Limerick
Limericks were used in Nursery Rhymes and other poems for children. Limericks have been traced back to the fourteenth century English history. The word Limerick comes from the Irish town of Limerick. The content of Limericks is often bawdy and humorous. A Limerick as poetry is simple and short, as Limericks only have five lines. The theme of our Limericks is “People”.
There once was a girl named Bell
who lived in a beautiful shell
she once went to Tom
when a crab stole her home
so homeless was left, the poor girl!
There once was a grandma named Jinx
who knew the karate techniques
she used all the tricks
she won all the geeks
and everything wrong she could fix.
There once was a girl from Ghana
that everyone called pretty Anna
but she had slanted eyes
and she ate lots of rice
till she turned yellow like a banana.
There once was a man named Dirty
Who weighed one hundred and thirty
He was like a balloon
and he flew to the moon
where he lost weight and weighed only thirty.
There once was a young man from Greece
who wanted all women to kiss
but he once fell in love
with a woman named Dove
and marrying her was all he wished.
The most special music is rock
it's secrets cannot be unlocked
the music is loud
it touches the crowd
and all of them rockers are called.
There once was a boy so lazy
who drove all the teachers crazy
His homework undone
He always made fun
but his big love was beautiful Daisy.
There once was a girl named Betty
Who liked to eat just spaghetti
And she went so fat
She could not wear her hat
So her man left her for pretty Katie
