When I'm Old
When I'm old and mankey,
I'll never use a hanky.
I'll wee on plants
and soil my pants
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.

My dog is quite hip
Except when he takes a dip.
He looks like a fool
when he jumps in the pool
I thought the same about the poem. The dog in the pool is very cool.
Why do we have homework after school?
This is so uncool.
I so want to cry
I want to deny
This is very funny and true. Nice poem. Keep it up!

There once was a fish who could talk.
He wanted to learn how to walk.
He got out from the sea,
Fell right onto me,
A wonderful bird is the pelican,

He can take in his beak
Enough food for a week
I can see my dad's face and hear him reciting this poem as soon as he saw a pelican...every time. Sparks joy in the midst of grief. I miss him so much. Making a memorial space with a pelican...
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Those birds will just nest anywhere! Of course they need to build a home for their young-uns. Our dad told us a story that when he was young he would help gather the clothes off the clothes...

There once was a man from Greece
He was incredibly obese
He rolled round the world
crushing all boys and girls
A dragon flies through the night sky
Not to be seen by a mortals eye
They fly so high not to be seen
Whoever can see one has eyes that are keen...
Poems, what a silly thing.
They're meaningless and boring,
Pointless and rhyme.
Who wastes their time,...
There once was a man called Costello
A silly Vaudevillian fellow
He expired this day
So this tribute we pay
