Myfanwy, in far Aberystwyth
Used a lipstick no man should be kystwyth,
Its indelible smear
Every morning made clear
Whom last night she'd walked in the mystwyth!

That's ok
A Welsh limerick. Now there's lovely
-
Cute...but I don't know if the first word is My Fany or my fanway..
The rest I get fully haha
-
-
Myfanwy is a VERY typical Welsh female name! The "y's" are pronounced as short "i" sounds (the sound of the "i" in "bit") and the stress is on the second syllable.
-
-
Ah thank you for explaining...I've never heard it before.

I don't quite understand what mystwyth means. good job though
-
hehe
this one made me laugh thanks for sharing best of luck -
Oh, I wish I knew who you were... I don't know how those words you've written would sound. -- I'm not trying to be mean, but if you could enlighten me I might find the humor in this.
I love a good limerick, and I'm sure this is funny sounding with a lisp... but I can't figure it out.
I'm SORRY, I'd rather be honest then lie... -
-
There is no "lisp" involved in "Kiss and Tell" It is simply an example of the long-standing tradition of (mis-)spelling the rhyme words in lines 2 and 5 of a limerick to match the spelling in the first line to add to the fun.
Aberystwyth is a town in Wales - and that is how it is spelt. It is pronounced as: Ab-er-wrist-with. The stress is on the "wrist".
In this limerick it rhymes with "kissed with" and "mist with".

Clever, short and powerfully to the point. A great entry for the contest, best of luck and thanks for submitting.

Hello. An amusing limerick. The words created to fit in is cleverly done. Congratulations on the Gold Trophy that it has won. My regards.
-
Cute write, congrats on the gold trophy!! It's humorous, and definitely very original.
-
Some presents for writing such a great limerick:
lol
-
Now this is really clever but it takes some doing to read. Nicely done and thank you for entering.
-
Not laugh out loud but still a gentle smile passed over my gorgeous gob. I liked mystwyth/kystwyth etc. These little Welsh persons are so cute now they have been allowed out of their coal mines, don't you think, bach?
-
-
lol...cute limerick..creative words you made out here..
thoroughly enjoyed!
-
qwacking writing vera me owd duck.
seriously, very "Little Britain"
the Gilbert and Nash of today. I'm sure you'll disagree heartily. That's why I loves yer!
-
LOL
what a great play on the language!
This made me chuckle
-
-
Well, I do think that if one wants to write humorous verse, one should try and make the verse itself work for one... Think of the wonderfully cheeky rhymes of W.S.Glibert and Ogden Nash... And spelling games likewise - some of the "classic" limericks we learned as children turned on tricks of spelling...
I remember one that we used to put in each other's albums - about a "Young lady called N----, who ate too much ice-cream and j----, And again and again Did loudly complain As she lay with great pain in her BED."
Remember - this was more than 60 years ago, when far more words were considered impolite than nowadays!...
-
-
LOL ...
now this is funny. Good job.
-
This delicate Cambrian flawr
Used to snog in the fog with such pawr;
From Borth to Llanrhystud
Many poor hearts were bhystud,
And her beaux all cried, “Daro! Duw mawr!”
Oh Vera, do keep these coming - they are priceless!
