Probably, we are all shooting wide of the mark, as to what a limerick ought to be. THANKs,, I see that you are asking us to create some juicier and more clever ones, by adhering to the genre. |

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
