[ A fisherman angling for trout ]

A fisherman angling for trout
Was beset by a large waterspout
It twirled him around;
Tossed him out on the ground
In a rout, with a trout up his snout.

Author notes

Honestly, I don't know what you mean 'not too long'. A Limerick is exactly as long as a Limerick is. If it is not that length then it is not a Limerick.

      We all need a little luck.

      I like Limericks, but I never save them. They're like butterflies to set free.

      A Deedee from Dallas, that's D
      Grew out in the chest heavily
      To hold herself back
      She would wear a rucksack
      That double d Deedee from D.

    I was referring to chain limericks , just as paperparadox suggested.

    ...Perhaps the judge meant a chain limerick?

    Anyway, I enjoyed a giggle at this one! Yay for the 'underfish' getting a helpful pay out from the waterspout!

      Underfish

      Not going there. Not going there. Not going there.

      Did I ever tell..

      Not going there. Not going there.

      Triumph of good.

      I watched a movie the other day which proposed that Underdog was what stimulated the drug culture. I have no reason to rebuff this concept.

      "The secret compartment of my ring I fill
      With an Underdog super energy pill"

      How can we be blamed for all of our addictions with that legitimising them?

      And as for that previous thought combining underwaer with ......

      Not going there. Not going there!

      Darned evil notions.

      Smile on.
