your limericks are rubbish, the syllables are all wrong.
They weren't supposed to any good. I could do a sonnet if you would prefer.
However, for those who may be interested:
How to write a limerick:
The first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 8 or 9). The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other and have the same number of syllables (typically 5 or 6).
Limericks often start with the line "There once was a..." or "There was a..."
Example of an 8,8,5,5,8 syllable limerick:
There once was a clover named Kate,
Who sat on the edge of a plate,
The fancy folk dined,
On foods of all kind,
Then tossed her at quarter past eight.
Limericks were made famous by Edward Lear, a famous author who wrote the "Book of Nonsense" in the 1800's.
There once was a Scott called McClair (Eight)
He played for Motherwell, we could be aware (11)
He kicked Nigel Winterburn in the back (10)
During a Manchester United attack (10)
A point was docked to Fergie's despair. (9)
Any suggestions for 8,8,5,5,8?
