LIMERICKS!!!

The form of poetry referred to as Limerick poems have received incredibly bad press and dismissed as not having a rightful place. A Limerick as a poetry form is by nature simple and short - limericks only have five lines. They are formed like this (AA) the first two lines rhyme. (BB) the second two line rhyme together. The third line (A) rhymes with the first two lines.

This is how it would be set up but without words.

A 1st line
A 2nd line

B 3rd line

B 4th line

A 5th line

Here Is An Example

There was an Old Man in a tree,

Who was horribly bored by a Bee;

When they said, 'Does it buzz?'

He replied, 'Yes, it does!''

It's a regular brute of a Bee!'

The Blarney Stone!!!

The Blarney Stone is five miles north west of the small city of Cork is the village of Blarney. Near the village, standing almost 90 feet in height is the castle of Blarney with its world-famous Blarney Stone. More than 300,000 people come to kiss the Blarney Stone each year, in the hopes of gaining more eloquent speech. Kissing the Blarney Stone is for some people a difficult physical feat. In past times, to kiss the Stone people were hung by their heels over the edge of the parapet. One day a pilgrim broke from the grasp of his friends and went hurtling downward to certain death. Since that time the stone has been kissed by another method. First, you sit with your back towards the stone and then someone sits upon your legs or firmly holds your feet. Next, leaning far back and downward into the abyss while grasping the iron rails, you lower yourself until your head is even with the stone to be kissed. Just how long this practice has been practiced or how it was originated is still unknown. One local legend claims that an old women, saved from drowning by a king of Muster, rewarded him with a spell, that if he kissed a stone on the castles top he would gain a speech that would give him it all.
