Sue, Who Trained With Animals

For competitive champion, Sue,
there was nothing that she wouldn’t do
to win a big race.
To better her pace,
she would practice with a kangaroo!

She got a huge cat, and much thinner
she got as she trained to be winner.
But that sly horrid beast
turned her into a feast
too lean for a good cheetah dinner!

What a sad ending! It teaches one not to train with large animals! Good job! Matthew Anish

This limerick is thought provoking with a deadly twist. It just goes to show we never know what is going to happen from one day to the next. Good job.

Now that's some practice! "she would practice with a kangaroo!" "turned her into a feast"; that's a real pickle to be in...apparently Sue did everything in a big way, including choosing a cat! Hilarious Limerick; well done. Best of luck in the contest.

The ending reminds me of my favorite cartoon movie, The Cruds. If you have not seen it lately, I highly recommend it.
