Limericks / A what?

Amusing and enjoyable. Is the parentheses around “none of rump” necessary though? Any bathroom issues?

When I wrote it, “none of rump” seemed to be a comment made as an afterthought, hence the parentheses. No, there are no bathroom issues. Palindromedaries use every part of their food, and generate no waste. :)

Maybe, like this? (for a better rhythm…)

There once was a camel named Mary.
She was mirrored well to be merry:
Two of head, one of hump,
Four of leg (none of rump).
Purebred – a palindromedary.

I liked this a lot. The word ‘palindromedary’ was a mouthful and for me made it more fun. What I really like with this limerick is the unique and originality of it.

Keep writing.

(I remember the pushmi-pullyu… But how much you want to bet that most people don’t know which Dr. Dolittle you mean?)

“Palindromedary”... (shakes head)  That’s a terrible pun; I like it.  I’d never have expected a limerick to be so intellectual…

Yeah, pushmi-pullyu was the first thing I thought of too!

I thought it was really good, although I’m not quite sure what palindromedary means.

Hi, BlondieBlue. Look up the Pushmi-pullyu from the Doctor Doolittle stories, and imagine that it’s a camel. Thanks for your review!
