Lany and Dany went fishing one day
Followed by Bamby all the winding way
On seeing a wild hare
Bamby started to tear
Fishing ended in chasing dog all day.

Limerick 2
One day on their way to their granny's house
Lany and Dany found a tiny mouse
They chased it to catch
For a gift to patch
A quarrel with Tom who stayed near their house.

A Post a day - Limerick
Limerick
Yeah, it is really funny how I came out of my lethargy and plop I have fallen in love with Limerick. I can't predict how long it is going to last but I shall go on till it lasts. And so a limerick a day I promise myself now.
Not an innately humorous person I think I have to learn to be funny to tickle others to laughter. So following the foot step of Edward Lear, a master at Limericks I am going to tell stories only now, about two toddlers - Lany and Dany in my limericks.
For the lay men a Limerick is a poem with 5 lines rhyming aabba with the first two and fifth line having 7 to !0 syllables and the third and fourth with 5-7 syllables.
An example from Edward Lear:
" There was an old man with a beard
Who said it is just as I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren,
Have all built their nest in my beard."
The nursery rhymes "Hickory Dickory Dock", "Little Miss Muffet", "Mary had a Little Lamb" are all examples of Limerick.
MY FIRST LIMERICK
The Two Little Guys
The two little guys Lany and Dany
Went walking to see their granny
Plucking a bloom here
Chasing a fly there
And greeted granny with a wee bunny.
