+shopthebookworm Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 It is Limerick Day, one of those poems that is fun. We celebrate this day with 25% poetry and short story section and would like it if you will post a favorite one or see if you can try your hand at making one up. Who is up for the challenge. In case you don't know exactly what it is, here is a description and sample below. We may make up a few up if it gets to slow. I hope that doesn't happen as we have lots to do today and hopefully a lot of customers to take care of A limerick is a five line poem. The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme and so do the third and fourth. The first, third, and fifth have the same verbal rhythm (meter) and length, and so do the second and fourth In the Louvre they have a fine show With Picasso, Monet and Corot Not to mention that peerless But sadly one-earless Artist named Vinny van Gogh Link to post Share on other sites

+Computer Rescue Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Here is our attempt. Most of this poetic writing came from my ever so creative technician, Casey Hesse. _____________________________________________________ There once was Computer Rescue, Who stood where there were few. Being very honest, And quite modest. They exclaimed "we are here to help you!!" _____________________________________________________ There stood Computer Rescue, On top of some fescue They listened for a yelp, To see who they could help. Someone sneezed and they said bless you. Being quite humble, Like the great bumble. Working to keep it all sane, They work not for their own gain, Trying not to stumble. To make your computer like new, There is only Computer Rescue. In the darkness of night, We will always fight. To find a way to help you!!! Alright..now back to work..

JDPennock Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 The limerick is furtive and mean You must keep her in close quarantine Or she sneaks to the slums And promptly becomes Disorderly, drunk and obscene. Link to post Share on other sites
