FUN STUFF: POETRY

Limericks

By Catherine, age 24, England, United Kingdom

Editor's Note: Limericks are short, often comical (and sometimes off-color, but not these) 5 liners with a rhyming pattern that goes AABBA. Each is unrelated to the next.


There was a small gerbil called Max
Who couldn't ever relax
He drank lots of beer
And took lots of gear
But still worried on about tax.

---

Once lived a woman called Freja
Who frequently dabbled with Ouija
Though scaring her senseless
And left quite defenceless
Another past-time did not wager.

---

A serpent was named Aristotle
Known to be fond of the bottle
He drank lots all day
Before home he would sway
With no limbs to press down on the throttle

---

A second moon hid made of cheese
But dairy-free people displease
So crescent of cheddar
Goes redder and redder
Kept for 'nother time in deep freeze

---

A wizard from South Korea
Had issues with arising fear
At dusk every day
And causing dismay
A tarantula always came near.

---

Some guy from Abinger Hammer
Spoke with a dominant stammer
He just sounded nervous
Causing listeners disservice
At least trim with his usage of grammar.

---

A peacock from Ashby-de-la-Zouch
Had less personality than a couch
He flailed wild his feathers
At all get-togethers
Which concealed the fact he's a grouch.

---

A stone age man from Beercrocombe
Waylaid with ideas for designing his tomb
Had preoccupation with a sarcophagus
But a burning sensation in his esophagus
Meant his own demises ideas had no longer room.

---

Life in Chapel en le frith
Was seeped in fantasy and doused with myth
Dragons flew and caped beings drifted
Any laws and such were lifted
Beyond the cliff.
