Room 18's blog

We had lots of fun looking at Limericks and then trying to write our own and making sure we referred to a body part somewhere in the limerick! It wasn't always easy getting the 8 syllables for lines 1,2 and 5; and 5 or 6 syllables for lines 3 and 4. We managed it in most cases,though! Enjoy and have a giggle!

There once was a small boy called Bee
Who really hurt his small clean knee
He fell off his bike
Got a very big fright
Causing the end of his pet Flee. (Room 18 friend)

There once was a boy called Deal
Who had a really big meal
He fell on his head
Then went straight to bed
Oh that very poor boy called Deal. (Z.S )



There once was a boy with a brain
Who acted like he was insane
One day he turned red
And thought himself dead
That boy is now alive back in bed. (H.W)



There once was a boy called Sidney
Who had an enormous kidney
One day it fell apart
And then broke his heart
That very poor boy called Sidney. (M.L and B.B)

There once was a good man called Sain
Who lived in a big candy cane
He had a big brain
Then he went insane
And that was the end of poor Sain. (M.L and B.B)


There once was a big fat tummy
One day he felt really funny
Oh, that butterfly
That was in his pie
Made a chrysalis in his tummy. (BM)


There once was a person called Bill
Who liked to sleep on a steep hill.
After he poked his eye
He started to fly
Then old Bill had to take a pill. (F.B-H and T.H)



There once was a glow-worm called Joe
Oh he wished he had a big toe.
He fell into a trap
And saw a big map
Then he found himself in the snow.
(T.H and F.B-H )


There was a snake called Karate
Who always loved a good party,
His radio broke
His hair started to smoke
Oh poor old brainless Karate. (H.O and E.P)

There once was a crab named Bob
Who liked to eat juicy corn-cob
But one strange weird day,
His tongue blew away
And now he can’t eat his corn-cob. (H.O)

There was a young boy named Crane
Who travelled to the human brain
He bumped his toe
And yelled oh-no
And that was the end of young Crane. (G.T)

There once was a boy named Dimple
Who had a great grey weird pimple!
But then one sad day
His pointy nose went grey
That very poor wrinkled Dimple. (K.G)


There once was a friendly boy called Joe
Who had a lot of fun with a bow
He had only one eye
Covered in meat pie
Oh that poor little boy that's so slow. (T.N)


There was once a bright girl named Jane
Who broke her leg and cried in pain
One day there was a crow
Who sadly bit her toe
That’s toeless Jane with a big brain. (NM)



There once was a man named Pierre
Who had a big fat ugly ear
He had so much gear
to catch a speedy deer
that he needed trucks for his gear. (A.M)




There was once a young black kitten
Who loved to sleep in a mitten
She slept for a day
But then ran away
Please come back little black kitten! (E.P)
