There was a young man from West Cork, Who travelled to work on a fork. When challenged for reasons, Said, "I change with the seasons! For winter, a knife has no torque."

UHUuhhh
-s: awkward, confusing
+s: this works in a limerick...although it's hardly catchy. Try some sexual innuendo in the last line.

YAY

I really like this ... get the "faux" internal rhyme work-fork!!! slight disorder of metre on line 4 and a missing "he" but it's almost absolutely wonderful

This is a great limerick. The mixture of absurdity and rationality is pure, classic Lear. Anyone who doesn't think it works, because they're only used to dirty limericks, is an idiot.
