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
