"Limericks"
I assume that everyone is familiar with the term, and knows what a limerick actually is, if not, do a Google search and you will get a full explanation. Well, I have always been amazed at the mind stimulation that can be realized from a simple 5 line verse.
Below is a favorite of mine that got me interested in trying my luck at writing some.
"There once was a lad at Trinity"
"Who derived the square root of infinity"
"He suffered such fidgets"
"From dealing with digits"
"He changed from math to divinity"
Now, here is my first try.
I once had a gal in my class
Who experienced some trouble to pass
She dispensed with tradition
And stopped paying tuition
But still charged her father the cash
Now, for my latest!
There is a guy called Obama
And to some he’s caused quite a trauma
He appears quite sane
Despite his middle name… [Hussein]
But he’s proving he’s really a Bummer
I'm through for now, so try you hand at it and see if it stimulates "your" mind.
