Limericks

by Pat Davis 2007

The Fiery Fool

There once was a fiery young fool

Who found himself late to school

Spat the student to his tutor

While still on his scooter

“I find class crass and cruel.”

The Odd Teacher

There once was an odd teacher

With quite a silly facial feature

T'was a wart on the end of her nose

That reached right down to her toes

Casting quite the dark creature

The Limerick Form

Limerick line number one

Rings with two when it's done

Then three and four for more

But the last line tests its core

And measures if the pun is won

 

The limerick is like a good wine

Writing one takes spunk and spine

Making a rhyme is the catchy key

Modeling what most want to see

Winning that last whining line
