Great limerick indebted to the prankster. Until his demise when in the ground he was laid.

This is a formidable entry to the limerick contest. It should do well.

Cheers,
John

Thanks, John. I tried to stay away from the dirty ones this time.

Great entry. I like that you foreshadow the ending of your limerick with the description as well as the title. Nice use of alliteration with the 'p' sound as well as the hard g in 'gangster' and 'gave'.

Thanks, Shari. The alliteration was unintentional. Got lucky.

This limerick, The Last Prank, has the proper formatting and finds that a joke is only as humorous as one thinks a deep wound and a shallow grave tickle the funny bone.

LOL, very well done for this contest. I wish you well in the contest. I am thinking it was a bad thing for him, but if he had met up with that girl from Nantucket...well, you would have had to put up a disclaimer on your poem. Very creative. Terry.

Your selfie photo (wink) works perfectly with your limerick. Gangsters may not make the best audience for pranks or the butt end of jokes. Difficult lesson to learn for our man from Fort Wayne. Got a chuckle out of me. Good luck in the contest.

I do enjoy a good limerick and we don't seem to see enough of them on this site so it's great that we have a contest and this one should be a strong contender. It flows beautifully, the rhyming is good and the image just makes it a lot of fun. You've got the whole package. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thanks, Debbie. Limericks are easy to write but tough to win with.

I like this limerick. It has the correct amount of snark. The touch of karma adds a neat flavor. The picture fits well with the poem.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

What a photo; what an ending twist lol. I love dark limericks - I did not expect the end the double meaning is too good; really made me laugh and cringe in ew at the same time with the pun. But also, hey good for him! This is what I think of with limerick's; so good stuff!
