If I may, Muggle Not, I think your last line should rhyme with hand.

 

 

Example - in Limerick form:

 

A: What is /a limerick,/ Mother?

A: It's a form/ of verse,/ said brother

B: In which lines/ one and two 

B: Rhyme with five/ when it's through 

A: And three and four/ rhyme with/ each other.

Yes, you certainly may. I stepped into something that I am not very good at. :)

Please continue on.

And the old ways of doing each chore

With a mop in one hand

Our cleaning is planned

Ate a diet of lobster and melon

Dyspepsia galore

Muggle your rhythm was perfect and it's very easy to make a mistake with which lines to rhyme ... we all do it! Don't let one little mistake put you off. It's a fun game :lol:

Oh yes Muggle, please don't give up! I only mentioned it to explain why I took what was the same line. I'm no expert myself having started the game at the same time as you. We need your input!

Had him roll on the floor

There was a young lady from Spain

Now luna has sorted out the rhyme scheme for us, perhaps we can pay a bit more attention to the rhythm of a limerick , which is

Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada

Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada

Di dah/ diddy dah

Di dah/ diddy dah

Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada

 

and lets  see if we can make up some that fit both rhyme and rhythm.

 So, Hayley, over to you for the first line of our next Limerick
