Well the teacher suggested our feet
Were too smelly, and that isn't neat,
That the fumes that arose
Were offense to the nose
And the odor was most indiscrete.

Cute limerick, Pete  

Which form were you trying to display (Iambic, anapestic or trochaic)?

hehe Couldn't get a rise out of you..you're too clever

You did good, Pete. Limericks are basically 5 anapestic lines consisting of 9,9,6,6, and 9 syllables.

Very wise of you to know that...

Wonderful to see you Pete, poet who's not a poet, but happens to master meter like only few do. Great limerick! I may try one myself.

Tis a need that you wash your own feet,
So as mine, they be fragrant and sweet,
And your lover won't yell
At the loathsomest smell,
But will let you back under the sheet.
