Comment from Willowsong

Good

This has good rhythm and rhyme and meets the syllabic count for a limerick precisely. Think perhaps the barnyard humor could have had a bit more depth to it but it does have an interesting view of the day to day life of a farmer.

A very funny limerick, and a very good chance entry in this poetic competition! The artwork is very appropriate to this poem, the repetitive rhyme adds to its uniqueness! Well done, blessings, Roy.

Ha ha, yeah, the mask was a must when milking old Lass, kiwijenny. This is a true story, and no one would milk her but me. She gave the sweetest milk, though, despite her bovine flatulence, lol. Thanks again!

I like this limerick of just five lines. A cautious tale of clouds passing. (undetected)

Were it any more (and drifting towards Jersey) I would have to fall off the chair backwards in reproach. Hick!

Guernsey is our next island, NO LESS. It is also next door.

Just twenty or less miles away. NO MORE, depending on how you hold the sex.. Hum... tant.. and backwards only in reproach by the second line..

Silence now, everyone and others, it is firmly held that Jersey... 'JERSEY' ... will AND would never wager five pints of Mary Ann ale against a slice of Guernsey Gosh.

The Germans never managed it buttttt... well -- we're all the same now. Arn't we?... Have they gone yet? Well I don't know do I?

Do you think the bloke with the limeric is still reading this?

I do hope not.

Nahh! he can't be. Ees married..

Jersey cows go one better as everyone nows, day ave a black plastic fing on there arse. Wiff a big bottle an a tube on the back. I meen every won nows dat.

A poem written with that breezy and most concise humour. And (Ohhh!) most visual and enjoyable(?)under the cows tail.

Many a review in vain. One more to me... Best wishes :( mel.

Hah ha, that was quite a review, mel! I'm really happy that you liked it, too.

I'm glad you liked my review. You named Guernsey a little island next to ours. I was so surprised and 'tired' shall we say, after an evening out when I wrote it.
An excellent poem. :) mel.

Thanks again, Mel. I've always appreciate you, and your support.

a good limerick poem to enter into the contest. It has all the requirements for the prompt. I should be under humor poetry and not general fiction.

good luck in the contest. Mary

Very funny. You got the rhyme and rhythm just right. The story it tells is funny and not bad enough to be bawdy. You did a great job!

Whew, thanks, RHYME4U, I tried to be very careful and adhere to your rules. It is a true story, too! Nobody but me would milk poor old Lassie. But, she gave the sweetest milk.

Thanks so much again.

I've heard that something like 20% of Earth's carbon emissions come from cows farting, so I'll pass on milking them myself.

I think you just about get away with the rules here, and anyway, it is funny.

Cheers, Ted
