limericks are silly little five line poems. the first two lines the end word rhymes. the second and third lines have the end words rhyme. on the last line the end word rhymes with the first and second line's rhyme words.
Write a creative or funny limerick and see what everyone thinks! biggrin

example.
There once was a man named Ted.
He slept on a very large bed.
He twisted and turned all night,
waking up in a very large fright,
and he ended up hitting his head.

lute97halo example. There once was a man named Ted. He slept on a very large bed. He twisted and turned all night, waking up in a very large fright, and he ended up hitting his head. Interesting, however when I learned limericks, I always thought they had syllable counts of 7/7/4/4/7 or 9/9/9/6 or 7/6 or 7/9. o3o' Yours appear to be 7/7/7/8/8... It's a nice limerick, though, still. It reminds me of that one little song "it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring" I heard when I was a kid. ^.^

"There once was a man from Nantucket..."
Now take this dumb poem, and chuck it.
I've copied this bore
of a poem before!
It's about some guy... with a bucket.
--My friends used to wonder what the full 'lyrics' to this poem were, but we were too afraid to google it. So until someone told us, we went around making variations like that one.

Acidic Shadow Interesting, however when I learned limericks, I always thought they had syllable counts of 7/7/4/4/7 or 9/9/9/6 or 7/6 or 7/9. o3o' Yours appear to be 7/7/7/8/8... You seem to know your poem structure. Do you have any idea what a poem with a syllable count of 5/5/7/7/8 and a rhyme scheme of a/b/c/c/b is called? For example: The final lines of Tom Lehrer's - Oedipus Rex. (I know the syllable count is off, but the way he sings it makes it fit into the structure I'm thinking of. Or you may find yourself
with a quite complex complex
and you may end up like Oedipus,
(I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus,
than end up like old Oedipus Rex.

In the place of singing waters...A limerick is a hard poem to write.
To find a rhyme might take day and night.
But when it is finished
And the brain block diminished,
It is to the writers delight. ...Only my voice is silent...
