Limericks

Limericks are a fun, silly form of poetry. They are 5 lines long. The first, second, and fifth lines are longer and rhyme. The third and forth lines are shorter and rhyme.

Examples

There was a young man with a jeep
Who drove across a river quite deep
He was swept off his course
By the river's strong force
And he now sails the oceans in that jeep

There once was a camel with three humps
Who came down with a case of the mumps
When the doctor arrived
He said with a sigh,
"That beast didn't need some more lumps."
