His reflection Mike saw in the pool. "I could kiss myself I look so cool," bragged the boy, bending low. In the pool he fell, so what a wet kiss he got, the big fool.

Water shows distorted reflections, so probably Mike looked better than usual :) Liked your creative 'wet kiss', Andrea! Congratulations on your fine win. // paul

Ha ha... that's what you get for being a narcissist. :)

A poignant symbolism of our time, like a shill for the trill, ends up in a spill. Very funny image but so relevant. Andrea, this is a good one.

This is lovely and cool.... Andrea. The narcissistic boy had a dip in the pool though he didn't wish it. Obviously he had no intention to swim. Bending too low, he must have lost his balance.

His first wet kiss...the sanitizer protected him. Hope he learned a clean lesson.

Another Very clever and fun limerick on this caption Andrea, I honestly thought of writing one about Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection, but rhyme scheme wasn’t working out, you nailed this one, A top contender for sure, cheers David
