Limericks / Limericks from the Left #9

It seems that the accented and unaccented syllables are off in lines 1-3, yet 4 and 5 pick up the beat nicely.
This is a great topic…seems pretty “heavy” for the light-hearted limerick, though.
I do like the earth’s point of view.

Yeah you for getting the syllable count good AND making it rhyme where it’s supposed to rhyme.  I like the flow and message.  It’s a catchy tune about some important stuff.  Maybe you should forward it to Al Gore.  Bravo!

I like the style and the content, though I disagree with it.  The world has been through continuous floods, volcanic eruptions earthquakes, typhoons, multiple Ice Ages, asteroids, etc.  I think it’s safe from styrofoam! =o))  Nice job!

A bit heavy of a message for something as whimsical as a limerick, but it’s okay. I think the first line has one too many syllables.

The first line has 9 syllables just like it’s supposed to. As far as heavy, if you read my other Limericks you’ll see most of them have a political or social message, but thanks for taking the time to do a review.

Truer words were never spoken. Your syllable counts are spot on, but your first line feels like it has 4 beats instead of 3. Otherwise, another well constructed “Lefterick”.
