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!

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! -
