Let's do Limericks everyone... It is, after all, the month of Leprechauns and shamrocks... It seems fitting, doesn't it?...

Any takers?

This isn't mine but my friend told me this one the other day at lunch. I don't know where it came from but I figured I would share since I think it's cute.

Sorry RS - We need you to post your own original work... Thanks for your understanding

Gee Nan,
of Limericks I've done a slew
it gave me something to do
but I will try harder
see what's in my larder
if the Doc is going to join too.

I love Limericks! Finger licking good!

LOL I remember getting soooooo frustrated with the meter I wrote these last time...

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 ! ; )

Let's find out how "stressed" I'll get this time!

If I don't sign up soon I'll miss class
theres no way I'll let this come to pass
I'll not irritate Teach
That's no day at the beach !
So it's good I know how to hall pass !

Once a rumor did circulate there
'bout a sponge and some-ones derrier
Don't know how it began
but things sure hit the fan
now my head hangs from wall with blank stare

Tried to silence me by making art
of my noggin but that's the wrong part
Not for me a hat rack
like Ah-nold I've come back
because poetry comes from the heart

Gee ! This lim'rick thing sounds like great fun
Sign me up I'm in for the long run
With permission of course
like aft end of a horse
always late for each race that's begun

While we're speaking of races and such
A small wager I'd make not too much
A few times 'round this track
and I'll have my head back
from " The Teach " and her co-hort " In Dutch "

Sure, I just saw the other post first and thought it was Romy's idea.
But I'll definitely try a few limericks.
Maybe even a few about some members of Teen #4 who I know? That might be fun.
So yeah, count me in.
