Limerick Day-Challenge

 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!

Later on, I’ll share about the humor (and problems) that comes from ineffective communication, but for now Communication FUNdamentals Week continues with the humor that used on purpose.  Humor can be used to creatively express yourself in order to entertain and amuse.  I posted this poem I wrote on the Art of Eloquence Facebook fan page last week and it was met with a goodly amount of comments from folks who “felt my pain.”

Exerciser’s Lament 

The scale says more; my clothes, they tore.
I’m often winded at the store.
Though I’m not sure and it’s a bore
Now exercise is my new chore.
My legs are sore; I’m on the floor,
Endorphins are just pure folk lore.
Just shut the door; I want to snore
And with my bones I am at war.

If you’re going to complain, you should do it with a little style.

Last week was also Limerick Week and in order to celebrate, I posted this little limerick authored by yours truly.

On Celebrating Limerick Day

May 12th is Limerick Day
I’m exceedingly happy to say
Because it’s such fun
To rhyme and to pun
I ask you to try it your way!

Care to try your hand?
