Saturday is Limerick Day! To celebrate, I thought I’d issue a challenge to my blog readers to write their own limerick…or…you can just post one you like. Please make sure it’s family friendly!
According to Merriam Webster, a limerick is
“a light or humorous verse form of five chiefly anapestic verses of which lines 1, 2, and 5 are of three feet and lines 3 and 4 are of two feet with a rhyme scheme of aabba”
Here is a limerick I wrote:

There once was a very shy girl
Who grew up and gave speaking a whirl
She liked it so much
She deveoloped her touch
And now they say “Attagirl!”
Your turn!

Okay. I’ll give it a go. . . LOL (accents on words are in caps so you say it correctly to get the rhythm. :))
There once was a cat from TraLEE
Whose name was O’Mara, you see
O’Mara did lunch
With the Irish cat bunch
And said, “Leave a bit more for me!”
Hey, it’s morning and I didn’t sleep. I’ll have to think of some other ones. LOLOL
Very cute, Carla!!
there once was a girl who would cry
nearly friendless, although she did try
later on she did sing
of her Best Friend, her King
as she lifted her hands to His sky
LOVE them! Thanks for sharing your creativity, Carla and Elaine! Great job!
There once was a town with no name.
Who’s towns-people said ” this is a shame” !
We must give it a theme…
and put up a beam,
that guides Santa and all of his sleigh!
Please go to ( American Legion Post #242, Santa Claus ) and ‘Like Us”
My limerick represents our town!
Thanks, Angela.
