A girl named Amelia Hicks,
Went to Discount Day at the flicks.
She sat right through Jaws,
Halloween and Star Wars
For a cost of Sixteen Sixty-six.

Limerick Day by James Aitchison
Leave a commentMay the twelfth is Limerick Day,
So I thought I’d better just say,
Limericks are fun,
Have a go at one,
Grab your pen without delay!

Below are two fantastic poems from our youngest contributor.
1 CommentEight year old Ronan Redmond has written an acrostic poem and a limerick.
AN ACROSTIC WEEKEND by Ronan Redmond.
Footy is always a very fun sport,
On weekends you always have to be a good sport.
On Sunday, I like to call it a fun day!
Tackling is very dangerous,
Your footy teams have all been to the finals once!
DON’T LOSE YOUR THONG IN GEELONG by Ronan Redmond
There was once a man from Geelong,
Who wore out his size-10 thong.
His feet were bare,
But he didn’t care,
He walked all the way to Hong Kong.

1 CommentWoops!
There once was a poor ballerina
Whose blue tutu was often much cleaner
But she munched on a biscuit
A blunder to risk it
A Tim-Tam, a small misdemeanour.

1 CommentClowning Around
A clown with a cauliflower ear
Decided that he would appear
In a colander hat
With a cute climbing cat.
But the cat said
‘Not likely my dear.’

1 CommentThere once was a postie called Progge
Who had a most wonderful dog
It could carry more letters
Than fifteen red setters
And he never got lost in the fog!

Sioban says: I wrote this in primary school after we learnt about limericks – and for some reason I have always remembered it!
