Limericks seem to have a bad rap. They rarely get face time in any of the serious creative writing classes-the only time I ever heard about them was on random St Patrick's Days in grammar school and maybe once during high school. I have always enjoyed a limerick when I came across one and since I recently found MadKane's Humor Blog I have been submerging myself in them! She is so incredibly crafty with these things!
This week's the Limerick-Off theme is "Woebegone Limericks" and the two first lines to choose from are:
"A man was recounting his woes"
"A gal was recounting her woes"
And here are my entries:
A gal was recounting her woes,
a fancy rhyme she tried to compose.
The pen wouldn't move,
A fact that could prove
She ought to be writing in prose.
A man was recounting his woes
As he sat on the street with no clothes.
His girlie was livid
the foreplay too vivid:
A vulgar man reaps what he sows!
Be sure to check out the other great entries this week!
Ha Ha Ha...the first one was pretty decent.
ReplyDeleteThe second one? It cracked me up...surely the girlie must have been livid! ;-)
Thanks for visiting-I'm glad you liked them :)
