Limericks / An Actual Pun

A notorious skinflint was Peter.
He’d not pay dimes to park (what a cheater!).
Got a ticket one night,
So he stacked dynamite.
And, as you can probably guess, he blew the hell out of the meter.

Now this is a very clever and punny limerick!  Though I love how you “blew the hell out of the meter” on the last line, I think it would be more effective if the rhythm was tighter in the previous lines (particularly the second).  Bravo on the funny factor, though!  :)  Keep writing!

Hee hee.. A wonderfull little ditty about parking meeters. Your second line is kind of forced though, maybe find a way to make it flow a bit smoother.

Well this is a good idea for a limerick. The last line just doesn’t flow. You might change it too.. “and a thousand feet high went the meter!”. You might eliminate “dimes” from line two also.
