LOL!
Nailed it in the last line, and of course, everything preceding was building up to that.
You really milked the limerick form for all it was worth.
Love it, best of luck in the contest.

This has such a delightful illustration. And the limericks are first rate, too. I kept thinking maybe her hand fell in a ripe deposit of cow manure, but the punch line took me off guard. Nice job, and good luck in that contest!

Lol! That's so cute. And you managed to hint at naughtiness without letting anything slip except for what the cow might have said. Great limerick form. Best wishes in the contest!

You had me laughing out loud, Lisa May--and, yes, I was thinking much worse! I love how you played us, then laughed at your own joke. It worked perfectly, and was so in the limerick spirit. Good luck in the contest. I'd be very surprised if you didn't win.

A cute little piece that was easy and fun to read. It had a wonder pace to it, and the picture helped with the wonderful image that came to mind as I read.

This stacked limerick, The Milk Maid and the Cow, has the proper formatting and tells a funny story of this clumsy maiden and the unpleasant cow. Fun day at the dairy farm.

Quite the funny limerick Lisa! You captured the bawdy nature a limerick should have.
Near flawless meter and the correct amount of syllables in each line.
One line has a bit of a hiccup in it...
"then all she could do was to suck it." The line has a spot-on syllable count (9), but the accents on the syllables don't match the first line of that stanza. Perhaps adding the word ,"so" before the word "then"
Or capitalize the word "then" starting a new sentence.
I'd like to see you do well with this as it is the best one I've read so far. It's up to you.
Take care,
Katiemaedead

Haha! This is the best stacked limerick I've read so far. You told a good story that is humorous, and the rhythm is perfect, in true limerick style. I wish you the best in the contest.
