Limerick Lesson

Spencer had a lesson on writing Limericks today. Can you guess which limerick he wrote?

1. There once was a man named Jim,
who liked to live life on a whim.
He had so much fun,
said one day he was done,
Now his life is remarkably dim!

2. There once was a man from Bergeiling,
who got on the late bus to Eiling.
A sign on the door,
said don't spit on the floor.
So we jumped up and spat on the ceiling!

3. There once was a person named Sid,
who went to an auction to bid.
When the price got too high,
he said with a cry,
Good heaven, look what I did!

4. I once met a man in Pari
who walk right up and kissed me.
He breath was all fishy,
his lips wet and squishy.
Why, oh why did he have to kiss me!

I know, I know but I am not telling until everyone has had a chance to guess. Great job today, Son! This was so much fun! (hee- hee I am still in rhyming mode- can you tell?!)

Spencer, I love it! English was not my strong point in school so I don't know anything about writing poems, but I do like to read them if they are short.

OK, I am guessing #1 for Spencer...I know it wasn't #4 and I don't think he says Good Heavens and the other one has some weird sounding places, names,etc...so #1.

That is my detective work for today!
