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:
x
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

There once was a town with no name.
Who’s towns-people said " this is a shame" !
We must give it a theme…
