You know, a Limerick being a form of humerous verse, taking its name from the city of Limerick, Ireland.
The limerick is a poem of five lines, the first, second and last being in the rhythm of.... oh dear, I can't really explain, but here is a sample:
There was a young lady of Wilts
who walked up to Scotland on stilts
when they said it was shocking
to show so much stocking
she answered "Then what about kilts?"

So, the 1rst, 2nd and last line rhyme to each other. The 3rd and 4rth are shorter and should also rhyme.
Anyone game?
Remember, this needs 5 people to complete one limerick (one line each), then the next person starts a new one.
I guess I need to start the first line to get it going....
There was an old woman of means

Who couldn't quite handle machines

Who couldn't quite handle machines
She pushed and she prodded

There was an old woman of means
Who couldn't quite handle machines
She pushed and she prodded
Got really hot and bothered

There was an old woman of means
Who couldn't quite handle machines
She pushed and she prodded
Got really hot and bothered
I guess it was due to her genes

There was a young lady from Maine

There was a young lady from Maine
Who found there was nothing to gain

There was a young lady from Maine,
Who found there was nothing to gain,
From being quite shy

Who found there was nothing to gain,
From being quite shy
So aimed for the sky

There was a young lady from Maine,
Who found there was nothing to gain,
From being quite shy
So aimed for the sky
And just hoped it didn't drive her insane
