Yes, I like this limerick too, the wit and humor in injected with clean fun that even children will enjoy reading. An excellent write. God bless, good luck in the contest.

Okay, Annie. You've got me confounded (which isn't that very hard to do). I'm sure that I'm missing out on the 'potion' but have problems putting it together.

It is just a silly limerick for a limerick contest. I don't know how to enlighten you on how to read it except to check the contest and it states how the rhythm should go. Thanks for the stars and review and let me know if I can assist in any way.

I think I get the humor here- the potion was hexed giving her the ability to swim in the ocean but only in slow motion? I hope she does not sink. I guess there is a reason why the most common swimming stroke is called the Austrailian crawl. Good luck in the contest.

This is a good limerick with the right meter and rhyme scheme and an unusual theme. (I like the non-bawdy ones the best, although I know that bawdy is sort of encouraged in limericks.) Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Oh Annie - this is a really good Limeric - perfectly constructed in 9/9/6/6/9. Amusing, and a good read. A good entry and I wish you good luck. Warm regards Dorothy x

Limerick Contest writing prompt entry meets the requirements of the contest and engages the reader with a metered rhythm and solid rhyme, as a lymerick should. The humorous ending is fitting and fun. All the best in the contest. :0 GracieAnn

This is a very good limerick poem. Excellent rhyming and you depict a visual picture of someone going oh sooooo slowly! The one challenge you may have is that the poem doesn't depict an Irish sense of bawdiness. Good luck in the contest and I will be voting. -Bill

Thanks for your review and comments. I was not aware of having to get a sense of 'bawdiness' in my entry. If so I will surely get caught on it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I like the idea of the driftwood bobbing past. That tells you how fast she really swam.
Very clever.
All the best in the contest. :)

very well done in Limerick style. I like the rhymes you used and the plot of the story moves along "swimmingly" You've done a good job with this contest entry.

A solid limerick poem. It is descriptive and allows the reader to conjur up a vivid picture of a not so successful swim in the ocean. Well done and good luck in the competition.
