There was a young lady from Wollongong
Who wore perfume so she wouldn't pong;
With some eau de local pub

She didnt need a scrub
So she settled down with a sub

There was a young lady from Wollongong
Who wore perfume so she wouldn't pong;
With some eau de local pub
So she settled down with a sub,
Who's company made her burst into song.

Last line rhymes with first two... You write next first line..

Like it or lump it
Better not bump it
Someone might dump it
That would not be cause
For any applause

Nice little poem Ladyjar, but sadly not a limerick. If you go back to the start of this thread you'll see that Xe laid down some basic rules for a limerick. I fyou need more I'm happy to help, but practice makes perfect.. lol

There was a young man from Ryde
Who fell down a toilet and died
Along came his brother
Who fell down another
And now there’re in turd side by side

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,
How he got there I couldn't see,
I said "come on down
you silly old clown"
Then he dropped - and landed on me.

There was a young lass from Scone

Well done Pam

Continuing from MyHandle

There was a young lass from Scone
Who saw all her lovers while alone;

 

[SilverPinkDragon01]

There was a young lass from Scone
Who saw all her lovers while alone;
They came from far & wide

 

[Vinylted]

There was a young lass from Scone
Who saw all her lovers while alone;
They came from far & wide
Seeing if they could get inside,

she said sorry I'm on the phone

While diving in a deep river
The temperatures made her shiver

 

[Vinylted]

While diving in a deep river
The temperature made her shiver;
Icy cold on her body

 

[Pommyoz]

she craved a nice toddy

But the guy just didn’t deliver.
