Limericks

Did you know that, according to wikipedia (click),

"A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict form (AABBA), originally popularized in English by Edward Lear, which intends to be witty or humorous, and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent." Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.

Well, we are not going to create any obscene ones, but we'll definitely make them funny and wacky :)

You can use the following to help you get started. When you are more confident, create your very own limericks! As you work with limericks, remember to have pun, I mean FUN! Then say the limericks out LOUD and clap to the rhythm.
