Limericks / A Cat With a Yen

You never had a yen for Doritoes? It’s a hankerin’.
Limericks have strict constraints-There was an old man of kentucky, who was never what you could call lucky, a lamp in his den said “A genie’s within” but when rubbed it produced only Chucky.
All limericks have this same format and sound.
The first,second, and fifth line rhyme and the second and third rhyme with each other -there are only 5 lines.
Can’t explain by lengthening it. It’s self-explanatory. A cat with an itch, travel feet, whatnot, took a hike , which his owner did not like. She placed an ad in the lost and found section of the newspaper (usually free for missing pets)and it reunited them-anyone in 5th grade gets this-because somebody who found the cat looked in the ads to try to locate the owner. Was successful, and the owner and cat reunited. What do you mean, I  need to give a clearer, let alone much clearer,  idea of what I’m trying to accomplish with the limerick? Plug the newspaper. Pen a limerick. Tell a little tale with a happy ending .Portray two responsible people- the concerned owner who didn’t just let him roam for weeks to get hit by a car, the good citizen who checked to see if the cat was missed by someone,  an owner he could feel good about helping. He obviously took the cat in or at least the cat was hanging out somewhere he was able to direct the owner to. I have my worries about you!

I get it all, it all works, even saying a newspaper name like, the Moneysaver Paper put an end to the caper--all I don’t get is how taking re off unite would work. But I agree with all the others-—you are a very thoughtful reviewer! I hope you do see that work in print you want to!

when a free ad (4 beats) let them (2 beats) reunite (3 beats) for a total of 9 and you need 8 to match the other lines.

consider me trying to play cribbage and count to 15—it’s almost beyond me at times.  I use my fingers even on these and my parrot counts with me.
