Poem #2- The Limerick

A Limerick is a poem that is meant to be humorous, but can be any mood you want! there is no metre for a limerick, but there is a rhyming pattern; A,A,B,B,A.

Here is my example. I wrote it after a visit to the zoo to see the penguins.

I once had a penguin named Billy,
The way he walked, was really quite silly.
With a hop and a skip,
Or a fall and a trip,
We drew crowds at Piccadilly.

There is my example of a limerick. you try it out using my guidlines, and see what you can do. Post it, and show it to the world!
