For Becky - Limericks by ~undead-poet14:iconundead-poet14:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Children's > Limerick




1.
There once was a fox with no name...
He found this fact rather lame
He gave thought to Timothy
Marcus, Christopher, and Eddie
Just so long as it wasn't a name for a dame

2.
There once was a drummer called Ringo...
Everyone says he is much more than neat-o
With such pretty blue eyes
And Ringoisms to prove he is wise
At sixty-six, he can still put on quite a show

3.
There once was a cat with a grin...
Well actually, it was more like a kitten
Ignoring the crown atop its head
Mother turned to me and said
You should see what it did in the kitchen

Damn! Was I ever on a roll or what with these bad boys! I didn't expect to be done with them THIS fast. :wow:

Part of my "Art" trade with . She's drawing me a picture, and I wrote her three limericks for her (instead of drawing something as well). She kindly provided me with the first lines of each limerick and I filled in the rest. They were excellent springboards as you can see. :D This was loads of fun, and I definitely plan on trying my hand at more limericks.

These three were my first EVER try at limericks.
I'm just as amazed as you are, folks. :o

I hope you like them, Becky! :peace:




:EDIT: Ringo is 66, NOT 64. Lindsay is a silly face. :doh:




The picture of the sleepy fox I found on Yahoo!Image Search. I just photomanipulated it on Photoshop. So... yeah. =P

They're so sweet! You might want to work on the rhythm (I know there's supposed to be a certain number of syllables in each line...just can't remember how many and where :( ), and isn't Ringo 66? But 64 is a much cooler number...anywho, your rhyming is loverly and these are funny! :D

But while you debate half-empty or half-full
It slowly rises...your love is gonna drown.
