Limericks are such a fun way to express your feeling and make people laugh. They are easy to write and can make you laugh so hard.
It’s simple and fun and once you write one you’ll be hooked. Just follow the simple rule of rhyme and line. You just need an AABBA rhyming scheme. On all limericks the first, second and last lines rhyme and the third and forth lines rhyme. That’s it. Now let’s get started here are a few funny one to get you going. Add yours here and let’s all laugh a bit today -
A Dog Named Dole
I once knew a dog named Dole
He chanced his tail and climbed a pole
He barked all day
Rolling in the hay
Until he jumped and fell in a hole
********************************************
A Cat Named Jack
I once knew a cat named Jack
He was hit in the head with a smack
He rolled on the ground
Chasing a hound
Until he stumbled and fell on his back
*********************************************
A Man Named Snapple
I once knew a man named Snapple
He rolled on the ground chasing apples
He chased them to eat
By the balls of his feet
Until he ran home to the chapel
**********************************************
A Man Named Happy
I once knew a man named Happy
He was my old Grand Pappy
He was never on time
Till he fell on a dime
Now he dresses real snappy
***********************************************
A Woman Named Sal
I once knew a woman named Sal
She was my very best pal
She escaped one day
In a truck full of hay
And now she’s best friend with Val
****************************************************
A Man Named Oren
I once knew a man named Oren
He loved to be so foreign
He stepped on some corn
And blew out his horn
And now they call him Warren
********************************************
A Dog Called Dung
I once had a dog called Dung
He had the longest tongue
He rolled and played
In the sewer all day
And now he has an iron lung
**********************************************
Toothless Old Hound
I once knew a toothless old hound
Who loved to roll on the ground
He rolled in the grass
To scratch his rash
Until one day they took him to the pound

A quick - spur of the moment limerick
I too shall try my hand
Not knowing where I'll land
With words that rhyme I shall fight
Trying my best to get it all right
Lest I should be banned

Setting a goal not easy to reach
Sticking to myLot like a leach
From morn to dusk going on and on
Night has come and morning gone
Struggling that level to breach

You should always keep smiling
This keeps you in the swing
With your face aglow
You'll have fun in the snow
And keeps you smiling till spring

That is really cute. I never did much writing like this before. It was an online friend in a poetry club who ask me if I wanted to join her and have some fun. I decided to drop by the site and started to laugh so hard. I wrote a few of my one. I think once you read a few and laugh you can't help yourself but to write a few of your own.
