A fine limerick, however, I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you, Aiona--tell me, is the pie all-you-can-eat? That's a groovy-looking pie, though, fluffy crust is the best!

Hello Aiona... yes they are! Bawdy, or just funny in general... I can still remember one I read as a kid in a book called, Funny Little Limericks... "There once was a woman named Harris, Whom nothing could simply embarass, Till the bath salt she shook, In the bath that she shook, Turned out to be plaster of paris!" Above it was a picture of a lady in a bathtub, obviously stuck there... the plastic having hardened, posed like a dog with her hands and feet stuck in the plaster. LOL I do love yours... I'll take bawdy any time! LOL

Hee! I don't have an apple tree in our new house. But! I can still make blueberry pie. I'll take a picture of that soon. I'm glad the double entendre comes through.

Hello Aiona
Very good. There was a 'dispute' recently on the site around limericks and the 'correct' format - but I think the consensus was that it is a moving target, there are many models and if they work, they work. This one works. I will make of the apple pie whatever euphemism I may.
In passing, line 4 seems 'short' to me " ...really brought the lad down..." (or any additional syllable) runs better (for me - but it may be an matter of accent. I mean no disrespect to your words).
I wish you well with your continued writing.
cheers

Heh! A moving target, eh? I wish I could find the discussion. Is there a link to it? Yeah, that line does seem a bit short. I'll work on that one.

Hi
If you go to the 'forums' (a drop-down option in the community tab at teh top of the page). Then, click on poetry writing (4th item down). It is currently the top item "ridiculous contest requirements"
cheers

Thanks, Phill. I changed the wording a little bit. Trying to fit in another pun. It might be over the top, but it was fun trying to find another word to use! If I could nominate you for reviewer of the month I would, but I used mine up so early in the month! So many helpful people here! Next month!

This is a great limerick. And it's all in how you read it isn't it? lol. I keep wanting to make 'master' rhyme with 'Astor' which makes it even funnier. Thanks for sharing.
