Of Limerick Zoology (or human psychology?) There once was a bear named Bernard who imagined it simply too hard to climb to a hive and still touch ground alive so he dined not on honey, but lard. There once was a leopard named Lynn whose limbs grew increasingly thin. Though wise and well versed this cool cat was yet cursed For he thought eating meat was a sin. There once was a turtle named Myrtle who decided to sport in a girdle yet concluded her shell did present such a swell that this task was too high of a hurdle. There once was a python named Pete whose undoing was junkfood to eat. Like an imprudent snake his most tragic mistake was misjudging his tush for a treat. There once was a skunk named Renee who frolicked one picturesque day with her spirits so high that she couldn't smell why that no critters would join'er to play. There once was a kitty named Trish with a sole and delictable wish just to once tongue a trout and to bury her snout in cuisine never stamped "Artifish". There once was a Zebra named Zach who was shamed at the thought of his back. And he groaned many gripes for some ants jeered his stripes should be all shades of green and not black.

Thank you all poets for sharing these snippet replies of your caring. It's no mystery that you all must like me or else I have sniffed a red herring! Thanks for your replies. I love a little limerick humor (clean of course) please feel free to reply in limerick fashion if you dare... It could be a little fun doncha think? |

There once was a girl named Denise Who attempted to read 'War and Peace' She got to page four Threw the book out the door Then her brain found at last sweet release. Is this a limerick? |

dsnyder, Yes! it is splendid and fair this limerick jingle you share. Though many are written, quite few leave me smitten. Yet yours vaunts a definite flair! Def... Limerick (LYM uh rik) - a five line poem written in anpestic rhythm, with lines 1,2, and 5 containing three main stresses and end-rhymes with lines 3 and 4 containing two main stresses and end-rhymes. Yet Limericks none comprehend from textbooks our teachers might lend. Like hurricane breezes or head splitting sneezes You'll understand best blowing wind! |

Cool! I wrote a limerick! I didn't think I'd be able to since my brain is usually stuck in iambic mode! Denise |
