We have never been more gutted than today that literally NOTHING rhymes with "mosaic". 😢

On #NationalLimerickDay
The poets all come out to play
They do try to scan
But so few of them can
Stress 3, 3, 2, 2, 3, okay?

There once was a widow named Snape
Who dressed in the blackest of crape
In her long mourning veil
She turned bachelors pale
As they scrambled to make their escape.

[19th c. trope of voracious widow hunting a husband]
c. 1870-72 mourning ensemble.

Henry VIII's Mary Rose
Why she sank, nobody knows.
Was it the weather
Or just human error
Frankly, the mystery grows!

Day 12

There once was a doggo named Peyton,
Who had spent quite a lot of time waitin',
For cookies and treats,
"Mom pop to your feet,
And fetch me the noms that I'm cravin'"

My poem wrapped in a meme "Ode to Media Literacy" is a little too long for a limerick and too short for an ode.

On #NationalLimerickDay, please don't call the poetry police!

There once was a man it was said,
who wore a streetlamp on his head.
But he found it too light
when he laid down at night
and his head wouldn't fit in his bed.

There once was a difficult coo,
who wouldn't go to sea with a crew.
They pushed and they pulled,
but the coo wouldn't be fooled,
it just stood there and let out a moo.

There once was an archaeologist called Alice
Who dreamt of discovering a palace.
While digging in mud
She said 'Christ, this is crud!'
And backfilled with haste and with malice.

There was a sleepy old man in a chair
Who talked nonsense with a blank stare
He was incredibly crass, a true dumbass
And was topped with ridiculous hair

Day 12: limerick
Basil struck gold in the night,
Left crumbs while I seethed out of sight.
He thinks he’s so sly,
But next time I’ll try
To swipe them all first out of spite! 😼

Hi Pals! We were just informed it's #NationalLimerickDay! We just lubs a good Limerick. Emma finks I shud stick to sports instead of pawetry. 🙄

There was a wee cat named Lyca
She was such a cute little tyka.

Her eyes were so green.
As green as her cool motorbyka. 😹😹😹

Day 12: #NationalLimerickDay

A fact some dog caretakers have missed
There is no dog poo fairy
So get out your plastic bag
And clean up that poop
So we are welcome already !

Day 12 #NationalLimerickDay There once was a beagle named River,
Whose shenanigans made mummy shiver.
With a glint in her eye,
She’d roll in any 💩 passed by.
And scoff all the noms that you give her! 😋😋

And this is me wearing my favourite 🦊💩🙈😂😂

We are writing a limerick
And to do it quick
We must follow the rules
Like in school
Hopefully you’ll think it’s slick!

She’s packing her heels and her lace,
To tempt in some faraway place.
You think it’s all beaches?
It’s secrets and peaches.
And trouble you’re eager to chase.

Happy #NationalLimerickDay! 🍑
