Re: Limerick (Part 4)

Her Majesty went for a swim
In a cozzie that was pretty prim
As she emerged from the waves
Surrounded by knaves
And a husband who seemed pretty dim.

But slipped on some discarded kelp



Could we end lines with words that have at least a few rhyming words ( please) 👍

Can't finish this one, sorry.

Sorry, will not attempt to play this game. I didn't realize there were so many rules.

Sorry if my comment upset anyone but it’s not a question of rules, it’s just that it makes things easier if you can make the end words rhyme.
A limerick is essentially composed of five lines of approximately 8 syllables for the first two and last lines
And approximately 5 for the middle two.

These rhymes strictly speaking are doggerel rather than limericks. Perhaps a new thread with a different title or get admin to change the name of this one?
