Week 28 (March 14th - March 18th)
A limerick is a silly poem with five lines. They are often funny or nonsensical. They have a very specific rhythm or beat. Limericks were made famous by Edward Lear, a famous author who wrote the "Book of Nonsense" in the 1800's. This was an entire book of silly limericks. They originate from Ireland which is why we often hear them around St. Patrick’s Day.
How to write a limerick:
The first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 8 or 9).
The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 5 or 6)
Limericks often start with the line "There once was a..." or "There was a..."
