Interesting. I looked at the picture for quite a while, deciding how I might respond to the challenge. I wasn't sure why the children had such strange looks, perhaps even horrified, on their faces. You certainly addressed that aspect!
Oh glory girl...your DARK side is showin'! Heeeheehhee!!!
At first I thought it sounded like lunch at Geek Son's and the Latin' Lovin' Hillbilly's yesterday with salad and no forks but we had no dead bodies! Heeehehehe!
Typically, limericks are funny or satirical. Your limerick here is surprisingly dark and horrific. A creative twist on a popular style of poetry, Gail. Thank you for sharing this unique write. =D

That's a whole new interpretation of that Gauguin painting. It would put the art world in an uproar. Well done, Gail. Very chilling. xox
