As we have a lot of new members I wondered if anybody would be interested in a Limerick game ?
Its an amusing game consisting of a five line verse, the first two rhyme, the second two rhyme and the fifth line rhymes with the first, just a bit of lighthearted fun :)

As I set off on my daily walk
And head toward the usual block
Something scary appears,
 

As I set off on my daily walk
And head toward the usual block
Something scary appears,
With a huge nose and floppy ears

With a huge nose and floppy ears
And, oh horror! It started to talk!
 
It's not easy a poet to be,
Practise makes perfect, it seems to me
But limericks take skill,
A mental exercise drill
And one that's a puzzle to me!
 
A famous old wizard from France
Could easily put you in a trance
He would say, "Oooh la la,"
And other strange hoopla
And suddenly, down fell your pants?
 
Hi Kris, good to see you joining the Limericks :D

A lady who lived in Quebec
Decended from an ancient aztec
An immigrant brave,
Certainly not from the grave,
She sure was a looker, by heck

PEOPLE ASK
What are the rules for writing a limerick?
The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables.
