Limericks 7

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely whilst being patted by humans,

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely whilst being patted by humans,
Who only complain when you spew in their shoe man

No offence meant but please could we keep to limerick shape

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely,
Paws crossed precisely

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely,
Paws crossed precisely
On his master's gleaming new Benz

I think I'll gatecrash the Queen's garden party

I think I'll gatecrash the queen's garden party
I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!

I think I'll gatecrash the queen's garden party
I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!
Nose held high

I think I'll gatecrash the queen's garden party
I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!
Nose held high
Then bye and bye

I think I'll gatecrash the queen's garden party
I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!
Nose held high
Then bye and bye
If it rains I could get a bit clarty.

She may give me a ride in her coach




It occurs to me that many people here don't quite know how to write a limerick and keep to the very specific rhythms required.

As Jangran99 says, cute though many of these poems are, they are not limericks and that's the whole point of the thread. Unless we simply call it 'humorous poems'?
It's up to whoever started it to judge.

Meanwhile, to help, here's a How To page.
