Limericks

The children have been listening to limericks.  The children learned that a limerick is a five line poem that is funny.  Lines one, two and five rhyme with each other and lines three and four also rhyme with each other.  We learned, wrote and illustrated an Irish themed limerick.  Limerick is also the name of a place in Ireland. We also learned another limerick:

There was a man called Jim,

Who wanted to go for a swim,

He jumped in the pool,

And felt such a fool,

Because there was no water in!
