  5. There once was a fly on the wall
    I wonder why didn't it fall

    Because its feet stuck

    Or was it just luck

    Or does gravity miss things so small?

  34. Hannah, I have to say that your poem (the one involving the moose and the goose) is hilarious! It has an excellent rhythm and rhyme to it. That makes it ideal for a limerick! Good job!

  43. STELLA'S BIRTHDAY MARCH 13, 1719
    Famous Funny Poem by Jonathan Swift

    Stella this day is thirty-four,
    (We shan't dispute a year or more:)
    However, Stella, be not troubled,
    Although thy size and years are doubled,
    Since first I saw thee at sixteen,
    The brightest virgin on the green;
    So little is thy form declin'd;
    Made up so largely in thy mind.

    Oh, would it please the gods to split
    Thy beauty, size, and years, and wit;
    No age could furnish out a pair
    Of nymphs so graceful, wise, and fair;
    With half the lustre of your eyes,
    With half your wit, your years, and size.
    And then, before it grew too late,
    How should I beg of gentle Fate,
    (That either nymph might have her swain,)
    To split my worship too in twain

  44. 'Tis a favourite project of mine,

    A new value of pi to assign.

  46. My funny limericks about bums and hobos.
    I pick up the butts from the street
    My shoes have holes, look! there's my feet!
    But really, I'm lucky
    The roads of Kentucky
    Supply me with plenty to eat.

    I think this poem is a very entertaining one. What makes it so funny is that it "interacts" with the reader, and also provides a funny situation. I chose this limerick because of how it flows, and because of how light-hearted it sounds.

  70. I once saw a man sitting in a ladies seat,
    I gave him a dirty look that was hard to beat,
    He got up with a sigh,
    And it was then I realized,
    That the poor man had no feet.

    I chose this poem because it gives the example of an old men who has no feet and who's sitting in a ladies seat and a girl gives him a dirty look. As he got up the lady saw that he has no feet so then she felt very sorry for him.
    You could learn from this that you shouldn't always be mean to another only because he's on the false spot or doing a "mistake"

    After I heard Harry’s limerick,
    I found that my mind set to simmer. “Rick, ”
    I said to myself,
    “One might write it itself, ”
    But I answered, “You’re chances are slimmer, Rick! ”

    So I can’t find a good rhyme for Limerick.
    Told myself, “ You are just a beginner, Rick
    And though there’s no reason
    You can’t write something decent,
    I fancy your chances get grimmer, Rick! ”

    He said that it might rhyme with turmeric
    But I thought, “You’re not that fast a learner, Rick:
    Ditch your thoughts wasting time
    Finding suitable rhyme;
    Let your plans, man, stand on the back burner, Rick.”

    But the cogwheels had started to turn a bit
    As I guessed I had started to learn a bit
    And I might find a line
    That rhymes Limerick fine
    And might win me a prize, so I earn a bit.

    But I thought, “Though there was just a glimmer, Rick.
    You will think till you’re needing a zimmer, Rick,
    Since the muse isn’t kind,
    I am sure you’ll will find
    Not a word that will rhyme fine with Limerick.”

  77. Is it true the things i hear?
    Is it true that in this world theirs is nothing but fear?
    Is it true that war is all we know?
    Do we have any love left to show?
    Is it true that man is born without sin?
    Is it true we abuse our own kin?
    Is it true that man is killing himself?
    Does the world on revolve about wealth?
    Is it true we rely too much on technology?
    Is it true that aggression is the only thing we see?
    Is it true that love had no meaning?
    Are our lives really fleeting?
    Is it true that we dont live our lives to the fullest?
    Are we all so foolish?
    Is it true we kill others who do us no harm?
    Has a single kiss lost its charm?
    Is it true that we forgot about love?
    Is it true that we quit when push comes to shove?
    Is all this i hear so true?
    All these question i ask u. http://www.teenink.com/poetry/limerick/article/265095/Is-it-true/

  104. A limerick fan from Australia

    regarded his work as a failure:

    his verses were fine

    until the fourth line

    ?

    I liked this limerick beacause it had a clever way of using a fifth line.

  105. My grandparents eat
    all kinds of meat
    now they got stomachaches
    but tomorrow they will eat some steaks
    hopefully they will have some space

  106. Limerick
    There was an Old Man in a tree,
    Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
    When they said, 'Does it buzz?'
    He replied, 'Yes, it does!'
    'It's a regular brute of a Bee!'

    I thought this was rather funny. Brute of a bee! I adore that man.

  107. I once had a dog named hank,
    who was always pulling pranks,
    one day he got sick,
    by eating a tick,
    and now his name is Betty!

  110. The limerick is furtive and mean

    You must keep her in close quarantine

    Or she sneaks to the slums

    And promptly becomes

    Disorderly, drunk and obscene.

  112. An elderly man called Keith

    Mislaid his set of false teeth -

    They'd been laid on a chair,

    He'd forgot they were there,

    Sat down, and was bitten beneath.

    http://www.freewebs.com/limericks/


    My views on this poem is it is very funny. I didn't understand it the first time I read it, but then when I understood it is was so funny. I like the rhyming words they used. And all in all it is a funny limerick.

  113. A macho young swimmer named Dwyer,

    Really liked playing with fire.

    One night in the dark

    He swam with a shark,

    And his voice is now two octaves higher.

  119. Five little turkeys standing at the door,
    One waddled off, and then there were four.

    Four little turkeys sitting near a tree,
    One waddled off, and then there were three.

    Three little turkeys with nothing to do,
    One waddled off, and then there were two.

    Two little turkeys in the morning sun,
    One waddled off, and then there was one.

    One little turkey better run away,
    For soon it will be Thanksgiving Day.

  124. Lord Whoever, thank you for this air
    I'm about to in- and exhale, this hutch
    in the woods, the wood for fire,
    the light-both lamp and the natural stuff
    of leaf-back, fern, and wing.
    For the piano, the shovel
    for ashes, the moth-gnawed
    blankets, the stone-cold water
    stone-cold: thank you.
    Thank you, Lord, coming for
    to carry me here-where I'll gnash
    it out, Lord, where I'll calm
    and work, Lord, thank you
    for the goddamn birds singing

    Because its feet stuck

    Or was it just luck

    Or does gravity miss things so small?

They sometimes get to go and wach them at home games but if it is away from home then there is like no way for them to know about it. If they are informed about it then they somewhat know what was going on there.

    I'm going to do my article on entertainment.

    1) I have to find out who I am going to do my article on.

    2) Only write about one person.

    3) Has to be at least one page long.

    4) Have information on the person.

    5) Pick somebody that you really know.

    6) Tell why you picked this person.

    7) Use great vocabulary.

    8) Use positive information on the person.

    9) Talk about what they do for a living and
    that.

    10) Maybe compare your life to theirs.
