My Attempt At a Limerick

the neighbor's grass is always greener
and their house is always cleaner
but just remember
that come December
their family won't be any leaner

Adam, You met the criteria of a Limerick (syllables and rhyme) but the message you're conveying is bewildering to me. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see that your poem was featured.

I would say this is well done for a lemerick. I enjoyed the humor, I could go on and on about who and how this makes me feel. I think people will laugh because they can relate to it. Well done, thanks for sharing. Judy Riley
