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
A 2nd line
B 3rd line
B 4th lineA 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!'
IRISH JIG!!!
The Jig is a form of folk dance, as well as the accompanying dance tune. It originating in England in the sixteenth century, and today most associated with Irish and Scottish Country Dancing Music. Jigs were originally in 2/4 time, but have been adapted to a variety of time signatures, by which they are often classified into groups, including, light jigs, slip jigs, single jigs and treble jigs.
1.Point your right toe out in front of you. It should be straight out from your knee.
2.Step your right foot and bring your left foot together behind it. This is the "one-two"
3.Move your toe up to your left knee and give a little hop.
4.Swing your right leg back so you are standing like a flamingo. Hop in place on your left foot.
5.Put your right foot on the floor behind your left foot.
6.Take three little steps in place behind you, starting with your left foot.
7.Repeat two times, all starting with your right foot in front.

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.
