An extract from my epic poem The Way of Trilobites, available on Amazon. See PS classified.

A classicist once might have said, That limericks are poetry, dead. Another might say, ‘Tis verse that’s at play, That speaks to the earth in our head.

Your Limerick on Limericks II is a charming continuation of the lighthearted exploration of the limerick form. You've managed to take the form's signature playfulness and inject it with a thoughtful, even philosophical edge—making this piece both fun and intellectually engaging.
