A quick reflection
Limericks are actually kind of fun. The first one I wrote with my classmate, Emily, and we enjoyed it. I think we actually got a laugh out of it. The reason I like them more than I do regular poetry is because they are light and fun. They don't have to have some deep meaning- actually they don't have to have any meaning. I mostly wrote these through thinking of rhyming words and putting them together.
Limerick 1A girl stumbled upon a deer
Then she came upon a big bear Next she saw a lion And she started a-crying She ran away in terror and fear |
Limerick 2There once was a girl name Sam
Who had eaten green eggs and ham She became very ill Oh, it was such a thrill! Then she went out and bought a lamb |
