I thought I’d introduce you to something new today. I’ve posted hundreds of limericks over the years, and they were all basically the five-line standard. Another style of limerick is the extended limerick which are a bit longer than you normally see and more challenging to write. Here are two samples:

There once were two cats of Kilkenny.

Each thought there was one too many,

So, they quarreled and fit,

They scratched and they bit,

Till, excepting their nails

And the tips of their tails,

Instead of two cats, there weren’t any!

There was a strange student from Yale.

Who put himself outside the pale.

Said the judge:” Please refrain,

When passing through Maine,

From exposing yourself in in the train,

Or you’ll just have to do it in jail!”

😗😗😗

In my opinion they aren’t as exciting as a normal limerick, but many people disagree. Now let’s take a look at what’s called a prose limerick. It’s a totally different style but I enjoy these very much because of the narrative way they are written.

When cars are left here for repair, our charges are modest and fair. And

owners may rest quite content that we test all work that is done with great care.

😊😊😊

In the shed at the end of the mews there’s a bucket of old bolts and screws, and

right at the back you will see a large stack of old junk that perhaps you can use.

🤩🤩🤩

The train that was due to depart at 8:10 is not likely to start. We’re

working to rule, you’d best get a mule or a bike or a horse and a cart.

TRY WRITING A FEW OF YOUR OWN

  1. This was a promised one from a few weeks ago.
    💗☦️💗
    A man, distraught and out of control,
    Worked tirelessly to achieve his main goal.
    Though the Holy Virgin, because of her urgings
    Rose through the clouds, body and soul,
    He just hung suspended, his plight unintended,
    Waiting for the resurrection of his pole!

    * Don’t worry, Easter’s coming!
