Can We Do a Limerick Together???
Posted: 13 Apr 2010, 15:48
I wonder with all the brain power available on these forums if we could knock out a limerick or two together?
One person supples the first line,then someone adds the second-each Limerick should be five lines long..
(A limerick is a five-line poem in anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme scheme (aabba), which intends to be witty or humorous, and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent. It may have its roots in the 18th-century Maigue Poets of Ireland[1], although the form can be found in England in the early years of the century[2]. It was popularized in English by Edward Lear in the 19th century, although he did not use the term.
The following example of a limerick is of unknown origin.
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical. )
Ok got it?.......here goes then-why not have a bash its only a game

There was a young man named 'Fatty'
