Limericks - 2

The wind is a-howling and moaning
Tonight's not a night to go roamin
Just stay by the fire- read a good book
Turn off the telly, no need to look,

The wind is a-howling and moaning
Tonight's not a night to go roamin
Just stay by the fire- read a good book

The wind is a-howling and moaning
Tonight's not a night to go roaming

The Edinburgh grans, they had a meet
They all sat watching Arthur’s Seat
With a glass of vino in their hand
They certainly were a happy band
And felt it was all such a treat.

OOPS!

I wish I was a butterfly
With beautiful wings that flutter by
Rich colours so bright,
But not seen at night
In the dark black, inky sky.

Great explanation MD, the rules are now very clear, and give us a post to refer back to. Thank you.

I was wondering, as we seem to have some new posters (which is great), and I was asked by someone what the rules were, it would be helpful to remind ourselves of the rules that were agreed on the original limerick thread.

The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm.
The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.
So lines, 1,2 and 5 rhyme and 2and 3 rhyme.
Each poster posts only one line of the limerick. The person who posts the fifth line, starts the new limerick.
Hope this helps clarify things.
Sorry if I'm teaching the Gransnetters to suck eggs.

I made a right hash of that rhyme
It can happen from time to time
Don't worry, Nanny
Odd things happen to Grannies
And some people say its a sign!!!

I'm fed up with eating mince pies
I've had Christmas food up to my eyes

My spring bulbs are coming up now
Nothing last week and then POW!
They're so pretty to see
Underneath my big tree
'Til they're eaten by Farmer Giles' cow.

I’ve been watching the news with a frown
And Donald Trump is getting me down
Wish he’d have a new hairstyle
Because I’d run a mile
If I was chased by Donald, the Clown.
