Limerick Poems

This week we learnt how to write limerick poems. Limerick Poems have 5 lines. Line number 1, 2 and 5 all rhyme with each other and have 8 or 9 syllables. Lines 3 and 4 both rhyme with each other and have 5 or 6 syllables.  

This is all 5 of my limerick poems.

Limerick Poems

Number 1

There was a man with a beard

Who was really weird and disappeared

The man was called Stan

and he lived in a can

Then he found a deer and shaved his beard

Number 2

There once was a young person in red

and then he got hit in the head

His wife almost cried

because he nearly died

Then he layed on his comfy bed

Number 3

There was a lady named Claire

and got hit in the head with a chair

She had a friend called Bob

Then pulled off a doorknob

She also likes to care and stare

Number 4

There once was a old man from the west

He lived in a dark gloomy nest

He played with his brother

But didn’t like his mother

And people thought he was the best

Number 5

There was a man with a red nose

His friend gave him a rose

He went away to France

He got a chance to dance

and he ran away with his clothes
