Shama's Dilemma Limerick

There once was a girl named Shama
Who wondered about her karma
As a poet her rhymes
Were always out of time
To most her terza rima was trauma








Deborah's
limerick contest

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/18/2011 12:53:00 PM The meter requirements are driving me bonkers, Linda. I gave more significance to syllable counts. Each to his own. However, I just love your limerick and hope you do well in Deb's latest contest! I always found limericks to be a source of entertainment. Now they seem more like a chore. Yours is very funny and I would rank it high! Love, Carolyn
