Very refreshing that you didn't write a naughty limerick. Bawdiness and more seem to be a going thing on FS lately. Good to see you didn't go that way. I like this 'lim'rick' very much.

I love the limerick form. I don't think it has to be bawdy at all. This one will do nicely. :)

as it's gimmick <-- it's = it is; its = of it

No apostrophe unless you're writing the contraction for "it is". It's a bird. It's a plane. Its cape is red. See why those are correct? In the third one, you don't want to say "it is cape is red," so do not add an apostrophe.

I?m sure that the autocorrect stuck that apostrophe in there, Phyllis. Thanks for the lesson though. : )

Limericks are my absolute favorite poetry style. If I had a six star rating left you would get it. If you keep writing limericks into next week you'd get my six star ratings.

I enjoyed your lim'rick, Bill. It reads like a true limerick with that one odd word instead of a rhyme. Good job and thanks for sharing.

it's should be its unless it is part of the misspelling. Thanks for sharing. Jan

I blame autocorrect upon posting for the apostrophe.

Excellent! This poem speaks about a limerick, how it is done and how it is different from a poem and what makes a limerick; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

I like this because it isn't about much. It's lack of depth is refreshing. Sometimes, only words are enough--like a pop song that doesn't have much of a message, but a melody that sticks in your head for 50 years. I would bet money that mist people couldn't recite famous poets' works from memory, but if you asked them to regurgitate a Beatles' song, they could. So this speaks to what is really more important to Joe and Jane citizen.

Thanks, RW. I can do deep, but usually go for the ridiculous.

Same here.

Yeah, it's pretty funny, Bill.
In a sardonic, mocking and derisive sort of way.
I would say good rhyming throughout, but...heh-heh.
