Her Dream Boy Was Full of Joy

This is my FIRST attempt at a limerick.  Its for a contest, so please
let me know what you think.  Suggestions are appreciated.


She's longing for love and affection
So she tried to grab his attention
She let her "girls" go free
They were bigger than peas
He suddenly got an ********

I remember writing my first limerick. Had a chuckle here, my friend. I see Carolyn has pointed out the last line always rhymes with the first two. Apart from that, I think you did great : )

Ahh, your FIRST limerick! Love the way her "girls" were set free! I'm not qualified to judge the meter, but I got quite a laugh from this very funny poem, Robin. I used to sponsor many limerick contests, but I judged based on the quality of humor, not the meter. (Last line should rhyme with the first two - my only suggestion) Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for your kind comments. Happy Mothers Day, Carolyn

The content is pretty funny, Robin. The meter started out really good and then kind of got lost in the middle. You mostly need to rework lines three and five. I can't think right offhand how to make three work, but for line five, you definitely have to change "glee" for a word that rhymes with lines 1-2. Oh, I got it:: He suddenly got an erection! hahaha. Now that is bawdy!!! Oh, I got line 3: So her "girls" she let free (da da DAH da da DAH)

This was an entertaining write. Just for your information, the rhyming scheme for a true limerick is AABBA. Your fifth line in this write should end rhyme with a word ending with "tion". Here's a mere suggestion: how about replacing that fifth line with "He surprisingly shouts happily without hesitation"?
