Writing verses, you need a big lexicon
in Bantu, Punjabi or Mexican
It helps if you know
Lots of big words and so

Nuh-uh. The fifth line rhymes with the first and second. That's why the fifth is so hard.

I think I'll get on a plane
And escape Limerick Hell. What a pain!
I'll fly off to see
Mother Goose Purgatory*

stretching the meter

Hey! I found a green frog in the bathtub
And it called to me, croaking, "You poor schlub!"

Redemption???

Hey! I found a green frog in the bathtub
And it called to me, croaking, "You poor schlub!"
I am doubled with glee,
'cause you still need to see,
whether kissing gets you a prince or a dud.

Nuh-uh-uh, threedogpeople...you only get to add one line at a time (unless you write the 5th line; then you also start the new limerick).

Hey! I found a green frog in the bathtub
And it called to me, croaking, "You poor schlub!"
I am doubled with glee,
'Cuz it jumped on my knee

Then fell in the toilet -- glub glub!

This world is in free-fall
and my mangy dog needs an oil change
:Wha:

The change is beginning to leave

"Holy pickpockets, Batman!" I grieve
But holy, they ain't;
the pants are. Complaint...
My idiot tailor can't weave.

The beginning is leaving a change

The beginning is leaving a change
And i'm humming "Home on the Range"
But, though tumbleweeds tumble

and glum grumblers mumble
I still caught L from Charlie's Ange

:faint:

I'm leaving, a change to begin
