There was a young lady of Niger, Who smiled when she rode on a tiger, They returned from the ride, With the lady inside, And a smile on the face of the tiger. Улыбались три смелых девицыНа спине у бенгальской тигрицы.Теперь же все три – У тигрицы внутри,А улыбка – на морде тигрицы. С.Я.

When you write a limerick, make sure that it has the same AABBA rhyme patern. Ideas for new limericks can come from almost anywere. For example, your town, country, or any name. Here are 5 simple steps to writing a limerick. 1.An easy way to get started is to pick a boy’s or a girl’s name that has one syllable (like Bill, Tim, Dick, Sue or Jill.)There was a Young Girl named____(pick an easy name with one sillable). We’ll pick “Jill”. So the first line is“There once was a Young Girl named Jill” 2. Now make a list of words that rhyme with the last word in the first line-in this case, Jill.Your list of rhyming words might include: hill, drill, pill, dill, will, ill. 3. Now wrie the second line. Here’s an example:“Who feared the sight of a drill.” 4.Now think of an interesting story. What could happened to someone skared of a drill? You might have an interesting story if Jill had to go to the dentist. So the third and fourth lines can be: “She brushed every day” “So, her dentist would say” Now you need to back to the first line and end the poem. Here’s an example: “Your teeth are quite perfekt, Young Jill” Here’s the poem we just wrote: There once was a Young Girl named Jill, Who was feared the sight of a drill. She brushed every day So the denist would say: “Your teeth are so perfect, Young Jill!” There once came feeling called love,And it sweetly touched my heartI felt like an angelAnd didn’t think of a danger.I wish you all know this love!
