Fred the Elf

This is a limerick for St. Patty's Day!

There once was an elf named Fred,

who was so shy he always turned red.

So on March seventeen,

he painted himself green!

Now Fred!  That's using your head!

Author's Note

I entered this in a limerick contest in 6th grade and won. I was over-the-top excited to be the winner!
I love limericks; there are quite a few clever ones out there!

Heh-heh, this is great. Even greater that you wrote it in the sixth grade and was so deservingly rewarded for it. I wrote stuff in the 6th grade, too, but it's long gone.

So cute, Claire! I don't know much about limericks but this one is cool. I think you deserve the award. Is it too late to congratulate you? :)

Very nice Claire. I am Irish and this was fun read. Donw here in San Antonio they dye the river green for St. Patrick's Day.

A cute poem and well constructed, especially knowing you write it when you were in 6th grade. ;) My Irish family would get a kick out of it.
