excellent. The thing I appreciate most is the rhythm. It sounds easy to me, and no doubt to you, but so many people seem to struggle.

Thanks. Limericks do have their own distinctive rhythm. If they don’t, then they’re not really a limerick, just a five line poem. 😂

It’s anapaestic. (sounds like plateful of Italian cured meats).

The important thing, is to pick a good challenging word (in terms of rhyme choices) for the end of the first line. I think various is a brilliant choice!! 😀 You took various and said “Watch this, challenge!” And there it was… a Hobboesque slam dunk!
