Most times when we think of limericks, we think of the the short and sweet poems with the universal tune. In this session, we read a few examples of limericks including the classic “There Was an Old Man With a Beard” by Edward Lear. In another example of a limerick We clapped out the rhythm of the poem and analyzed its rhyme scheme. Then, students created their own original limericks!

I went to the HIP mall with my friends
My friends have good traits
I went to Hot Topic and Five Below
I love my teachers they let me grow
I have a good time. It was great!

I did fun things in class
Lunch was great, no need for trash
Where I met my ex girlfriend
It was a sad end
I played outside in the grass
