Limericks


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry)

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. The third and fourth lines are usually anapaestic. The first, second and fifth are usually either anapaests or amphibrachs[8].

The first line traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. In early limericks, the last line was often essentially a repeat of the first line, although this is no longer customary.


The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.[4]



my first tries with offrhymes


The Presiident he is quite feisty

though nobody sees him as nicety

he came from new york

born with a golden fork

through luck with a roll of the dicedy


we now have to all wear a mask

this is really becoming a difficult task

going in, coming out

we get all in a pout

and the stress leads to drink gin in a flask


young women are really quite gentle 

if males did not go so mental

looking so much at them

at their skirts and hem

they could keep their minds on the rental


friends we all have so many 

jim, jack, louie and benny

they tell us our faults

if perchance we might halt

advice costs us nary a penny


last pope was conservative type

this new one make leftist tripe

politics like in congress

religion the same mess

the whole culture is spoiled overripe


vacation I had no more sunshine

but clouds and rain were all mine

I took many long walk

it was easy to talk

and for me to learn how to make rhyme
