There once was a class from Parnell...

Today we have been using rhyming words to help us write some limericks.  We found out that Limericks have a special rhyme pattern.  It goes like like this:
A limerick always has 5 lines.  Lines 1,2 and 5 have the same rhyme and lines 3 and 4 have a different rhyme:
We realised that limericks don't always make sense but that's ok. However, they should try and make you laugh.  
Here are some of our efforts...


Lily's Limerick
There once was a girl who was silly
And a new boy called Billy
They always had kisses
But he always misses
A girl called Lily

Terri's Limerick
The boy likes to Zap
The boy zapped his cap
He used some glue
it was very blue
Afterwards he took a nap

Cameron's Limerick
There were 1000 bugs
In each of our mugs
They were smashing
And they were bashing
Like thugs in giant jugs
