Limericks

This week we have written poems in Reading. Students wrote a haiku and a limerick. Next week we will learn about personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, imagery and free verse. In Language Arts we will finish up our grammar unit.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Some fun limericks:

A flea and 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.

-Ogden Nash

There was an Old Person whose habits,

Induced him to feed upon rabbits,

When he'd eaten eighteen,

He turned perfectly green,

Upon Which he relinquished those habits.

-Edward Lear

There once was a man with strange hair.

He said, "Anything other than physics, don't care."

He sat down with a book,

And had a long look,

And he realized that E=mc2!

-Sarah Antel
