A Limerick From Me, Or Two
Well maybe more for you!
Limerick - 5 lines, rhyming 1, 2, and 5, then lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other. There is more to it but this is enough for now. Usually funny, and nonsense.
My Friend Sal
There once was an elderly gal named Sal
Who flourished in her youth and was a pal
She went out for a swim in May
It was quite the swim on that day
She turned purple and almost died in that canal
~~~~
My Friend Henry
Henry was a young boy I met on Saturday
He was full of spit and vinegar that day
Some may say shit, not spit
I choose to say spit or s-it
Henry is trouble in almost every way.

Then one about John
John is a monkey or so his sister tells
He is always teasing the child rebels
Calls their name, they say what
He says you are a nut!
Never any quiet times or lulls!
~
He is a man this is the truth
We love spending time in a booth
out to dinner we go
fun and everyone know
the way to a man's heart is in his tooth.
~
John is fun and a big-time joker
and loves to play cards and poker
He is a man of men
I like that amen.
He is no longer a smoker or toker.

'Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave'
The intricacies of who is weaving the webs
So much work has to go into the spiderwebs
Who does the best work,
humans or spiders lurk
around when no one is watching the threads

Authors Note: The mood of the author can determine the humor or nonsense in the limerick. Not my best limericks. Probably too serious of a mood this morning.

A Pantoum
There are more formal interpretations of how to write a pantoum, but I’ve decided to try this one, mainly because it’s easier. Write 8 lines of poetry Then put them together using this basic structure: Lines 1, 2, 3, 4, Line 2, 5, 4, 6, Lines 5, 7, 6, 8, Lines 7, 3, 8, 1 Tree Langdon

The limerick about weaving spiderwebs explores the intricacies of creation. Your limericks demonstrate a diverse range of themes and moods, reflecting the author's creativity and unique perspective. Thanks!
Hahahahahahha these Limericks made me laugh! I loved them all!
Limericks are hard to write and you did a very good job at this form.
Well-wrought! Some whimsical takes, but the last one was my favorite because it has a depth to it... is it Charlotte's Web or a web of malicious Machiavellian machinations? Like with the author, the mood of the reader may determine the answer...
So whimsical!
