@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbtThere was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And Haikus confused.
@usmu@kind.socialThere once was a poet from the Isle of Wight
Who had this great idea one night
He said you know what I'll do?
I'll write a haiku
But he didn't get it quite right.
@Natasha_Jay good work.
I once tried to write
a haiku, but enjambment
ruined it right through!
So a limerick was
writ'n, that it would all fit'n — one
poem then became two!
@sam @Natasha_Jay Brilliant!
@Natasha_Jay @mathias you win today. Was his name The or was it “There was…” ?
they had us in the first half
Oh there once was a
Limerick from Peru that
Turned into haiku.
@Natasha_Jay An oldie but still unsurpassed:
There was a young man
From Peru, whose lim’ricks all
Looked like haiku. He
Said with a laugh, “I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two!”
Masaoka Shiki from Japan
Was a very peculiar man
He tried Limericks for years
But he only got red ears:
Oh well, I write a Haiku then.
@Natasha_Jay
It is tricky to
Rock a rhyme, but haiku is
Even trickier
A thing of beauty, thank you!
