Limerick Poems

 The latest poem suggestion for our poetry group was to write a limerick. It has a definite rhythm and rhyme (structure) and usually funny. 5 lines with a specific number or syllables in each line ex: 9, 9, 5, 5, 9. Here's what I just came up with so far: 

I was running the race at good speed.

I could clearly see who was the lead. 

Then, unlike before

My legs got so sore.

Now it's rest and pain meds that I need

Here's another one about one mayor who can never be opposed. 

Our mayor was running our great town.

He tried to shut his opponents down.

But we became wise,

And saw through his lies.

Our mayor is really a great clown.
