On Yahoo a person named Ricky
Thought limerick-writing was tricky
So she asked a question
And got this suggestion:
"Not doing your own work is icky!"

a limerick has a line with 8 syllables
Then a line another line with 8 syllables
(the last word in the first and second lines rhyme with each other)
Then it has a line with 5 syllables
Then another line with 5 syllables
(the lst word third and fourth lines rhyme with each other)
Then one last line with 8 syllables
(the last word of the last line rhymes with the last word in lines one and two)

Example: (I am making this up)

A leprachan named Billy Bob
Liked to sit on a log and sob
His friend said "Hey why -
do you always cry?"
He replied, "Because I'm a blob"

I know - it's stupid - but I just made it up off the top of my head. I'm sure you can do better - now that you have the formula.

Have fun!

I know a girl who can't do her work,
She asks for help, to which I smirk,
Write your own poem, I think to myself,
You don't need any help!
Sorry if I acted like a jerk.

Hey, you asked for a limerick, and I gave it to you!

Limerick:

There a young man from St. Clair
Who buggered an ape on the stair.
The banister broke and he doubled his stroke
And finisihed her off in midair.

There once was a girl from the city
Who thought she was very pretty
She looked in the mirror
And when she looked nearer
She realized she was actually quite gritty.

A flea and a fly in a flue

Were caught, so what could they do?

Said the fly, "Let us flee."

"Let us fly," said the flea.

So they flew through a flaw in the flue

i dunno what a limerick is but heres a killer poem

I WANNA CUT MYSELF OH YA
fun to do but not fun to BAHH

Sometimes i get so cold i feel breathless
My life is one crazy old mess

Is this homework? Then you should try this on your own. Sorry.
