Limerick-3

An attempt to make you laugh!

There once was a man who had no hair

He feared from heat he could not bear

with the sun on his head

He can bake eggs and bread,

Which he promised some day he would share.

Dear Devanshu,

Well it did make me laugh! Well done Limerick. Content was good, rhyming was good......syllables a litte out but that's ok, you made a mighty effort here my friend! A very worthy contest submission, thank you so much for joining in!

For the edification of others who are not sure what the format is, here is the form requirements for limericks.

A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines.

The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables
while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm.

The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables,
and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.

It all sounds very complicated but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailling!

Devanshu: I enjoyed it....I did laugh and you present a great visual. Don't know if I'd want to eat the eggs or bread. Thought about cave men and lack of fire: Think they had too much hair. Don't even know the style or format for a limerick. Great work and please keep writing. Thank you...Dale

This is definitely interesting. I've never written a limerick (not sure how to/what the format is), but I enjoy the picture that was created with what you have here. Nice work, thank you for sharing :)
