The trick to a Limerick

Thanks to my friend, Boney N, I have been doing a "Daily Challenge" since over a year ago.  I started with the default track of "Emotional Well-being".  Then I moved on to "Conquering Clutter" and now I am doing the "Pleasant Pauses" track which is really very pleasant.

Anyway, a couple of days ago, the daily challenge was to write a limerick.

How to do it

A limerick is a five-line poem that follows a simple rhyming scheme: the first, second and fifth lines all rhyme, and the third and fourth lines both rhyme. Unlike other forms of poetry, all you need to write a limerick is a sense of humor. Need help getting started? Take a cue from Edward Lear, a nineteenth-century writer (whose very popular limericks weren't dirty or indecent!). His limericks typically began with, "There was an old man of ..." or "There was a young lady whose ..."

This was what I wrote...

There was an old lady from KL

and she tried like hell

to write this well

didn't follow the rule

but it's still cool!

I didn't expect to get any response but my friend, Lyn C wrote this comment:

This lady I know is not so old, 

her heart is young

and she is full of fun

although, at times quite bold

 I am told ;-) 

and if that wasn't enough to warm my heart, another friend, Darrell C wrote this:

There was a young lady named Lita

It would be hard to find a lady more sweeta.

She posts pictures on FaceBook

That make me take a second look

Some of them knock me offa my feeta~ lol 

I have to thank "Daily Challenge" for these wonderful people who fill my life with smiles.
