Man you have truly mastered this form.
But it was my 11th Neopoet birthday recently and I want to ask you for a pressie.
Write a dirty limerick. Go on, just one.
Jess
shall i try a limerick? thanks for stimulating a good idea..haven't done it for a while..will give it a go...

Go for it, Raj!
For something that it is often dismissed for smutty content Limericks are a surprisingly difficult form to master. They are also excellent exercises in meter, rhyme and wit.
They also demonstrate how form affects content. The form itself is funny. I ran a workshop a while ago challenging people to write a serious limerick. Very few succeeded.

I will certainly post a Limerick as soon as a window opens for me to post...as for the Workshop on serious limerick I was an active participant....was it a workshop or a contest?
Regards...

Happy 11th Neopoet birthday.
To honour your long and forthright
association with the Neopoet website
I thought that it would only be right
to mention you in the limerick I write.
Warrior bearing Weirdelf name
His reviews bare those in the frame
Targeted cower
Or flee to cover
To avoid the revealing game
Thank you, sir
I appreciate it.
Especially for stepping outside your comfort zone into a new form. And very well done.
Weirdelf
You are most welcome and I appreciate your challenges.
