Limericks

This week, our assignment was to write limericks.

Lady Grey created two and are as follows:

There was a small boy who would whine.
His sister thought it was a crime.
We sent him to bed
without being fed
and everything turned out just fine.

-and-

Her hair was so fine and so curly.
The ringlets were really quite swirly.
But when she pushed up her sleeves
you would not believe
how here arms were outrageously burly.

Thirsty came up with the following two limericks:

Mine is the windiest street.
It once knocked me off of my feet.
I took my dog out to play,
she blew right away
and landed on an airplane seat.

-and-

There was a cat that lived here.
Where she has gone is unclear.
We hope she's alive.
Since the dog did arrive
she apparently did disappear.

Bookworm came up with the following limerick:

There was an old woman from Paris.
Her husband's name was Charis.
One day he went mad.
What a habit he had,
the crazy old husband named Charis.

In four weeks we will publish some haikus. Stay tuned!
