Your language in this is pretty slick for a limerick. It's a tale of two sisters who know innately how to escape blame by offering the other as a scapegoat. It's amazing how that seems to come with each pair of children, no matter where they live. Now for the slick language: proficient truth-twisters..what a wonderful obfuscation of the word 'liar'. It's a whole lot more poetic, and it kinda softens the blow a bit. And what about this gem: expert reproval resistors...great alliteration and another excellent obfuscation of the idea that they won't be blamed easily. I enjoyed your limerick and I hope you do well in the contest.
