It's Limerick Day! Share a favorite or compose your own humorous five-line poem with an AABBA rhyme structure.
In a tribute to Ogden Nash, I wrote this one a few years back. It's called "Ode to a Hurricane."
I think that I shall never see
a condo lovely as the sea
Indeed unless the condos fall
I'll never see the sea at all.
No it's not 5 lines. Yes it is only 4. It's not a real limerick, and I don't care. :o)
Here is an Ogden Nash Limerick:
There once was a belle from Olde Natchez
whose garments were always in patches.
When comment arose
on the state of her clothes,
she drawled, "When ah itches, ah scratches."
