Great limerick! Says a lot about the crowd at a dance competition - proper to a fault. The picture you chose is perfect - love their expressions. I totally could see the scene unravelling (literally). Thank for sharing.

I felt happy at the end of the poem. It was a funny image to see in my head the couple dancing then he shoe catching her dress. Were they applauding for the tango or that lay under the ripped dress?

Great! It does have a bit of an unbalanced syllabic structure. I think "the crowd still applauded their tango" would read a bit better. Good luck in the competition!

A delightful limerick, funny and lighthearted. I also liked very much the accompanying photo and, more than any other, the video, with the touching tango of "blind" Al Pacino. Also the following tangos. My favorite Latin-American dance.

Hopefully the heels were nice and sharp and simply tore the dress so the dance could continue... Fandangos are supposed to be 'racy' anyway! ;) :) A fun offering for the morning - thanx for sharing! ;)

Limericks are a difficult poem-type. They have the rhymne and the meter- but they seem to need that extra creative and inspired 'bounce' when the reader reads it- I believe you have captured it. Well done.

Best of luck in the Write a Limerick contest.

Your limerick is of course very sweet. It reminds me of the Pacino movie that you included in your notes. The combo really dances together. Great overall presentation. Your Orlando gal was very lucky with her dance partner.

It was a very nice and properly done Limerick for the contest. You have an excellent inflection which I find the hardest to achieve when writing a Limerick. Loved your humor and wit, as well as your picture and the artistic presentation. Your syllable count is spot on.

I wish you luck in the contest, it should do very well. Thanks for joining.

Love this limerick and the beautiful tango dancers. I know how hard it is to dance tango well. So you treat it with humor. I also wrote a limerick and enjoyed the writing process a lot.

Well done.
