When two people are thrown together
                    Limerick
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When two people are thrown together
Cloud indicates some stormy weather
Man and a woman
Are only human.
The friendship could last now forever.

So the streets are paved with silly rhymes

So the streets are paved with silly rhymes?
It ain’t my fault , these are such hard times
Not since the thirties.
Poets were *****
One cannot see the filth for the grime

The limerick.
Is an Irish rhyme from the 18th Century’s
When the Irish was fighting in France  for the English. It consists of five lines.
With a syllable pattern of 9,9.5,5,9.
With a rhyming pattern.  a,a,b,b,a.

An example.

There is a young lady in Dallas,
Who remarkably lives in a palace.
Inspired she is.
To drink lemon fizz.
With her Muse an able accomplice

Sea Eagles. A limerick

Some Sea Eagles that I know nearby
Backwards and forwards these birds do fly
Their nests in a tree
And so close to me.
The wonders of nature so  defined.

There once was a Mum on a train
her teen was becoming a pain
She patted her hair
and said “ Oh there, there”
and smiled though her patience did wane.
Ready for home now!!

There once was a boring train ride
my teen simply couldn’t abide
she had a wee tanty
and twisted her *******
in a minute I might tan her hide
The train ride home after a big day out

There once was a bone weary teen
whose muscles were starting to scream
she was having a sook
‘bout the miles undertook
but grinned with memories of icecream.
Summer vacation with the kids
