantygynt for reading this and giving it a review a great rating . Jenner refers to Bruce Jenner who is now Caitlyn Jenner who has undergone a gender change recently and is well known in America for being married to Chris Jenner and is the step father.( now step mother) to Kim Kardashian a so called celebrity socialite . The whole family is quite bizzare and I couldn't help having a go at a Limerick at Bruce Jenners expense( forgive me Bruce or Caitlyn or who ever he/ she is!) lol but I do appreciate your review and comments. I hope I have cleared up why I used Jenner in this. Cheers

I like it "From a jack to a queen" very creative and a well-written limerick. I believe a great contender for this contest.


I wish you the best of luck

This is a really great limerick, unexpected topic but very timely and relevant. Very clever and brought a smile. Your use of the limerick form is right-on.

Extremely funny and a bit bawdy, a Limerick at its best! Caitlyn/Bruce is on everyone's mind now, lol. Your last line made me laugh out loud. The picture speaks a thousand words.

My only peeve, your orange color on a black background was extremely jarring to my eyes. I would either bold it or pick a different text color. You have such a phenomenal piece here, I don't want readability to compromise its chances at the contest.

Thank you yeltel for your great review I am glad you liked it and had a laugh. Too hard to resist having a go at both 'Caitlyn ' and a limerick. Thanks for letting me know about the colour scheme I will review this also Cheers

reply by Eternal Muse on 25-Jul-2015

Great color change! If you have it in advanced mode, maybe you could increase the text size a bit. It would bring out the presentation.

reply by the author on 26-Jul-2015

Hi again and thanks for the review again I did change the colour on your advice and like this better I use my I pad most of the time to do my poetry and I can't increase the font size so it seems to always be this size until I learn to do it on another medium I may try my lap top next and see what I can do re font etc but appreciate your help Cheers

Hello,

This is a good Limerick and you did have a bit of fun with this. Mostly well written, but your last line would be better if it had the same syllable count as lines l and 2. Really amusing and I wish you good luck in the contest.

Thank you Dorothy I will review it and see if I can change syllable count thanks for your helpful advice much appreciated Cheers

Comment from Judgement Dave

Excellent

Enjoyable. A nice dose of limerick humour and, in my opinion, manages to be topical and about gender change without being coarse or negative.
Not 100% certain if 'Caitlyn' and 'Man' rhyme well enough - but I may be wrong about how Americans pronounce Caitlyn. I'd see it more as ending in an 'in' sound, as opposed to the 'an' of man.
Good luck.
Cheers
JD
