'I’m afraid, I confess
My love life’s a mess
But I just seem to keep going down.
The man tripped and fell on his face
The man tripped and fell on his face
And knew that he’d lost on an ace
The man tripped and fell on his face
And knew that he’d lost on an ace
Then he saw, on the floor
The man tripped and fell on his face
And knew that he’d lost on an ace
Then he saw, on the floor,
Not one ace, but four more,
Just trying to help out when I thought someone was stuck. Carry on without me.

So he flushed and ran out of the place.

I was wholly surrounded by chicks

It was boobs to my right
At the left, tits were tight

I was wholly surrounded by chicks
It was boobs to my right,
To my left… quite a sight!

Okay, let’s go for something topical.

A single smart cell in her brain.

Thank you, Astorian. Lines 2+3 were too uncritical, but 4+5 were exactly what I hoped.
I can’t speak for the writer of the third line, but I assure you I was well aware of the (type of) climax you had envisaged, and was moving things along in that direction.
I’d be pretty sure that the writer of the third line was also mindful of your drift but was also aware that a foundation ‘story’ needs to be laid before a final punchline.
Actually, I thought it turned out pretty well - better than most things designed by a committee.
Orson is quite correct. The foundation must be laid. If the First-Liner was hoping for five lines of she’s-a-moron, he misunderstands the limerick and perhaps would be best suited hanging with the Haiku Madness crowd.
