I found this through Read & Review, but I had to double check the year since we're currently on the tail end of the Chinese New Year celebration period.

Reading your limerick made me wonder what these rules mean? You must have found out about these specific things to put them into this poem. No cleaning ... I don't know how realistic it is to have rousing parties and then not pick up. No theft. Now that is a nice one. It's definitely good to know that it's frowned upon to pickpocket the revelers. Sharp objects and crowds don't mix well either. No schmoozing? Aww (make it sound very sad in your mind). Why even have a party if there isn't a little happy time after sunset?

As you say, what do we have to lose if we keep to those rules? Nothing, except the pile of cleaning will be huge after that party time.

I know it may not work with the meter that is required here, but if there was one suggestion, it would be to say no theft instead of just theft. I know it says No at the beginning of the sentence and a list follows, but that's the one where I got stuck for a second and had to rationalize that they surely don't encourage theft or sharp objects.

Reading this put a swirl of red dragons dancing into my mind.
