If you are unfamiliar with a limerick, let me refresh you. And be prepared to be amused.
According to Wikipedia a limerick is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, trimeter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.
So I gave it a go, quite a cheerful thing to do. How about you?
Grace’s Limerick
There was a young grandma from Vernon
Who thought she’d try poetry learning
A ballad, an ode
A free verse episode
The words within her were churning.
She tried couplets and poems that would rhyme
A sonnet, a song/story sublime,
haiku stretched her mind
She tried every kind
But the limerick had the best line.
It is a fun story that is told
Of a grandma who’s now growing old
She plays with her words
Even though they’re absurd
Words that can not fit in a mould.
There was a young grandma from Vernon
Who thought poetry should not be spurning
out thoughts that make no sense,
Written for recompense
But for joy in just poetry learnin’.
The poet
