Hello my dear future famous writers. Today, 19th October were born:
1605 Sir Thomas Browne British writer (Garden of Cyrus)
1784 Leigh Hunt British writer (Lord Byron)
1931 John Le Carr‚ England, spy novelist (Little Drummer Girl)
Today will be a bit unusual but extremely interesting subject – Limericks!!!
I am sure you have heard about these strange poems written in ironic manner.This is quite funny process to write it and to read it to your friends after that! You can even conduct a “Limerick evenings” gathering all friends!
If you want to learn how to write limericks – follow next steps:
First of all you have to look at the sample (pattern) of limerick to understand the syllabic and rhyme of this poem:
There was a large lady from Perth
Who wanted to travel the earth
But her wish was in vain
For the door of the plane
Was not wide enough for her girth.
Look: first, second, and fifth line in this Limerick all have eight syllables, and rhyme with each other.
Just try this with your own words but remember that Limerick means a funny Jan-re. Your readers have to laugh at the end of it.
And to finish my lesson I can give you the funniest one (sorry for some language)):
A limerick can be rather funny
when the syllables are on the money.
But when none of it fits
it can give you the shits
Would you stop writing limericks, sonny? (Herbert Nehrlich)

Limerick poems
I do not appreciate the language in this! What if a child saw this?!
well, charlotte, you were right, here i am 8 years old, just looking up a poem for a school project.
‘what if a child saw this’?
then their parents would have to explain that some people find words offensive.
the meanings stay the same but the words change, words are words, and the context of them is what children need to understand.
That limerick held no more offense than a lump of playdough.
Children won’t see this, they’re too busy looking at porn.
