I’m straying away from the norm It’s stressing me out to conform A fave form I must adjust - The last line’s bitten the dust! Sweet Nina is causing mischief I’m sobbing, she’s causing me grief Limerick’s are divine - This one’s missing a line! My chosen form now has mutated It’s modern, the old ones outdated Will my new form catch on Now the last line has gone! I’ve invented the ‘slimerick’ it’s a traditional limerick form but with the final line missing! Mischief Contest Sponsor Nina Parmenter 9/5/18

Hahaha- you made me laugh. I myself haven't a clue, as this to me is all new, but I like your fun and dry sense of humour and your wicked, Slimerick!!
