    A limerick is a type of poem that has 5 lines with a rhyme-scheme that goes (a, a, b, b, a).

    The
    rhyming lines usually share the same number of beats/syllables (for example, a-lines have 8
    beats, etc.) They are usually humorous poems, with the last line acting as a “punch line.” Here
    are some examples!

    There was a young lady from Leeds A circus performer named Brian
    who swallowed a packet of seeds. Once smiled as he rode on a lion.
    Now this sorry young lass They came back from the ride,
    Is covered in grass But with Brian inside,
    But has all the tomatoes she needs. And a smile on the face of the lion.

    There was a young lady named Rose An extremely fat friend of mine,
    Who had a large wart on her nose. When asked at what time he would dine,
    When she had it removed, Replied “At eleven,
    Her appearance improved, At three, five, and seven,
    But her glasses slipped down to her nose. At eight, and a quarter past nine.”

    There was a young fellow named Flynn


    Who was really incredibly thin.
    When he carried a pole
    People said, “Bless my soul!
    What a shock to find out you’ve a twin!”

    Try to write your own! Here are some first lines to choose from:

    There once was a girl named Rose There was an old man from Glen

    An old lady and her cat A handsome young man named Ray

    There once was a man from Peru A fat old cow named Bessy
