On a beautiful moonlit night
When the stars were shining bright
A small baby cried
a false lover lied
Which culminated in a really big fight
The lover proved to be untrue
It is fine and I have written down the rules now. I hate being shown up though.just feel really bad now.
The lover proved to be untrue
His actions heād come to rue
The lover proved to be untrue
His actions heād come to rue
When his got found out
The lover proved to be untrue
His actions heād come to rue
When his got found out
She gave him a clout
The lover proved to be untrue
His actions heād come to rue
When he got found out
She gave him a clout
Then strutted off home for a brew
Heād really put her off men
Heād really put her off men
Till along came the gorgeous Ben
Heād really put her off men
Till along came the gorgeous Ben
With a big flashy car
Heād really put her off men
Till along came the gorgeous Ben
With a big flashy car
and a giant Yorkie bar
Heād really put her off men
Till along came the gorgeous Ben
With a big flashy car
and a giant Yorkie bar
āTwas a case not of āifā but of āwhenā

He thought heād impress her with dinner

He thought heād impress her with dinner
But all she got were some chips

He thought heād impress her with dinner
But all she got were some chips
Which head straight for the hips

At this rate, sheād never get thinner
She made up her mind to ditch him
She made up her mind to ditch him
No way could she date someone that dim
so the rules have confused meā¦does not take too much but here they areā¦
A fresh start for limericks.
Lines 1. 2. And 5. Seven to ten syllables with the same verbal rhythm.
Lines 3. And 4. Five to seven syllables with the same verbal rhythm.
E.g. There was a young lady from Nice
Insisted on bathing in grease
She slid through the house
Tormenting her spouse
So he hid in the oven for peace.
So it is ok for the rules to state line 3 and 4ā¦ 5-7 syllables
yet seems to me there is less than 5ā¦seen many othersā¦or except I am still not getting itā¦
Dianne, i dont see the problem with the limerick you have quoted?
Those lines are 8,8,5,5,8 syllables.
. . . . So show me where the problem is and i will try and help.
But if youāre really struggling, i would just do other games that are less hassle perhaps?
- I know many of the rhymes are too long, but that is because when someone writes too many syllabuls, it makes it difficult for the next person to put right.
She made up her mind to ditch him
No way could she date someone that dim
Sheād look for a guy

Who was handsome but shy
I thought it was three wordsā¦and it said 5-7ā¦christ really and lost now with the wordsā¦not saying at all that I am dyslexic, but most of my family areā¦exit not be back on quizzes everā¦music will be me from now onā¦
