Here are some examples of those that don't, which were taken from the book on limericks I mention in the article.<br /> <br />"A delighted incredulous bride"<br /> <br />"There once was a fellow named Bob"<br /> <br />"A wartime young lady of fashion”<br /><br /> <br />To Janet Muirhead: You have caught the rhytym.<br /> <br />To Dani: Your limerick has a nice surprise ending—I am sure you worked hours on that ending! Piddle? Good job.<br /> <br />To Christina: Let's see the bawdy ones, if that is allowed on the blog.<br /> <br />To Kathryn Craft: I identify with your limerick. I'm on Weightwatchers. Very nicely done.<br /> <br />To Maryann: Take advantage of the cloudiness. You never know what might develop on paper.<br /> <br />To Dennis: If you did this years ago, just think of what might be lurking in your pen today.<br /> <br />To Morgan: The lines ending "Sal" and "Al" and "pal" will make up lines 1,2, and 5. Now find something for the couplet in the middle.<br /> <br />To Charlotte: This limerick flowed well. I really like it as it meets frustration head on. Good work.<br /> <br />And Dani: Each one is the best.Luis Lopeznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-64568745871849062482010-04-28T08:55:08.680-06:002010-04-28T08:55:08.680-06:00I hope the good prof answers the first question - ...I hope the good prof answers the first question - I do want to know now!<br /><br />DaniDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-50655993054524852142010-04-28T06:23:58.219-06:002010-04-28T06:23:58.219-06:00Y'all have talent and imagination
