Limerick

        A mad  man named Harry grew weary
           He picked up a stick to hit Jerry
               He missed and then fell
                  down into the well
       You can still hear his screams so eerie.

    In your limmerick, "Jerry"would have to rhyme with "weary" the way you have it, now. How'bout something like, this: An angry, tired milkman named, Harry; picked up a large stick to hit, Jerry; he missed him, and fell straight down, in his well; he's still screaming, from the well, at the dairy! That's the correct rhyme scheme.....but, l like YOUR story better! A good effort! docmaverick.

    Hey, it's crazy! Jerry, Harry and weary are all near rhymes. And Jerry and Harry rhyme in some instances, so... And your story about the milkman screaming from the well at the dairy...funny! LOL!

    You asked how I could do meter so well. I came here and saw you were someone that entered my limerick contest with this very well metered limerick. Looks like you can be flawless with rhythm too!!

    Congratulations in my contest , Vicky . I enjoy how you kept a limerick beat with this one. (I see Natalie helped you here. That was sure nice of her!!)

    Hi Vicky-this is cute. You got to work on your syllable count. I'm not good w/ meter....but I can help w/ syllable count to get you there. 1-A Mad man named Harry grew weary 2-He picked up a stick to hit Jerry Lines 3-4-5 are perfect as far as syllables. Much luck to you in the contest!
