There was a young lady of Lynn,
Who was so uncommonly thin
That when she essayed
To drink lemonade
She slipped through the straw and fell in.
I have an unhealthly love of lymmericks. I like the humor and the rhythm. In this one, the use of the "essayed" is a little unusual--what do you think? What's your favorite lymmerick? Here is one I wrote:
Eye was struck buy lightning last knight
Sew know won can reed what eye right.
It is this weigh
Four my spelling's changed
Tell me if eye'm wrong oar knot write!

Hey Mr.P- That's pretty funny! I like the punchline. The punchline is funny because you're a spelling teacher. Remember, eye'm commenting on the poem that you wrote. I didn't know you loved limericks(by the way you spelled limericks wrong in your little pep talk there, but once I read the poem, I started to think you might've did it on porpoise.). If I had known that, I would've had a better reason to reed Billy and Willy before spring brake.

Here is my family's contribution in honor of this crazy weather! - Kieran
The trees in the wind are a-blowin',
Its April and golly its snowin',
We're huddled inside,
Trying hard to decide,
If we should be sleddin' or mowin'!
