LIMERICK
A limerick is a five line verse with the rhyme scheme of aabba.
The a-lines should have five feet, while the b-lines have only three feet.
It is normally, but not always light or humorous.
A Day Challenge
You take up the challenge to write,
then stay up all day and all night.
To think of a verse
can be a real curse.
You want all the words to be right.
Don¨t worry if your words sound daft.
Remember it¨s only a draft
and then if you¨re wise
next month you¨ll revise
and wonder if others have laughed.
You might have enough for a book.
If you haven¨t, don¨t cry or sook.
Sit down and write more
than you did before.
When it¨s published I¨ll have a look.
I wish you success with your dreams.
It¨s easy if we work in teams
so all in due course
lets give it more sauce.
It isn¨t as tough as it seems.
Kitchen Capers
There¨s capers afoot in the kitchen.
The cat is quite drunk and it¨s twitchin¨,
It drank two pints of ale,
Then lapped up a cocktail,
Danced a jig then said, ＾It¨s bewitchin¨.￣
Why?
Two towers crashed down from the sky
Causing innocent people to die
Terror and war
What is it for?
I never will understand why
A Limerick for Paul
A middle aged man called Paul
Said ｀No¨ when his angel did call
Please go away
I want to stay
I¨m living and having a ball
I know that I¨ll meet you one day
But for now just please go away
I¨m writing a book
If you want you can look
Just go and let me have my say
I¨m good you can check with my wife
But sometimews I find I¨m in strife
Don¨t pinch my car
Or you won¨t get far
And I¨ll make you pay with your life
I don¨t want to meet the Grim Reaper
But he seems to think he¨s my keeper
Now¨s not my time
I¨m busy with rhyme
He¨ll just have to dig that grave deeper
Christine
There once was a girl called Christine
She smoked far too much nicotine
She coughed and she spluttered
The Doc came and muttered
She has to go in quarantine
Monique
There once was a girl called Monique
She had such a perfect physique
Her bust is so round
But mine can¨t be found
Beside her I feel quite a freak
Bertie and Gertie
A couple called Bertie and Gertie
Said life will begin when you¨re thirty
You lose inhibition
Try any position
Enjoy getting flirty and dirty
Ask
Don¨t read your teenagers diary
Life at home could become fiery
It¨s an easier task
More respectful to ask
Just make a discreet enquiry
