Five daughters of age to be married,
a mother who flustered and flurried;
with a cad one took flight,
two wed happily, despite;
(pride and prejudice humbled and buried).

More than well done;-)

Hi Rhiannon. Fantastic to see such acclaim for your limerick. Like others have said above, they appear easy but are tricky to get right. I think you really pulled it off here. Works a treat. Congrats on cherry.

Apologies for being so late reading this. Thought it was really clever and such a difficult thing to do.

Hi Rhiannon
Hi Rhiannon
Limericks are such fun, and this was such a specific topic, that it took a lot of thinking to get the meter right, and tell the story all in five lines.
