rhyme scheme, OK
but the rhythm is amiss.
a fine poem, but not really limericky.

a bit wordy--it muddles up the pace.

Limericks use the distinctive rhyming scheme of a-a-b-b-a, where the first two lines set the scene, the third and fourth lines quickly twist things about, and the fifth line hammers the conclusion. (first, second, and fifth lines are trimeter, third and fourth are dimeter).
this is from the help screen, not my original writing.
Limericks focus on the absurd or the silly when they're not downright naughty.

I suppose its all in good fun. I was a smidge distracted by the lack of line break separating the rhymes in the 3rd line of each limerick.

nice, but not limericky.

I like this a lot, but I think you may have misclassified it as a limerick.

on The Spankbox by Garrett S Sexton 5 Dec 2002, 7:30 AM
the last line is inconsistant and base. it interrupts the flow and tone.

Let's not confuse vulgarity with art.
on Basic comedy by Garrett S Sexton 5 Dec 2002, 6:15 AM
