Bill, your poem is so cute and amusing. I love the way your verses rhyme and come together to tell a story. You add a touch of satire as you make fun of your own entertaining poem. Well done. Check out mine, also.

Thanks, LJ.
Comment from judiverse
Plus the last line doesn't rhyme, either. All these different forms of poetry, and we're supposed to live up to all the expectations. As you write, a limerick is expected to be funny and naughty and rhyme in a certain way. And who's going to decide what's right? Maybe some guys in Ireland. Great rhyme and humor in this, anyway. judi

Thanks, Judi. I knew I had it wrong right.

As long as that was your intention. Fun poem. Makes us think about how bound up we are in all the rules. judi

I love this one, mostly because so many people are caught up in sticking to a form and not trying to focus on what they want to say. They need to relax and have a laugh!

You are on a creative tear, Bill. I think that's your method of writing. You grab hold of a theme then zoom. That creative mind sprint from one piece to another. It took me a while to learn your style and way of writing. Great work, Bill.

definition, so I am giving
you points for those things.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is really funny and particularly the last line which is not only a bit of a mind blip, but also doesn't rhyme which is completely apropos for the non-subject under discussion.
Great fun always. :)

Lol. And I've written sad limericks, too which is neither funny nor bawdy. Thanks for your meta-limerick which defines what they are used for even if we don't use it that way.

As a teacher, limericks are actually great tools of the trade...especially in the lower grades. Of course, they're without the bawdy and naughty...now, with the teens, ya gotta kinda skirt the naughty with catchy, but they're still fun!! :) So, this is your non-limerick...how inventive of you! :) ;) Limerick is a favorite with me 'cuz it's actually the ONLY form of poetry I was ever 'taught' ... in a classroom setting! ;) ;) Thanx for sharing! :)

Hahahahahaha. Bill, this a great 'non limerick' It certainly isn't and yet it is. I loved it. You are so very good with these short poems. Always a joy to read. All the best. Ulla:))

Aww ... That's no fun. I want bawdy, funny and naughty, like for instance:
There once was a writer named Bill
who had questionable skill
he wrote poems of all kind
that often would blow my mind
his attack is like taking a hill

Questionable?

For purpose of rhyming, your skill is obvious and is not truly questioned. Relax.

Just kidding too. Relax you back.
