What is a limerick?
Limericks are funny Irish poems with 5 lines, each one a certain number of syllables:
8 syllables
8 syllables
5 syllables
5 syllables
8 syllables
The lines that are 8 syllables rhyme with each other, and the lines that are 5 syllables rhyme with each other.
Here’s an example (author unknown):
There once was a man from Peru
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe.
He woke in the night
With a terrible fright
To find it was perfectly true.

You might notice in this one the pattern goes 8, 8, 5, 6, 8 instead of the standard 8, 8, 5, 5, 8. Poets sometimes take creative license, and you can too as long as only one line is off the correct syllable count.
The rules:
Write your own original limerick(s) that is somehow related to fantasy. It could be about any mythical creature, character, place, etcetera.
Post your entry/entries in this thread by St. Patrick’s Day, Wednesday, the 17th of March. You may edit your entry/entries as often as you wish before that date.
You may enter as many limericks as you want as long as each one is posted separately. However, you will only receive 5 points for your first entry. Having more than one entry only increases your chances of winning the prize; it does not grant you more points.
Label your post(s) with a number. If you are posting the first entry, then put a 1 above your poem. If you’re posting the fifth entry, then put a 5 above your poem. Etcetera. If you have more than one entry, then they should have different numbers.
The Winner:
I will roll dice in this thread to determine the winner a day or two after the 17th. (That’s why all of the entries must have different numbers. wink )
The winner will receive an extra 10 points and 2,000 gold.
