Hi Peggy,
Shouldn't it be "an egg"?
This limerick is ok metrically with a slanty rhyme at L3,L4 but I feel it is a little weak in message, almost like an exercise in form.
Although simply structured, a good limerick should leave the reader thinking "That was clever!"
This is most easily done by giving last line a twist that resolves the poem in an unexpected way. IMHO your last line needs some work and since the rhyming possibilities are large it should not be too difficult.
I hope this comment is helpful.
Hugs,
Wally
