Limericks consist of five lines.
The first two lines must rhyme with one another and contain the same count of syllables, usually seven to ten syllables.
The second two lines are shorter (four to seven syllables} and must rhyme with each other.
The fifth line rhymes with the first two lines of the limerick and matches the number of syllables of the first two lines.
Example:
There once was a lady named Mary
Who met a young fella named Harry
The went for a ride
She soon was his bride
And they had a wee baby named Carrie.
COPY and PASTE the preceding lines and then add your line and the next poster adds the next line until the limerick is complete. (Total of 5 lines)
The poster who completes the limerick...must also add a "starter" line for the next limerick.
I'm going to start this one again....REMEMBER...it's ONE line at the time and whomever finishes the limerick, must begin the first line of the next new Limerick......Eg....
I write....
Rose had a cow named Lilly
Oceanna might write....
"Rose is a name that's so silly"
Wuzfuz might write....
"But she smelled like a flower"
Glad E Olah might write
"Or do I need a shower?!!"
Willows might finish with....
I'll bathe at the five o'clock hour.
So there we have it....
"Rose had a cow named Lilly
Rose is a name that's so silly
But she smelled like a flower
Or do I need a shower?
I'll bathe at the five o'clock hour."
(note the rythm of the limerick..)
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-dah
Ta-da-ta=da-ta-dah
Ta-da-ta'da
Ta-da-ta-da
Ta-da-ta-ta-ta-dah
(Oh...silly me!! with my ta-da-ta-da's!!"!!)
REMEMBER....ONE LINE AT THE TIME !!Come on all...let's try this one again!
