This is a solid example of what a limerick ought to be, and it ought to be used as a prime example for the contest. The humor is subtle and effective; well done!

The varying line break spacing is a little unusual, but I understand why you did it.

Brilliant! I'm no good at limericks, let alone humorous ones. But this one reads perfectly with assured rhyme and makes me smile. Ticking all the boxes, a strong contender! Good luck Debbie

This is an excellent limerick for the contest with good rhymes and meter,
plus a humorous topic like good limerick should have.
Fanstorians should like this one.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.
Robert

Well, the man had a comic comeuppance,
and I'd gladly pay more than a tuppence,
to see the disgrace, all over his face -
I hope it was heaven's effulgence. :)

(i loved your witty limerick! Good luck in the contest.)

    This just might be the best darn review,
    That I ever did see, Dawn, it's true!
    Mine?s not nearly as witty
    But I'll save all my pity
    For poor Uncle Roy and his? nephew!

    Thank you for this amazing review- it made my day!!

I was a redhead (that could be me as a baby) and I did have an affair in my twenties, a baby boy was conceived and born, I've never seen him, (she moved away just after birth) so truth has an out doesn't it, well done, great limerick, blessings ROY.

    Roy! Hahahahahaha , I swear, I almost put this in the author's notes?

    "This limerick is a work of pure fiction; composed merely for amusement. It is in no way intended to depict our beloved Royowen; who is the much better Roy, and nothing like "Old Roy" here... Frankly? I just needed a rhyme for boy.
    Roy has no experience with a predicament like this? I think."

    I appreciate your sense of humor!

Unknown bard, this is a strong satirical punch...Does it need a disclaimer?
You actually should write for a special section of Hallmark:) Good luck in
the contest. teafor2

Great limerick. Funny and fun with a hint of naughty but tastefully done with the humor that limericks are well noted for.

Well done and good luck in the contest.
Blessings
