Some guidelines for limericks:
- 5 lines of poetry with a meter scheme of AABBA
- Many limericks tend to be crass or tawdry for purpose of being funny. I am not asking for a G rating on everything, but I will delete any comments that I feel are inappropriate for a younger audience. If you write a limerick that is too clever not to be shared, but you feel it might be deleted, you can always email it to me first.
- Have fun!
A woman avoided the laundry,
Leaving family in quite a quandary;
With no clothing to wear,
And too embarrassed to bare
In public their all and sundry.
(From Avoiding the Laundry-Oct 09)
A woman from Newark was writing.
Her characters, they started fighting.
The plot, it did twist.
Well, you get the gist--
Her readers their fingers were biting.
