A Wonderful Bird Is The Pelican
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,
He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
A limerick is a short and fun five-line poem with a distinctive rhythm. The first, second and fifth lines are longer than the third and fourth lines. The rhyming pattern is AABBA. The longer A lines rhyme with each other and the shorter B lines rhyme with each other.
A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His bill will hold more than his belican,

If ice cream could be grown on the tree top,
Tiny tummies would be liking it lots.
Any fruit flavour
For all to savour.
Thank you for the congratulations on my winning the Summer Poetry Contest, Brother John. Winning was an unexpected surprise. To my mind, all of the entries were worthy winners. Yours I...
Oh, I wish that I had a green thumb.
All my houseplants are looking quite glum.
I never can tell
Why they're looking unwell
Greetings, fellow Aussie! Yes, "the care we inflict"....well put. Thanks, Raelene, for the kind feedback.

There once was a fellow named Abe
And today is the day he was slayed
John Wilkes Booth took his life
As he sat with his wife
If a person would have several friends,
here's the thing upon which it depends;
are you willing to share
when there isn't much there
There's this subject called chemistry
how it works is a total mystery
it is an atom
says my madam
The chemistry subject can be difficult at first, but it will really show you everything you need to know in the world, because this world itself is chemistry.

Once I did hear my brother call
The sun a giant fire ball.
How can that be?
For what I see,
The poem written in simple colloquial language expresses the genuine thoughts of an innocent child who admires nature.
I remember when I was small and cool,
I was always playing truant from school.
My mum used to say,
"You'll regret it one day
It's only now that I'm older I realise my school years were the best days of my life. If only I could turn back time.
There's a lady in each of our lives
Who endured all the lows and the highs
That her children went through
Like the mumps or the flu
This is a poem almost everyone can relate to. I thank you for making this. I read this to my mom for Mother's Day, and she teared up a little!
Time to wake up my sweet little one.
It is time for you to see the rising sun.
Stay awake, my superstar.
Mum's left open the cookie jar.
