I am of the opinion that Limericks should be Limericks. That is a five line, somewhat metered, and very bawdy, rapscallious, writes.

I agree with you 100% John, I love writing bawdy limericks but I do try to make them humourous and not obscene - there is often a fine line that is easy to cross. :-) Have a wonderful time over the festive period:-) hugs jan xx
