Limericks / Cactus

Good points luckywishbone, Thanks!

Actually the syllable count is correct although your the second person mentioning it, but different lines. Try http://www.wordscount.info/hw/syllable.jsp
The count here is;99669
I choose the word prick for it’s pun on Cactus and that it means to take a poke at or annoy someone which I think fits the theme. I appreciated your perspective and that you read it through:)

Ah I get the syllable count now. The way I was reading it in my head gave limericks in the first line only one syllable so the second line didn’t seem to fit.
And I now understand the last line too.
I like it a lot more now so thumbs up to you!

Thanks robsyn, it’s still by far not a great limerick and I pick up on that from feed back. I feel the last line struggles myself :)

Yes the last would struggles a bit, thank you.

Thank you, I agree with the last accented syllable, do you mean for example, (limericks – politics). I ran the last line through a syllable counter and it found 9.
