I'm really obsessed about rhyming
Writing words that are pealing and chiming
So a contest like this
Is a real piece-of-piss
.. so long as I stay completely focussed and concentrate on my timing.......
Author notes
Replaced the original final line:
'but I must concentrate on my timing'
It seemed like the right thing to do.....

This made me laugh. I noticed that some of the others who commented may have missed the humor here, but that's how humor sometimes is. Nice write.
-
I like the first four lines but you lose the flow with the last one. Good luck in the contest and happy trails
-

Interesting write none the less
Thanks for entering

made me chuckle!

This did crack me up. That last line really brings the already apparent irony into full view. Congrats on the hilarity!

Elaine,
Yeah, gotta love the limerick. Most people don't consider them 'real' poetry, but they have a long history and are just as valid a poetic form as the cinquain and the haiku - it's important to have a sense of humour.
Glad I cracked a smile anyway!
