Limericks

Kaia was learning about Limericks today, and we found a few examples on Wikipedia that made me laugh.  Thought I'd share:

The limerick packs laughs anatomical

In space that is quite economical.

But the good ones I've seen

So seldom are clean

And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

 

 

 

A lively young damsel named Menzies

Inquired: "Do you know what this thenzies?"

    Her aunt, with a gasp,

    Replied: "It's a wasp,

And you're holding the end where the stenzies.

 

(that was Kaia's favorite by FAR)

 

There was a young man from Japan

Whose limericks never would scan.

When asked why this was,

He replied "It's because

I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as ever I possibly can

 

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks.

But he failed at the sport,

For he wrote 'em too short.

 

 (haha)

 

I think we might have to do more poetry.  We've been really enjoying these and some Acrostic Poems as well.  Next is Haiku, I believe.  Any other suggestions?
