Not a limerick but I want to share my favorite pun joke

I once submitted ten puns to a pun contest, hoping one would win, but
No pun intended

HA! Nice!

I always thought that joke needs an actual pun in the first half so the "no pun intended" has a valid double meaning. I came up with:

I told the sad ghost ten puns to raise its spirits. No pun intendid.

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's word play.

No pun intended.
"No pun in ten did [win the contest]"

[–] ahal@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes I understand. It works spelled that way. But "no pun intended" doesn't work because there was no pun in the initial setup. In my version both meanings make sense
