Who thought he was only 3Hi 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...
What the first line bronco? But we are into writing one line at a time in turn where possible...Who thought he was only 3
With a swing and a fly
He let out a cry
Oh! hell no more branches,I see.
Hi Silver, the second line must rhyme with the first... what you wrote might make a good third line... excuse my sticking my oar in... now the next line should rhyme with nude..Do all lifesavers wear budgie smugglers?
Or do they swim in the nude?
You have nailed the rhyming scheme of the limerick, but not the form..Waddle doddle doo
Where are you
I saw a puddle
Then it was a muddle
Oops I cant find you
Only way we can learn VinyltedYou have nailed the rhyming scheme of the limerick, but not the form..
Well, it's partly the shape of the thing
That gives the old limerick wing;
These accordian pleats
Full of airy conceits,
Take it up like a kite on a string.
By this time you will have realised I am quite pedantic.. sorry.. VT
