The Friday Fling Writes Irish Limericks!

Friday Fling #223 for March 15th 2013


St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, and one of our personal favorite formats is the Limerick, an Irish format poem of five lines in more or less 9-9-6-6-9 syllables and AABBA rhyme, usually with a punchline at the end which makes a joke or a telling point.

Any topic about Irish culture is suggested!

This week the Friday Fling fetes the Irish Limerick!

Be sure to save time to read and comment like an old sod, on your fellow Pals’ Paddy poetry. Then go find your own pot o’ gold on this St. Partick’s Day weekend!

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for  March 8th

Congratulations Michelle!

    Always fun to read them but I absolutely can’t write Limericks though Irish on both sides. I’ll stop back to read. Congratulations to Michelle! :love: :love: :love:

    Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s Irish Limerickfest! Sorry I’m a bit late coming to the party, my wife and I went out for seafood and then the movie Oz, only offered in 3-D at the time we showed up. Highly recommended!

    Our poetry party runs through tomorrow evening, when the Share posts. Please do pull up a shamrock and try your hand at this timeless poetry format, while exressing yourself on something Irish-ish! 😀

    Hi Bob and all the CPC crew. I figured you guys would be up to something special today, so I just had to drop in. Sorry I haven’t been around much, but that should change after April 15th …

    Hope you have lots o’chuckles today!

    This Friday I’ll fen with the laddies
    We’ll revel and toast to St. Patty
    We’ll pour a big jug
    And give it a chug
    In Denver they’ll roll up a fatty!

    A Cat’s Salad

    ~~

    I know of a cat that eats green trolls
    They tastes similar to mice and moles
    Adding greens to his lunch
    And he eats a whole bunch
    Gulp, gulp, gone are little green lost souls

    First one here and last one here. About as much of and as close to a limerick I’ve ever been able to muster . . . . Hoping everyone had a wonderful St. Patty’s Day. Top of a Monday to All . . . . Cheers!

    A LIMERICK LIMERICK

    There’s a really funny poet named Lear
    whose limericks I do love to hear;
    I can’t write them much
    for I don’t have the touch,
    so away from the rhyming I steer.
