"Can You Count The 'NED's?" - A Limerick

[creatr]

"It was all kind of fuzzy, as if his mind was doing its thinking in limericks." - Sorin Suciu

I love limericks, simply because they are fun.

Imagine my delight when @writing-trail's new limerick contest was announced.

One of the constraints of this week's challenge is to end the first line with the word "NED." I decided I would make this poetry challenge even more fun for myself, and so I added a couple of constraints for myself.

I wanted to see if I could end every line with "NED."

Then I threw in a few more "NED"s just for the fun of it.

Enjoy!

Here's my first entry

in @writing-trail's "WRITE A LIMERICK" contest:

---

"Can You Count The 'NED's?"

Learned Ned, poet, maintained,
that his vic’try was surely ordained.
“What I've penned is renowned!”
But he remained uncrowned
when an A/I the honor attained.

Seriously, can you count the "NED"s in my limerick? Please leave your answer in the comments below... 😉

Thanks for your time and attention.
You are why I'm here on Steemit!

"Learned Ned, poet, maintaiNED," <- The end of the first line is indeed "NED."
