Let's Write a Limerick!​

Hi everyone! We'd love to have a go at writing a limerick as a group You'll need to post the next line that will follow the last comment in the thread.

Here are the basic rules:

5 lines
Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme
Distinctive rhythm
Usually funny

Here is an example of a limerick:

There was an old man named Jake,
Who ate only spuds and beefsteak,
He drank, and he smoked,
And told dirty jokes,
And died young at a hundred and eight.

I'll get us started:

There was an old man in a tree...

There was an old man in a tree
Who had a dispute with a bee
He got stung so bad

Which made him sad

Thank goodness I didn't have a pee!

There was an old man in a tree
He was not at all happy
He called a guide
To bring a slide
To get his sad ass free

Writing limericks can be great fun
When all is said and done
But it would be more fun
If we could be like Skoob doo
And all just go to the Zoo

 

[Joyem]

There was a little lady who lived in a shoe

 

[Vinylted]

There was a little lady who lived in a shoe
When it came to cleaning she had not a clue;

[Ladyjay]

She probably felt better going to the zoo

 

[Ladyjay]

At least then she knew
No cleanng to do

 

[Vinylted]

There was a little lady who lived in a shoe
She probably felt better going to the zoo;
At least then she knew
No cleaning to do,
AS there were keepers to clean up the poo!

 

[Vinylted]

At least then she knew
No cleaning to do

I'll start a new one.....
While at the zoo she saw a keeper divine

 

[SilverPinkDragon01]

Who's skill with animals was sublime

 

[Vinylted]

While at the zoo she saw a keeper divine
Who's skill with animals was sublime;
The tricks he could teach

Copy the 3 lines above and add your fourth....

 

[SilverPinkDragon01]

While at the zoo she saw a keeper divine
Who's skill with animals was sublime;
The tricks he could teach
The sky he could reach

 

[My handle]

While at the zoo she saw a keeper divine
Who’s skill with animals was sublime;
The tricks he could teach
The sky he could reach
I just knew I would make him mine
