Limerick: A Humorous Five-Line Poem

A Limerick is a type of silly poem
With five lines and a distinctive tone
The rhythm’s so fun
It can’t be outdone
It’ll have you laughing into the unknown

The first two lines set up the joke
The third line twists it, makes it a poke
The last two lines then
Wrap it up once again
With a punchline that’ll leave you broke

There once was a fellow named Ned
Who thought he’d be eating some bread
But the moment he bit
He let out a fit
For the bread was alive, not yet dead

Limericks can be dirty or clean
Aimed at adults or children, it seems
Whatever the case
They’ll put a smile on your face
And have you laughing, full of gleam

So if you need a giggle or two
Or just something fun to pursue
Write a Limerick down
With a smile, not a frown
And let the humor come shining through!
