Limericks

A limerick is a five line humerous verse with a rigid metre and rhyming scheme. Limericks were popularised by Edward Lear in Victorian England.

I was never any good at poetry at school but I find that I can, with a bit of effort, produce a limerick to mark special occasions.

My Collection

Costa Blanca by Steve Cordery (August 2000)
Our 2000 holiday's in Spain,
Where its blue skies and no hint of rain.
We just laze in the sun,
Go and swim for some fun,
But mosquitos are really a pain.

World Cup Fever by Steve Cordery (10 June 1998)
All footballing thoughts turn to France.
Do England have much of a chance?
It won't be a doddle,
But with good work from Hoddle,
To the "semi"s I think they'll advance.

UK General Election 1997 by Steve Cordery (7 May 1997)
The Tories are out on their ears
After ruling for eighteen long years.
Their election campaign
Couldn't win it again
But confirmed all John Major's worst fears.

So now we have young Mister Blair,
Who seems like a breath of fresh air.
Although very keen,
It remains to be seen
How in power he'll actually fare.
