Wow, so long since I've seen one of these, always thought they were fun and this is no exception.
i absolutely love limericks!
I got the rest, but I'm 99.99% sure "dapled" isn't a word. Did you mean "dappled?"
What are you on about Omega?
Me thinks Omega needs to reread the ANSWER...

This one really appealed to me, especially since we just had an unusual amount of snow here.

Fun, & nice n easy, thanks!
Cute and fun.
Got the first & last one
Surely this is junior level?
Kudos to whomever wrote the limerick. That was clever and fun. I like the double meaning of the final line. As a teaser I found it trivial. However, I see from the comments that many found it challenging, so I suppose it was a good teaser as well.
I found it easy, but quite entertaining!
Very easy, but I like limericks, so I rated it in the middle. And the words were chosen well, with rhyming words that aren't spelled exactly alike. Very creative.
