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.
