Limericks 4

A Limerick fascinates me. I like it for 2 reasons. Firstly we have to maintain the form. Only then it is effective. The 1^st, 2^nd and 5^thlines should rhyme together and these are longer sentences. The 3^rd and 4^thshould rhyme together and these are shorter. That’s the basics that I understand without regard to meters which gets me stumped.

 Secondly, the 5^th line provides a ‘punch-line’ sort of. When we are done with reading the 5^th line we get ‘tickled’ and we laugh together.  

 I always go to Mad Kane’s Limerick blog (here) to get the inspiration. Madeleine Begun Kane is the guru in this community. I would try to contribute a limerick with her as often as I can. 

The limericks below were my contributions to Mad Kane’s. Mad Kane provided the first line 'A girl was telling a tale' and A gal was attempting to write. We are to continue. Hope can get some smiles!

A girl was telling a tale

Of how she ensnared a silly male

Do they  expect

A story of sex?

No, just that of a provider during a sale

A gal was attempting to write
Something she thought that would fright
Was a tame affair
Just lots of hot air
But friends tolerated her, claimed her as ‘bright’
