Jinx Inx was her name, Inx.jinx@gmail her email.
She bought a scale on sale to measure the length of her nail.
But the nail polish got stuck on the scale.
Jinxed went blue and let out a wail!
Clicked nail ‘selfie’ and tried to send it by air-mail! ! !
I found it very funny, Roop. Limericks should have lines,1,2 & 5 rhyme And lines 3 & 4 rhyme. The syllable count is usually; 9 9 6 6 9 But I have no problems with developing a personal style. I enjoyed this! Peace
Dancing words, A classical limerick is hidden in this. only editing is required. limerick's usual pattern is 8 8 55 8 syllable style. Variants are there. But I fully respect your style. Thanks for sharing..
Enjoyed reading your pretty limerick and also enjoyed magic of words. Wonderful, amazing write. Thanks for sharing.
It could have been a nice tongue twister too. Enjoyed the fun you made with words.
Enjoyed your limerick Roop! The fun is enhanced by the play of words. But as Kelly has rightly said.... a conventional limerick has a special rhyme scheme. If we strictly follow it, we often feel a real constraint.... the rhyme scheme is a little different from what Kelly has instructed...! I am taught that the first two lines and the last one should rhyme and should be between..7 to 10 syllables and the third and fourth line should also rhyme and should not exceed 7 syllables!
oh thank you Valsa... WOW... how much we learn from each other. and thank you specially for sharing your knowledge

Good one, indeed! The limerick bug has bitten you too! I think you have associated too much with our limerick adept Valsa-ji. Thanks to Mr. Kurt for spelling out the rules. I didn't know that.
ha ha ha... Actually I am a great fan of Valsa.. She inspires me. I'm hoping she will read this silly limerick and pass her comments.
