I often use my Mad Kane limerick on Open Link Monday at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads because I seldom, if ever, write poetry except in response to a prompt these days. Hmm, it's hard to believe I used to write poetry in response to everything and everyone I saw, heard, or imagined, when I was young.This week's opening line for Mad Kane's Limerick-Off is "a woman would frequently pose" which, of course, led to all kinds of men as well as more than a few women having entirely too much fun.
Madeleine always offers an alternative ("a fellow would frequently pose") but also says everything in the first line can be changed except the last word. Thanks, Madeleine!

the answers, so guesses

in poetry, lyrics, and prose

Ha! Well this one is rather close to home for me :)
It's a nice limerick, Kay. Yes, it is a pitty that all the time we have for writing is done mostly for prompts.
But then on our own we wouldn't be getting nearly so many of those desired comments.

Kay, your limerick is so apt to the school setting, familiar to most at one time or another.:)
A very superior limerick you have produced. The “there was a . . . “ variety are much less inventive.
What fun!
Chuckles, Kay! It's so refreshing with one's own prompt. I like limericks. There's elements of wit that makes it interesting!

Clever, Kay. For sure, teachers have often asked impossible questions that led to me being in a mess!
Very charming! k .
My hubby was a teacher so I can relate to this ~ Happy Monday ~
You are always clever Kay!
This one speaks volumes~
Love it!
Hope you are feeling better~(((hugs)))
Excellent, Kay - top marks:-)A**
Clever, kiddo!
This is very snappy. I am "limerickless" ... I've tried, they are just not in me.
