Haha, I like this one! Short, but punchy and very effective. It's good to see you posting your work again Mr T ;-p

Loved it! LisaX

This is a good one. Help me with Obama--you do one & I'll do one. :)

Thank you for thinking highly of my story Wisdom Through a Mirror. This poem is short and straight to the point. It's funny. Thanks for sharing.

I love the Limerick, although it seems to be a dying art. I remember back in my school days - in the cave - they were all the rage. We had a teacher, who actually encouraged us to come up with one a day (the best one receiving a prize. They were a great way to focus on many aspects of the language discipline; a great way to get kids to use dictionaries or a thesaurus - and good fun into the bargain. See 'Stupid Aspirations' and 'A Great time for Poetry'...Thanks TC

Very nice. Gerry. xx

A great limerick, although I've been meaning to read/watch Hamlet I think this pretty much sums it up from what I've heard :)

I dont see the point. It clearly sums it up quite well, but there was nothing clever about it.

This is really bad.
How dare you!
Holy Face!

Sorry. I apoligise for that.
Being harsh never solved anything.

In relation to the theme and topic , keep it simple stupid is my advice . Address your use of metric feet and value . It should be uniform throuout the poem but you mis sections in this Limerick are way out of porportion .
The Limerick may look a simple and easy structure but the English expresion to be consise must have a little more value . Think more and give time to how you use words and metre .

Don't give up .

As for the critics - where do they get all those rules? They remind me od that guy in "Good Morning Vietnam" who kept lecturing Robin Williams' character on comedy.
