Limericks / free will and greed (Analysis)

I like it.  I think it has a good flow and a good message.  It’s clearly understood and the rhyming is done well.  Good luck with it.

Thank you for the review.

i prefer your second version to the first but i would consider making one change. in the last line take away the word ‘when’ so that the sentence reads: Meant to cure this disease we breed. it would flow better and kinda ties in with the first line. overall it was beautifully written and i enjoyed reading it.

I like your suggestion, but I am trying to stay true to the form. Taking out “when” would make the last line a syllable short.

This piece impresses me.
I believe it opens up this entire new perspective to look into.
Very clever thought process.
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Nice work. Keep it up.

Limerics are classic it’s true,
And this one I’ll credit to you,
But I get the feeling,
God will be reeling,
for this limerick’s one that you blew!

Sorry, the structure is fine and it makes a good point, but the second line “cancer of want over need” just does not seem to match up well. A good effort overall. Tweak it and enter it, and see what happens.

Thanks…I did indeed revise. If you get a chance, check out version 2. Let me know if you think it’s any better…and if you think God can handle my questioning. Loved the limerick response from you!
