In Competition No. 3104 you were invited to encapsulate the life story of a well-known person, living or dead, in three limericks.
 
The limerick form was neatly summed up by the late Paul Griffin, long-time competitor and a regular winner on these pages:
 

A limerick’s short and it’s slick;
Like a racehorse it has to be quick:
The front may seem calm
And cause no alarm
But the end is the bit that can kick.
