LI: To write limericks
SC: It must have 5 lines lines, the last word of the first and last line must be the same and all the last words of each line must rhyme.
Limericks are nonsensical 5 line rhymes that were made popular hundreds of years ago by Edward Lear.
Here is an example:
There was an old person of Pisa,
Whose daughters did nothing to please her;
She dressed them in gray, and banged them all day,
Round the walls of the city of Pisa.
There once was a girl named Jill
Who freaked out at the sight of a drill
she brushed everyday
so her dentist would say
Your teeth are quite perfect. No bill.
And who did it so badly I thought she would gladly Have stopped before she was through. |
There once was a guy
that had a fly as a nerd
and when that guy had a vine,
the fly died, and the guy cried
only to find that it was a lie.
There was an old man from Peru,
who dreamed he was eating his shoe,
He awoke in the night,
with a terrible fright,
and found out that it was quite true.
There once was a fellow named Tim
whose dad never taught him to swim.
He fell off a dock
and sunk like a rock.
And that was the end of him.
