Limrick

There is a girl named Random

her words are an awesome scramble

and her writing burns like a candle

does this inspiration come natural?

Limericks have a strict rhyming scheme

AABBA and are always 5 lines, the second 2 usually shorter. For a comic form they are very strict! The was an old lady from Clyde who ate fifty apples and died the apples fermented inside the lamented and made cider inside her inside. cheers, Jess

There is also the unfortunate Japanese man

There is a young man in Japan whose poems just never will scan he sits up all night but try as he might, he always ends up putting as many words into the last line as he possibly can. 8) cheers, Jess
