You achieved the goal of this contest...a humorous limerick. The rhythm, rhyme, and meter are perfect. Roy is so self centered, he will probably never notice his baby looks like his brother. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.

Priceless. The cost of doing wrong is to have it come back to bite you in similar fashion, in a place in or around your nether region. Feel free to use your imagination. The wonderful thing about limericks is that the truly
great ones require imagination, skill and a wonderful sense of humor. Your great post pass in every area.

I think I can sum it up with "EEP!" Your limerick was very funny and you got the rhymes right. I got a laugh out of it, so that's a bonus. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

You nailed it with this limerick. It sings along with good meter and rhyme and brings a smile to the reader's face. Yes, Roy had it coming. Good luck in the contest.

That's what you get for playing the game and going fishing in someone else's pond. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This limerick is so good that it's hard to believe that it's original. I don't mean to imply that it's stolen or copied: only to suggest that it's a very clever retake on a long standing joke based on surprising outcomes of sexual infidelity.
I usual don't like to give 6s on short pieces, but this one is quite perfect.

Aha... the joke is on old Roy this time,
Your limerick read with the proper cadence, told its story and provided a good punch line.

Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

This is good and funny. You can get free art by mentioning where you got the art in your author notes. Try Google, Bing, Pinterest, and others.
Here's your bad joke of the day: What do you call someone who sleeps in the socks?......Tiny

Oh, this is such a cute story contained within the 5 line, Limerick format! I think each line formed a perfect visual, leading smoothly to the humorous twist that completed this great poem! I'm sure this was lot's of fun to write because it was lot's of fun to read! Best of wishes to you!

A fine limerick in the tradition of bawdy by inference rather than by stated obscenity. What a great form this is when handled as skilfully as you have done.
