Limericks
(Okay I am mad now, I typed this stuff out and now I have to type it again!)
Rules of a Limerick A limerick is a 5 line poem where the 1s 2nd and 5th line rhyme, they also have a rythmical pattern of 3 groups of stressed and unstressed syllables. The 3rd and 4th line rhyme with eachother and have the pattern of 2 groups of stressed and unstressed syllables. (Note: Not all Limericks follow these exact guidelines) Try to make your own!!!! Here are some examples.... There once was a man of Perth Who was born on the day of his birth he was married they say on his wife's wedding day and he died when he quitted the earth. There once was an old man from Denver Who had a hard time to remember He went out to a diner And ate nothing finer But her didn't get home till September There was a man from Devizes who had ears of different sizes the one that was small was no use at all but the other won several prizes There once was a lady from Pright Whose speed was much faster than light She set out one day in a relative way And returned home the previous night A diner while dining in Crewe Found a large mouse in his stew Said the waiter,"Don't shout And wave it about or the others will be wanting one too." There once was a girl called Susie Whose mother had called her a floozy When she left her old house She saw a great mouse And suddenly felt very woozy There was a young maid from Madras Who had a magnificent a$$; Not rounded and pink, As you probably think--- It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass There once was a kid named Darren Who's room was surprisingly barren He had no toys Like all normal boys But he did believe in sharing There was a young lady from Niger, Who smiled as she rode on a tiger. After the ride She was inside, And the smile was on the face of the tiger. There once was a poet named Dan, Who's poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He said, "Yes, I know" "It's because I try to put every possible syllable into the very last line that I can" !! To Hilary Clinton said Bill, I think we're staying on Capital Hill, 'Cause that tired old timer, Dole, Is digging himself a deep hole, And the White Water thing's a cheap thrill. There once was a lady named Lynn Who was so uncommonly thin, that when she assayed to drink lemonade, she slipped through the straw and fell in! A wonderful bird is the Pelican. His beak can hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak Enough food for a week! But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican? There once was a fellow named Jim Who took his girl out for a spin The speedometer rose The gas pedal froze They found parts of her but not him (LISP) A thpeeth teacther named Mitheth Bathye Had thome thtudentth who acted quite lathye; They lithped and they thputtered, And thome of them th-th-thtuttered: She thought they might jutht drive her crathye. A canner exceedingly canny One morning remarked to his granny A canner can can Anything that he can But a canner can¹t can a can, can he? There was a young lady named Slater Who married an old alligator. The night that they wed They climbed into bed, But rather than mate her, he ate her. The once was a woman named Pat Who just ate butter and sat; She withered away Until one day Nothing was left butter fat. By beauty I am not a star. There are others more handsome by far. My face I don't mind it. because I'm behind it. It's the people in front that I jar. There was a young boy in my way Who was always happy and gay He jumped and he ran Like a crazy old man To avoid the fast moving sleigh
