Limerick writing Mark 2 alphabetical !

(why not?)

Protect all the times (*Elegran*?)

Take care of the times

Peruse the rhymes

Probably with a slight delay!

Perfection is coming our way

Observing the fit make their mark.

Or reflect how we've messed up

On the benches we rest up (Sorry, I came back to the thread after a few days holiday, and forgot it was alphabetical)

We rest on the benches

Only heading for home when it's dark

(O?)

( ana Here are some being sung - you hear the rhythm better than wnen it is written down. - www.youtube.com/watch?v=7blpH-wfGnI )

On Sunday we walk in the park

Nicely dressed in pyjamas

Not to be too late

Now let's get this straight

Never forget your good manners
Nor to use them with all your Nannas

I dunno about the 4-line things.
We, of course, are making things FAR more difficult!

Nor to use them with all your Nannas

I've retrieved this post from Elegran from the first Limerick thread - I'm sure she won't mind if it's used again now

'If anyone is confused about how limericks should scan, say to yourself:-

Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom,
Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom,
Di pom diddy pom, (or Diddy pom diddy pom)
Di pom diddy pom, (or Diddy pom diddy pom)
Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom.'

Sorry, Shysal - back to your first line.

Never forget your good manners

Maybe it's just an illusion
Merely a quick conclusion
Mind over matter
Or we'll get fatter
More like a lot of confusion

Something like that, although it doesn't make a lot of sense!

I didn't know that Ana. Any chance you could update this changing the incorrect lines ?
