  LIMERICK

  A limerick is a five line verse with the rhyme scheme of aabba.

  The a-lines should have five feet, while the b-lines have only three feet.

  It is normally, but not always light or humorous.

  A Day Challenge

  You take up the challenge to write,

  then stay up all day and all night.

  To think of a verse

  can be a real curse.

  You want all the words to be right.

  Don’t worry if your words sound daft.

  Remember it’s only a draft

  and then if you’re wise

  next month you’ll revise

  and wonder if others have laughed.

  You might have enough for a book.

  If you haven’t, don’t cry or sook.

  Sit down and write more

  than you did before.

  When it’s published I’ll have a look.

  I wish you success with your dreams.

  It’s easy if we work in teams

  so all in due course

  lets give it more sauce.

  It isn’t as tough as it seems.

  Kitchen Capers

  There’s capers afoot in the kitchen.

  The cat is quite drunk and it’s twitchin’,

  It drank two pints of ale,

  Then lapped up a cocktail,

  Danced a jig then said, “It’s bewitchin’.”

  Why?

  Two towers crashed down from the sky

  Causing innocent people to die

  Terror and war

  What is it for?

  I never will understand why

  A Limerick for Paul

  A middle aged man called Paul

  Said ‘No’ when his angel did call

  Please go away

  I want to stay

  I’m living and having a ball

  I know that I’ll meet you one day

  But for now just please go away

  I’m writing a book

  If you want you can look

  Just go and let me have my say

  I’m good you can check with my wife

  But sometimews I find I’m in strife

  Don’t pinch my car

  Or you won’t get far

  And I’ll make you pay with your life

  I don’t want to meet the Grim Reaper

  But he seems to think he’s my keeper

  Now’s not my time

  I’m busy with rhyme

  He’ll just have to dig that grave deeper

  Christine

  There once was a girl called Christine

  She smoked far too much nicotine

  She coughed and she spluttered

  The Doc came and muttered

  She has to go in quarantine

  Monique

  There once was a girl called Monique

  She had such a perfect physique

  Her bust is so round

  But mine can’t be found

  Beside her I feel quite a freak

  Bertie and Gertie

  A couple called Bertie and Gertie

  Said life will begin when you’re thirty

  You lose inhibition

  Try any position

  Enjoy getting flirty and dirty

  Ask

  Don’t read your teenagers diary

  Life at home could become fiery

  It’s an easier task

  More respectful to ask

  Just make a discreet enquiry
