LET'S CREATE TOGETHER!

 

In this crazy lonely world at the moment, along with keeping safe and well, I think we also need to keep creative, communicate with others, and retain our sense of humour. So here's a little quick way to keep our minds active and have some fun together, albeit remotely. 

​

Each day, in the COVID 19 LIMERICK FACEBOOK GROUP, I'll write the opening two lines of a limerick about our current craziness, and then over to you to write the remaining three lines of the limerick in a comment.

​

Today's LIMERICK STARTER (30/3/20):

​

The ways to keep boredom at bay,

Are increasingly weirder each day.

​

(over to you....)

​

 The one with the most 'likes' by 11pm wins!

​

Be safe,

love Neil x

​

​

If you don't know what a limerick is, it's five lines, with lines 1, 2 and 5 ending with the same rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 ending with the same rhyme.

 

The rhythm is:

de dum-pe-ty dum-pe-ty dum
de dum-pe-ty dum-pe-ty dum
de dum-pe-ty dum
de dum-pe-ty dum
de dum-pe-ty dum-pe-ty dum

​

with the final line being the punch line.

​

So....an example;

​

The was an old fellow named Gus
When travelling he made such fuss
He was banned from the train.
Not allowed on a plane.
And now travels only by bus.
