IT may be a sort of absurd task to critique a Limerick but I'm curious.
Super Man
A Super superb man of steel
on film as an idol not real
the story the same
He fights in the fray
and evil is beaten in zeal
He’s faster than bullets that bounce
On Muscles that twitch not an ounce
He feels not a hint
Of pain yet the glint
Of justice he shines in a flounce.
When beating on evil what is felt?
When fists are to break and to pelt
In faces so teeth
Are broken beneath
His pummeling blows that are dealt.
Just for fun I'll add one more:
To read this correct we suggest
That you syncopate and not rest.
Say limerick quite quick
Else meter is sick
The words must be properly stressed!
