A Flop
Baby boy knew how to be loud.
His cry was far above the crowd.
Mother was a flop
at making him stop.
So she joined him and cried aloud.
Bettyâs Girl
Betty was a big teddy bear.
She lived with a girl with red hair.
They danced round and round
till Betty fell down.
Then Bettyâs girl left her right there!
Blub-Blub
Before I knew it, he jumped in.
The water was up past his chin.
He then said âblub-blubâ
and sank like a sub.
Then, to my chagrin, I jumped in!
Busy Brain
My busy brain won't let me sleep,
so I count some fluffy white sheep.
The noise that they make
keeps me wide awake.
And my busy brain shouts âbleat bleat!â
Canât-be-One
When Iâm writing a poem today,
Iâll be most careful what to say
because if Iâm not
Iâll find that Iâve got
a âcanât-be-oneâ to throw away!
Fiddlinâ
Frankie loved to fiddle round town.
He was great till it made a sound.
It would make a squeak,
followed by a shriek.
No fiddlinâ ability found!
Front of the Line
The front of the line I need Now!
Why are you ahead anyHow?
I want badly to rush
but Iâd be quite crushed.
So, Iâll kinda-sorta slow down!
A limerick is defined as a humorous, frequently rude, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba. You may have heard, 'There once was a man from Nantucket...' Well, Lesli Johnson tries her hand at these funny little verses and hits the ball outta the park. It seemed like a lot were about falling down, or maybe that is just the ones that I related to the most. If you're looking for something humorous and will give you a big laugh or maybe just a chuckle and is a quick read, I can't recommend anything more than Lots Limericks. It's very short, a very quick read and very entertaining. Each limerick is also written in a different font within the book which adds another layer of "whimsy". Limericks are in alphabetical order, so go in order or use the Table of Contents to pick one that's title seems to match your mood. You can't go wrong, no matter how you choose!
I love that this is such a quick read, but if you're looking for a quick pick me up each morning (or evening!) you can easily just read one a day until you finish the book! It'll keep you entertained for a couple of months that way!
