When you don't reflect, on cause and effect, you're leaping right to the middle
With half of the clue, apparent to you, you will never unwrap the riddle
But when you know how
Milk comes from a cow
You'll be over the moon, finish work before noon, cause you'll know cat comes before fiddle
Not another limerick verse
I swear it must be a curse
Don't call the poem cop
I give up I'll stop
Because they keep getting worse
Don't bastardise the limerick form
and deviate from Edward Lear's norm
Poet’s writing form wrong
Should not deserve a gong
Some efforts were just truly lukewarm
The syllable count and rhyme scheme
Ain’t something that folk should demean
Limericks can be rudish
Not designed for folk prudish
Of writing poop poems I'm Queen!
my robot friend and me
got caught in the rain you see
pouring rain
hope no pain
now we call him Rusty
With stepsisters both so mean
Cinderella's gloom is keen
Then a cool in-law
Her fairy grandma
Helps her to split the bad scene
In the shoe her foot does slide
She's the real deal, bonified!
She's all that, so fine
The prince shouts, you're mine!
Now sweet love will be their guide
They called him doggy while growing up
Because he growled when his temper erupt
The name it stuck though
He had a son you know
He got tagged forever the name pup
A special place was made for the old red Mack
Right out front of the house with its shiny stack
It earned this space
It paid for this place
Forty years from Ohio to the east and back
There was a lady named Lark
she was afraid of the dark
she switched on a light
and much to her fright
she licked the face of a shark!
There was a lady named Kate
for her job she was too late
soon she was fired
soon she was hired
her old boss is now her mate!
There was a baker named Blake
he needed to bake a cake
within an hour
he had no flour
he knew he'd made a mistake!
Who put the engine in the middle of the train
I have set so long I am going insane
I am not going cuckoo
What I said is not poo poo
Somebody put an engine at the end of the train
My hubby dear does make me smile;
spends lots of time in that one aisle.
For his poet wife
makes love come to life
to find cards in rhythm-rhyme style!
There was a robber named Tess
her purse was a heavy mess
diamonds and lockets
please check her pockets
never would she steal much less!
As a poetic chef,
I am ready to create a specific dish.
As I look in my book of recipes,
Limerick jumped off the page.
I must check to see if I have all the ingredients,
humor - got it.
A-A-B-B-A rhyme - got it.
7-10 syllables each line - got it.
Now to create this specific dish.
Add five lines of rhyme,
A-A-B-B-A.
Then add 7-10 syllables for each line.
Stir well,
now add extra humor.
Bake until you see the laughter browning,
serve warm for a plate of smiles.
Trying to write a limerick
Not my cup of tea
Because my humor isn’t it
No funny bone in me
But I keep on trying
Like a kid riding a bike
The training wheels are off
If it takes my whole life
