Please join me for some limerick madness...?
A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form (AABBA), originally popularized in English by Edward Lear, which intends to be witty or humorous, and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent.
And who couldn't use a laugh?
A crazy old fellow named Dave
Would gibber and grimace and rave
To his neighbors' delight
He moved far from sight
And now makes his home in a cave
How about you?
A game of words to be played, just so
You made a good start here, Cole, let's go
If we don't find more friends
I guess then it ends
At least one of us went with the flow.
You are right, CSA, it's a pity
That this exercise post for the witty
Went largely unheeded
But you surely succeeded
By inventing a new word: "limericky"

I'll let it run a little longer.
Whether summer or winter, young Lilly
Complained that she felt rather chilly:
That she had a blue nose
And ten very cold toes
And goose bumps so big they were hilly.
Sorry, Lilly... I tried!

As I sit here eating some food
I believe I understood
That a limerick's wanted...
I feel slightly daunted.
Besides, the food is too good.

The birds in the sky are a'flying
The cat sits down here, all a'sighing
If he had wings,
He'd catch those things
Or probably kill himself trying.

Feminist Limerick
One day God made an apple
And said, "Children, you can make Snapple
From any fruit that you see
Except that of this tree."
And Eve said, "Up yours."

Well, I'm sorry to see
So few are limericky
It just goes to show
What everyone knows
There's no profit in poetry.

A lively young girl named Louise
had quite an obsession with cheese
She ate it all the day through
until her pale face became blue.
And now the girl only eats peas!
:) Idk if it was funny or anything but i like it lol so random i know!
The poem constructed by Lilly
may not be regarded as silly,
But I though it a large bit of fun,
In fact i enjoyed it a ton
because it was so willy-nilly.
rotflol that last part was me trying to figure out something to rhyme with my name and i gave up and it ended up as willy nilly :D oh well. Urs are way better hehe.

An interesting challenge has been laid,
A game of words to be played.
How do I change life in five lines,
Lost in a world of life's finds?
I'll say life is yours once it's made.
