What a great surprise. All three of those are so, so wonderful, and so clever. The first is a Beautiful homage to October, and the change of seasons, and the last two are absolutely laugh out loud funny!

I am sad that no Limerick with a black cat in it has won, mine included.

These are awesome, though.

Black cats are cool, and perfect for October. Try again in November! 🦃

I can't decide which is funnier: The frisky old lass or poor aghast Guy. I agree with Lauren, it was lucky I wasn't drinking anything!

For some reason I’ve always thought limericks a male thing, so I’m both surprised and thrilled that all three winners are women. Chalk one up for this middle aged-ish female person widening my horizons.

It feels good to let go of some of the strictures of propriety

Will I get rich if my limerick clicks?

If it doesn't, I'll be i a fix.

Creditors will scowl,

Landlord will cry "Foul!".

Ad I will run off to the sticks.
