Limericks

L is for Limericks, A-Z Blogging Challenge

Do you remember having to write Limericks in school?  They are five-line poems:  Two long lines, two short lines, and then another long line.  They have a rhyming pattern of a-a-b-b-a .

My favorite limericks have been written by Ray Driver.

There was an odd beaver from Corning
Who liked to cook pancakes each morning.
With a flip of his tail,
To the ceiling they'd sail,
Then they'd fall to the floor without warning!


There was a sick seal named Miss Rose
Who went to a doctor she knows.
He advised the young seal,
"Eat a well-balanced meal."
So she balanced a stew on her nose!


There was a slim penguin named Blair
Who munched on an ice-cream eclair.
When she finished that one
She ate twelve more for fun,
Till she looked like a black and white pear!

There was a huge rhino named Lorne
Who loved to eat snacks in the morn.
He had one clever quirk--
As he left home for work,
He had doughnuts stacked high on his horn!

Is there anyone creative enough to write a limerick about the A-Z Blogging Challenge?
