　　LIMERICK

　　A limerick is a five line verse with the rhyme scheme of aabba.

　　The a-lines should have five feet, while the b-lines have only three feet.

　　It is normally, but not always light or humorous.

　　A Day Challenge

　　You take up the challenge to write,

　　then stay up all day and all night.

　　To think of a verse

　　can be a real curse.

　　You want all the words to be right.

　　Don’t worry if your words sound daft.

　　Remember it’s only a draft

　　and then if you’re wise

　　next month you’ll revise

　　and wonder if others have laughed.

　　You might have enough for a book.

　　If you haven’t, don’t cry or sook.

　　Sit down and write more

　　than you did before.

　　When it’s published I’ll have a look.

　　I wish you success with your dreams.

　　It’s easy if we work in teams

　　so all in due course

　　lets give it more sauce.

　　It isn’t as tough as it seems.

　　Kitchen Capers

　　There’s capers afoot in the kitchen.

　　The cat is quite drunk and it’s twitchin’,

　　It drank two pints of ale,

　　Then lapped up a cocktail,

　　Danced a jig then said, “It’s bewitchin’.”

　　Why?

　　Two towers crashed down from the sky

　　Causing innocent people to die

　　Terror and war

　　What is it for?

　　I never will understand why

　　A Limerick for Paul

　　A middle aged man called Paul

　　Said ‘No’ when his angel did call

　　Please go away

　　I want to stay

　　I’m living and having a ball

　　I know that I’ll meet you one day

　　But for now just please go away

　　I’m writing a book

　　If you want you can look

　　Just go and let me have my say

　　I’m good you can check with my wife

　　But sometimews I find I’m in strife

　　Don’t pinch my car

　　Or you won’t get far

　　And I’ll make you pay with your life

　　I don’t want to meet the Grim Reaper

　　But he seems to think he’s my keeper

　　Now’s not my time

　　I’m busy with rhyme

　　He’ll just have to dig that grave deeper

　　Christine

　　There once was a girl called Christine

　　She smoked far too much nicotine

　　She coughed and she spluttered

　　The Doc came and muttered

　　She has to go in quarantine

　　Monique

　　There once was a girl called Monique

　　She had such a perfect physique

　　Her bust is so round

　　But mine can’t be found

　　Beside her I feel quite a freak

　　Bertie and Gertie

　　A couple called Bertie and Gertie

　　Said life will begin when you’re thirty

　　You lose inhibition

　　Try any position

　　Enjoy getting flirty and dirty

　　Ask

　　Don’t read your teenagers diary

　　Life at home could become fiery

　　It’s an easier task

　　More respectful to ask

　　Just make a discreet enquiry
