Thank you both for your kind comments. I don't think I will write anymore poems... I'll quit whilst I am ahead!

Best wishes

The limerick is not only funny, it meets the criteria of the form very well. The meter and rhyme are great. It has the last line 'hook' and reads smoothly ... as a limerick should.
Excellent example!
