Write a Limerick

May 13, 2022

This week, poetry-enthusiasts celebrated National Limerick Day. Why not observe the occasion by writing your own funny 'nonsense poem' using the template below (courtesy of Hannah Spuler's blog) and following the rhyme scheme AABBA:

  1. There once was a ____________ named __________
  2. Who wanted to ________________________.
  3. He/She/They/It (sat/stood/laid) on a _________________,
  4. And said, "What a ______________!"
  5. And then ___________________________________.
