On a Christmas t’was deep in the night All the reindeer had started to fight Santa got so upset He jumped nude out of bed And gave THEM all a terrible fright ! It seems I am in one of those ruts And it feels like a kick in the guts I can not find a rhyme It takes all of my time These darn lim’ricks are driving me nuts ! I cried out to Saint Patrick last night I can not get this darn meter right He looked at me a while Said to me with a smile "It was you who requested this blight" Just five lines that will rhyme you request In some meter you call anapest To write lim’ricks takes much Even more when you’re Dutch But of course this will NOT get me stressed ! ; ) Sorry for being in class so late Nan. It is true though.....time flies when you're having fun. ; ) Munda |

LOL. These are good. The last one has perfect meter, I think. In the second limerick, if you change "I am" to "I'm" then tell Nan that the first two syllables are an anacrusis, you've got it made!  A nude Santa ... there's a mental picture I didn't need!Very good job, Munda Jim "If I rest, I rust." - Martin Luther |

So Rudolph led the way with his nose And the reindeer retrieved all his clothes With a grand suit of red From his toes to his head They dress Santa where ever he goes |
