Thanks!
Limericks / Do as I say…
A limerick is only alive
With a rhyme in lines one, two and five.
Lines three and four yet
Must form a couplet
Or else the whole poem is flawed.

cute. it catches everything that a limmerick should have. it explains exactly what a limmerick should be in the correct structure. you’re right -- its subtle -- but there. the only thing i would change is the last line. i feel that the rhyming isnt correct. i dont know what to replace it with—but it should stay with the “five, alive, ...” thingy.
overall—good

I laughed when I finished reading it. Good work, informative and funny.
It reminds me of the old “joke poem” – “Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m schizophrenic and so am I.” You might replace flawed with another word to make it more obvious, like wrong or amiss.
Great example!
I can find no flaws!
Very funny! You obviously dropped it on our heads “flawed”.
Your flaw being intended I ll go no further :)
To be honest before i read it i couldn’t remember what a limerick involved, but now i know. Very catchy.
I loved this, it really made me smile.
And I understood it too haha.
LOL…it’s a squeaker and it is very very subtle, but fun. Your second line is a bit awkward. I wonder if there is another way to say “With a rhyme…”
Not the best I have read but it works.

It is so subtle, I missed it. Even using regional dialects, I was unable to get line 5 to rhyme with lines 1 and 2. OK, what’s the secret? How should it be read?
I rarely read limericks,so if this is true,I’m assuming you purposely did not rhyme line five (?). I see no sight rhyme, no sound rhyme… clever, if it was on purpose,and forgive me for this, silly if not.
Best of luck, and keep writing
