I'm surprised this wasn't higher. Change the first two words around in the second line and I think she wouldn't have found fault with the meter. What limericks should be. Joyce

oh my now this one was Bawdy!! A good and dirty limerick. My only little complaint was line two meter was a bit off. But that last line, what a punch line!!! Congrats.

Thanks, I made an edit. I didn't catch it before, but I think the meter is perfect, now. Cheers, Roy
