Limericks

On Monday, 17th March 2014, we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in the Middle School by writing limericks and tasting Irish Soda Bread.

The Race

There was a man who loved to run

A hare told him, “Let’s have some fun.”

They began to race

It was a ten mile space

The man lost and shot hare with a gun.

Here Doggy!

A furry dog with a long tai

When it wanted to scratch it would wail

With a long chorus

Besides a lotus

But then, it’s just a fairy tale!

Water Limerick

A smart man who liked to drink water

Said, “I find it with nary a bother.

There’s no sugar inside

And no fizz does it hide,

But with soap it makes wonderful lather.”

By:  Cyrian Kedowide, Yr. 6 & Mrs. Carsky
