Since I didn't see this topic anywhere, I thought I'd start it. Limericks are short, usually humorous poems that generally have the form of 'AABBA' rhyme scheme with every third syllable accented, where 'A' is a rhyming word to the other 'A's and 'B' is a rhyming word to the next 'B'.

Here is an example (a science-based one):

On a merry-go-round in the night,
Coriolis was shaken with fright.
Despite how he walked,
'Twas like he was stalked,
By some fiend always pushing him right.



This one happens to be a play-on words:

A tutor who taught on the flute
Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"


See what you could come up with smile.gif

Again, if this topic exists somewhere else, just ignore mine.

“Hey Harry!” said Cedric, strolling up to him. “Did you hear those screams? I almost died!... Is that David Bowie?”
“Never mind that, look!” the American exchange student exclaimed. “I found the Triwizard cup! It’s mine! All mine! I’ll finally get the fame and glory and honor I deserve!”
“Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned.
“Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!”
“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”
