Day in day out, I am really falling in love with Grammar! Why the heck did I not study English at the University? Anyway, that’s a story for another day.
By the way; I love the course I studied at the University…
So, to the main article, which is Limerick
What is Limerick?
Limerick is a poem that has five rhyming lines. In limerick, line 1,2 and 5 must rhyme, while line 3 and 4 must rhyme… It is usually humorous but rhyming…
It is like below:
A -Line 1: Glow
A- Line 2: Blow
B- Line 3: Blue
B- Line 4: Glue
A- Line 5: Flow
Or better still, just say, AABBA
Lines 1, 2, 5 should have at least 8-10 syllables, while the syllables for lines 4 and 5 are shorter; may be 5-7 syllables.
