A limerick is a silly, five-line poem. It has the rhyme pattern (scheme) AABBA. It usually starts with the pattern "There once was a ______________ named/called __________."
Here is an example of a limerick I wrote in class today:
There once was a pizza named Pie
Who fell down out of the sky
He landed on the ground
Without making a sound
Until he started to cry
Please publish some of your original limericks here!

There once was a girl named Taylor
ReplyDeleteWho thought that she was a failure
Though once a beginner
She became a winner
And now her friends all hail her.
From Taylor V.
There once was a horse named Minnie
ReplyDeleteHer friends all called her a ninnie
She could bark like a dog
Even oink like a hog
But she never could learn how to whinny
