Funny Limericks

Today in 3/4 we learnt how to write limericks. 

A limerick is a silly poem with five lines.  They are often funny or nonsensical.  Limericks were made famous by Edward Lear, a famous author who wrote the "Book of Nonsense" in the 1800's.  This was an entire book of silly limericks.

Here are a few of the students from this morning:

Monkey Man
There was a cheeky monkey man,
He hit a zookeeper with a pan,
And climbed up a tree,
And did a great wee,
And escaped into a fast van.

Family Eating
I ate my mum, I ate my dad,
And my brother is really mad,
So I ate him as well,
I was really on a heavy pad.

Smelly Belly
There once was a smelly belly,
Which smelt like rotten jelly,
She very very fat,
I'm sure about that,
So that was our smelly belly.

By Amelie

Gigantic Poo
There once was a gigantic poo,
It loved being in the loo,
He thought it was fun,
So he pushed his mum,
In the gigantic toilet too.
