Hi all your Limerick writers. Now we have passed 1000 on our previous thread are you ready to up the stakes and try to write an alphabetical Limerick ?

(But..the third and fourth lines are far too long for a limerick! They're supposed to be shorter than the other three lines....hmm)

NanKate Wed 28-May-14 20:29:17

(Alie I think you will need to cut us a bit of slack on this one.)
(I have added a line and deleted a line - sorry Papaoscar)

Maybe it's just an illusion
Merely a quick conclusion
Mind over matter or we'll get fatter
Maybe it's caused by too much batter
More like a lot of confusion

(Doesn't seem like a limerick to me....)

I gave up!

Well, 'L' got so muddled and I was so confused that I'm afraid I bypassed it & started 'M'!:

My brain's in total confusion

Ana Tue 27-May-14 19:30:22

confused Yes! Did we finish 'L'?

(Whichever you want!)

(This is good brain practice even if we get it wrong sometimes!)
(Remember rhyme form - a-a-b-b-a
Remember the length and rhythm of the lines
Keep to the letter for the one we're doing!)

Leaving our messups behind us
