Poem for Dougwe


There once was a feller called Doug,

Who used to drink tea from a mug,

On the day the mug broke,

He said thats oke, I will now drink my tea from a jug.

Happy days mate!!!!

Almost a Limerick  ...  but a line short - you got the aa right but then ???  aaba?

limerick (/lmrk/[1]) is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic[2] meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.[

Hang on .. my mistake .. try this ... (& predomininantly anapestic)

He said that's oke,

How's that .. 5 lines aabba

 

Well done ..  love it

edit .. I just brought a book of limericks from  bush poet Gregory North at Winton

Here's one that he says he uses in his evening bush poets sessions at Winton.  This one is having a go at Victorians ...

Now it says on each number plate

"Education State"! Hang on, now, wait.

   Are you saying you're smart

   just 'cause every old fart

during winter's away interstate

Happy days back at ya, both.

Yep Cupie, I get it, should have been five lines. I have an old book of limericks, 95% of them could not be printed here but they are very funny!!!!

DMaxer you get an "honourable mention".

No drama, I can take it, as I am a big bloke and sometimes a bit of fun is missed around here blankstare

BigD is that a hug? Or a huggle? You also forgot I play around with weights and measures too hmm
