Number 11 is a task I must do
Number 13 is performed here too
I didn't say which is which
there's no need to bitch

I admit I don't get this one bit
it's devoid of any humor or wit
in limerick terms
your offering confirms
your talent is truly for shit.

Sorry, but limericks are my favorite form of poetry and I was actually known as the limking on mIRC for a while.

I do limericks quickly and quite impromptu and don't edit them. I really don't mean to criticize your entry and encourage anyone to practice the artform as I love reading them as much as creating them but when the rhyme fits, I must submit.

I'd say that it's really quite clear
your limerick did not quite endear
I wouldn't take it wrong wrong
and I'd say before long
you might produce an entry he'd cheer.

It really was my first time
At doing a silly rhyme
My effort not doubt
Gives me some sort of clout
Unless I was paid with your dime.

For a first time entry not bad
worse offerings are sure to be had
as for having your doubts
you should remember the trouts
and not be dismayed by the cad.

Axx doesn't just rhyme to roast
nor does he just rhyme to boast
he humbly replies
"I encourage your tries
to celebrate the art form I toast."

In Sun writing limericks he tried,
but the rhymes in his head came out fried.
it's damn hot here,
and that's why I fear,
You should not make these up while outside.

My Limerick in honor of the cool 112 degree temps SnDvls and I are sharing right now.

To defend his rhyme you honestly tried
but your effort at defense aside
In Phoenix I dwell
and it's hotter than hell
but my rhyming is hitting it's stride.

I think that I might fit the bill
to be honest it would be a thrill
though I'm often told
that my luck won't hold
long enough to get the thread kill

The poor limerick is
A sucky type of poem
Not like the haiku

Your haiku was not in the

I suppose it depends if you count limerick as 2 or 3 syllables. I count it as 2 and therefore it works.
