Limericks on a Friday

Two Limericks just because.

The Sandman stored his dust that day

When the harvest moon came out to play.

So, we gathered around

To that guitar sound

And sang our blues away.

They say it's April fool's day

And to me that sounds OK

Until the prank is my yoke

And I'm the brunt of the joke

Then I do not want to play.

Cheerio back to you and thanks for the visit.

[light and ashes]

I really love the first one.

[JE Falcon]

One out of two isn't bad. --- Thanks.

[light and ashes]

Cute little write. Some of us only laugh when it's at the expense of others. I guess maybe that is the difference between the immature and the mature.

[JE Falcon]

You may be right, and thanks for the visit.

[light and ashes]

Maybe, you're welcome.

[Gee]

Is the set form for a limericks 8/8/5/5/8 ?
Anyways, enjoyed the above regardless

[JE Falcon]

I think you are thinking "Hauku & Senryu" 5-7-5
Limericks, like all poetic forms, have a set of rules that you need to follow. The rules for a limerick are fairly simple:
They are five lines long.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with one another.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other.
They have a distinctive rhythm
They are usually funny.

Thank you..

[JE Falcon]

Not a problem. :)

Nicely written, thank you. Our world needs to gather together a lot more and unwind with a singsong.

[JE Falcon]

Thanks, and thanks for the comments. Have a great day.

all the way to morning...
no April Fools here...just a perfect jam session and poem to describe it.

Yes, and thanks, Jacob. I tried to get morning in there, but it would have spoiled the Limerick.
