Limerick, Poem

Hoisted By His Own Petard

Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #236
with the prompt
word  ‘bowl’. This is my limerick.

An enterprising lad with a bowl
Set himself a culinary goal: 
To be voted the best

By out-baking the rest.
 But his cake came out tasting like coal!
