Magdalene

A limerick about a little girl who likes to play in the rain.

Blue was the sky the day
That Magdalene came out to play
She looked up and said
With a frown on her head
"I will not get wet today..."

I feel that I needed your explanation ("A limerick about...") to understand the point of the piece. Do you think it would be possible to write it so it was clear, from the first reading and no other information, that Magdalene enjoys playing in the rain? I'd enjoy that even more.

I thought the same thing,which is why I added the explanation. I'm currently trying to find a clearer way of writing it,without extending the length too much.Thank you for the review.

Yes, that's the problem with a limerick. They rely on stereotypes and simplicity because they're very constrained.
