Is this a sea worthy Limerick?

Question

Limerick #1

By C.S. Scotkin

There once was a gal on an island

Who liked to cry out on a pilin’

Watch tides in and out

Till she gave a shout,

“My ship’s come in at last” and she’s smilin’

Answer 1

Let's all lift our glass in a toast

To this lady who lives near the coast

She's smart and she's funny

Her poems bright and sunny

And friend, that's a fact, not a boast!!

hurrah.

Answer 2

Of all the delightful images created here, one stood out more than the rest. Yelling at me. Screaming to me. Alerting me........Limerick # 1

That can only mean there will be more......I'm baiting my breath.....GM

Answer 3

It works.  

Answer 4

So close.

"Pylon" would work in L2.

And the last line is too long.

"Her ship has come in and she's smilin"

Answer 5

I am not sure what a "pilin' " is but I would imagine a pylon would be something by the sea she may sit on and cry. (am I being regional again?)

* pilin' for me is another medical term. :-)

Otherwise it's a really good limerick arrgh to be shore to be shore.

Answer 6

There is not enough  talk of s*x... sorry... it is the only kind of limericks I know... Not one mention of Nantucket, the port all seamen go.

Answer 7

im loving how your exploring so many avenues of writing, and while i will always love the man from nantucket, i like this G rated limerick...

Answer 8

Arrrrrrgh, me matey! Aye, this be sea-worthy indeed. In fact, I might just load it on me boat and sail away with it! Avast!
