Writing Limericks for St. Patty's Day

Welp, it appears I am not an overnight YouTube sensation. Haha! But, I had a great time and learned a lot. Like keep it short stupid! Anyway, I will keep at it. In case you haven't had time to watch the lengthy video, I can summarize the fun stuff.

In honor of St. Patty's Day this coming weekend, I spent a month off and on learning to write limericks. Not my favorite thing, but when it comes to writing any challenge is a good challenge. Promotes growth!

Here's how to do it:

It's a sing-songy, bouncy rhythm in this format:

These 2 lines rhyme:

Line 1 - 8 to 9 syllables

Line 2 - 8 to 9 syllables

These 2 lines rhyme:

Line 3 - 5 to 6 syllables

Line 4 - 5 to 6 syllables

This line rhymes with Lines 1 and 2:

Line 5 - 8 to 9 syllables

Limericks are generally known for being funny and can be sexual in nature. Basically, you're telling a story in 5 lines (or stanzas).

Here are a couple of my silly attempts:

A girl loves a guy forever,

and win his heart she endeavors,

until his eye roams,

and takes him from home,

then she plucks it out like heather.

A writer avoids their computer,

afraid their writings will be neutered,

they stuff them inside,

'til they're buried alive,

then there's no need for a computer.

A gal learned her man had cheated,

then their discussion became heated,

she threatened to kill,

he let out a shrill,

now his man parts are deleted.

Hope you have fun creating!
