Actually the saga started when a friend of mine casually remarked about the interesting gtalk statuses composed by another friend. For some strange reason, I just had to make a limerick that day. Stayed up till quite some time to put some lines in place. Didn't manage anything even remotely decent though.. and slept off.
But had a small brainwave of sorts the next day when I woke up. And this is the outcome of my efforts - my first ever limerick ! :-)
Tossing in his bed he lay awake
A limerick he wanted to make
The structure he knew fine
AABBA was the rhyme
So he just ended the poem with snake.
Actually what happened is that the influence was so strong that on day 2 I came up with one more limerick. That went thus -
There was a young man from Kent
He would never pay his rent
The landlord lost his cool
Chucked out the young fool
So now the poor chap lives in a tent.
Hehe. I quite enjoyed writing these actually. One good thing about limericks is that they are essentially about humor. Another better thing is that they allow you a lot of creative freedom in terms of choosing fictional names, situations, stories, exaggerations, etc. Will try to come up with some more in future.
