2--dah-dit-dit-dah-dit-dit-dah-dit

3--dah-dit-dit-dah-dit

----------------------------------
lines 1,2,5 rhyme a
lines 3,4 rhyme b
----------------------------------
Therefore: the following example...

dah-dit-dit-dah-dit-dit-dah-dit
A lep re chaun wearin' the green

dah-dit-dit-dah-dit-dit-dah-dit
He worked a green money machine

dah-dit-dit-dah-dit
He sat down to rue

dah-dit-dit-dah-dit
He dropped in some blue

dah-dit-dit-dah-dit-dit-dah-dit
The dough came out aquamarine

------------------------------

A leprechaun wearin' the green
He worked a green money machine
He sat down to rue
He dropped in some blue
The dough came out aquamarine

-------------------------------

The above is a perfect limerick. Sometimes, the author
makes them a wee bit racy..but, after all, we are a
family oriented site...

------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOUR LIMERIC DOESN'T CONFORM, IT IS NOT A PERFECT LIMERIC

I don't quite understand the "dah dit dit" rhyming...
----------------------------
A teacher is trying to teach
How to perfectly cut a peach
His finger he cut
Nevertheless but
Only by preach can teachers teach.

Dear Norm,
If I didn't know how honest you could "git'
I'd say you copied my Miss or near Hit.
Cause in it,
I put twit,
and then added dim wit,
And then the cat didn't sit
but sat on the kit.....
I know my limeric here doesn 't conform.
But shucks durn, I atleast tried Norm!
Do I get an "E" for A near hit?
Thank you good teacher, I now know how to do a lemerick!!
no name necessary
I think you all know *smiles*
P.S. You didn't by any chance have the same
piano teach I had did you?
