I can still remember English Class… getting an entire lesson in the poetry section devoted to Limmericks. I also remember my favourite becuaause it was so ingenious…
There was an old man from Nantucket,
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
He had a daughter named Nan,
but she ran away with a man.
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
I loved that one and remember repeating it to everyone I met after that… as most kids do, some things never change :)
So what was your favourite Limmerick? or Haiku even… pick your poetic structure, just tell me. I love language and ingenuity.
And here’s a modern one you might not get, but its pretty cool.
