Easter Eggy Limerick

I’ve been having some computer problems and I’ve re-written this post twice. (I lost my first attempt!) So Mr Erase Limerick Pencil is laughing at me… how foolish can you be?

Anyway, perhaps losing the plot like this was meant to be as my first attempt was most probably worse than this one….

This is all new to me – I have never written a limerick before. As I had no idea how to write a limerick I resorted to a kids website, (thought a basic approach would help me!) :

Here’s the link:

There are some rules -:

Limericks, like all poetic forms, have a set of rules that you need to follow. The rules for a limerick are fairly simple:

• They are five lines long – keep it short….
• Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with one another … Tricky.
• Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other…. More Tricky.
• They have a distinctive rhythm, oh my goodness!!

• They are usually funny. I hope …..

Here’s my limericks with and without the word chocolate in them! 

EGGY LIMERICK  No. 1

Pink egg is so big it is vast,

So vast it is such an egg blast,

I eat it in one,

Seems a lotta fun,

Oh them hiccups come kinda fast!

Esther’s challenge was to write the limerick with the word chocolate in it so here goes:

EGGY Limerick No. 2

Seems a lotta fun,

Them Choc Hiccups Come Kinda Fast!
