St. Patrick's Day Limricks by Ms. Hailey's Class

One of the ways that our class celebrated St. Patrick’s Day this week was to write limericks. A limerick is a kind of a witty, humorous, or nonsense poem, one in five-line amphibrachic meter. Limericks follow a strict rhyme scheme. Here is what the kids wrote:

Misread by Conor Mendenhall

There was boy who was misread
His days and nights were filled with dread
Until he saw a lassie
Who wasn’t too classy
Together they made their homestead.


Lazy Cop by Amanda Kahuna
There was a cop who lived on top
Of the shop that had a big drop
He was so crazy
He really was lazy
And flopped on top of the big glop.
The leprechaun cop and badge.

Dog by Caden Koranda
There was a skinny, furry dog
Who found a pot filled with bog
He licked ‘til he saw gold
In a big black fold
He sat very rich on a log


Rock the Jock by Cameron Cook
There was a rock whose name was Jock
Who lived on the dock with a hawk
It is really dark
The dogs always bark
Those darn dogs will die on the dock.


Leprechaun from Sean by Carter Koranda

There was a leprechaun from Sean
He once love Hong Kong’s leprechaun
They met in Hong Kong
And once played ping-pong
He loved to play and mow its lawn.


Fernando by Bailey Keller
There was a man named Fernando
He really likes island Hondo
He liked Kong Fu
He said trains choo, choo
He liked his fiend Armando.
