What is a limerick?
A limerick
is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one
triplet. The rhyme pattern is A A B B A with lines
1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats and rhyming, and lines
3 and 4 having two beats and rhyming. Some people
say that the limerick was invented by soldiers
returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick
in the 1700's.
Limericks are meant to be funny. They often contain
hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idioms, puns, and other
figurative devices. The last line of a good limerick
contains the PUNCH LINE or "heart of the joke." As
you work with limericks, remember to have pun,
err FUN! Say the following limerick out loud
and clap to the rhythm.
A flea and a fly in a
flue
Were caught, so what
could they do?
Said
the fly,"Let us flee."
"Let us fly," said the
flea.
So they flew through a
flaw in the flue.
