This is a neat little limerick, but I think the first line is missing a word--t' is at the end. Did you mean Tish, as in a female's name, Tish?

Just a goof to make it rhyme with lines two and five.

Yep. If you are foolish enough to hurt a man, you will be dealt with and that means that if it happens more than once you will earn an express one way trip to extinction. We get rid of any and everything that hurts us or causes us discomfort.

Bill, This was a very cute limerick about the jellyfish. You used very cute words and a really nice picture of the jellyfish! I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Blessings, Teri

Ha, too funny, Bill. For a second there I was wondering what a jellyfish tea was and then I figured out it was jellyfished. Very cool and a ton of fun Limerick.

Thank you for sharing.

It has the humor of a limerick (and rubbing a jellyfish is always a bad idea!)
The syllable count and rhythm is not quite what I expected and really didn't know what to do with the t apostrophe in the first line - to make it 8 syllables? So I count:
8, 7, 5, 4, 6

I've read that it should be:
A (7, 8 or 9 syllables*)
A (7, 8 or 9)
B (5 or 6)
B (5 or 6)
A (7, 8 or 9)

Limericks are often a head-butting contest for me. Teaching limericks as a syllabic format is a way to get started, but the BEAT is what is considered. That?s why an initial line could be...There once of a man from Manhattan (9 syllables)
or ... There once was a woman named Trent (8syllables)
The meter of 99559 is often the baseline, but as long as the first, second, and fifth lines are CLOSE, the more important aspect of the form is the complete story and humor.
Now, I can?t use any of those assertions to defend this jellyfish crap. I spent little time on its perfecting, so your critique is well indicated.
Happy day.

hahahaha, Bill, I loved the imagery this left me with. The poor thing got all but 'squished' under food. Awe, poor creature. I like it a lot. You have such great imagination. All the best. Ulla:))

Hahaha. Loved this one-pretty picture but he shoulda been a bit nicer. Great rhyme and, of course, the humor was superb. Quite enjoyable.

He he he, this is funny and how do you squish a Jelly fish? Don't they just slide away under foot? I love the artwork, spectacular colour to match your colourful poem, love Dolly x

Finally with a photo again, that complements your poem perfectly. I saw this was different from the previous ones. You made a lovely Limerick. You can really do anything. Thanks for sharing.
