Post a short limerick

[Celtore 2,770]

I've always found these fun to make and they don't really take too much to think up. They're quick little verses that follow a certain flow in the rhyming pattern aabba. The a's are longer lines and the b's are much shorter. It can be a short story, an allegory, nonsense, there's lots of potential.

 

For more information, see Spongebob "Man from Peru."

 

 

There once was a lady named marge
she baked goods for her friends free of charge
they ate all her food
to not would be rude
until they noticed they'd became quite large

 

 

 

There was an old skipper out west,

with safety and such, was obsessed;

but when trouble struck,

he had run out of luck,

that day, he had not worn his life vest

(constant vigilance!)

Ooh, Limericks! This sounds fun. I think I'll give it a try

 

There was once a brony from earth,

from my little pony he obtained much mirth,

when season 4 reached its end,

the boredom following the finale needed a mend,

to poor fanfiction he'll most likely give birth

 

There once was a mare from pony ville,

who flew quickly over the hills.

with a sonic rain boom,

she eliminated all feelings of doom,

She makes others happy to this day still

Sorry to not quite be following the precise directions, but perhaps you can give me a pass just this once, as a while ago I created this poem.  It is aabbcc... or at least I think it is.  Nonetheless, if you like limericks, I'd assume you could like my poem.

 

Flying through the atmosphere of the world in your mind,

A place that is utterly unknown to the rest of mankind,

When go and you let your imagination take control,

And sit backseat to the chauffeur without a toll,

Conscious and subconscious seem to inter-twine,

Anything that felt wrong becomes a fading little line,

Outside sounds drift away with isolation inside,

No worries or problems; nothing to even hide,

So slide away from the outer universe,

Float inside letting the mind disperse,

Time hasn't a definition,

Nor do physics or gravitation,

On the inside,

Without rules to abide,

It's a friendly neighborhood,

Built of anything but plain wood,

It's yours to shape, build, and save,

And it's up to you how to behave,

The subject could be anything you like,

You could be in a car, a plane, even on a bike,

Or you could be walking, or floating, or taking a hike,

Nothing can limit your brain if that's what you believe,

Anything is possible for you on this tomorrow's eve,

Flying through the atmosphere of the world in your mind.
