For all you aspiring limericists out there... are you ready to take the limerick challenge? I'll give you the first line and you complete the poem.
It doesn't have to be professional, but it does have to be clean to make it on the blog.
Here's your first line:
A spunky young woman named Jill

A spunky young woman named Jill
Fell in love with a cowboy named Bill.
But being a mermaid
Her romance was waylaid
When her kisses all tasted like krill.
A spunky young woman named Jill
tried to learn to dance the quadrille.
She whooped and she hollered;
like a pig she did waller.
But, alas, her solo was nil.

A spunky young woman named Jill -
(Let's settle this "thing on the hill")
Well, she scratched and she hitted,
'Till he finally admitted
The water was down at the mill.
This spunky adventurer, Jill,
Hiked a glacier to search for a thrill.
She spied a blue pool
And bathed in this jewel!
What she got was goosebumps and a chill!
Too spunky to mind the crowd's clamor,
In her patented, confident manner,
Jill opened her throat
And trilled the high note,
As she warbled the Star Spangled Banner.
Uncommonly brave is young Jill.
The Reubens she orders could kill.
Kraut, onion, and chard,
Hot pepper, mustard,
Horseradish and garlic and dill.
Dad,
There's no prize, not even for the most prolific writer! But I'm glad you're having fun!
A spunky young woman named Jill
loved pickles, both sweet ones and dill,
on burgers, on hot dogs,
and Stuckey's pecan logs,
and wondered how come she felt ill.
A spunky young woman named Jill
sang s'prano on stage in Nashville.
She sang about horses,
and cowboys' divorces,
in a voice that was horribly shrill.
I know, I know, but you tossed out a challenge....
So take up the gauntlet forthwith,
Choosing full of vigor and pith.
A haiku won't do it
(Our Jill would eschew it!)
Show your stuff in a limerick, Wordsmith!
A spunky young woman named Jill
Was storming the gates of Bastille.
She broke through head first
With such force in her burst
That she ended up in Brazil!
A spunky young woman named Jill
Forgot her allergy pill.
With pollen a blowin’
Her nasal was flowin’
With Kleenex the can she did fill.
There.
The unwashed story:
A spunky young woman named Jill
Chased Jack (such a knave!) up the hill.
At his head she did whale
With her new metal pail
Which she found catching drips at his still
Linda E.
A spunky young woman named Jill
Who couldn't stop eating her fill
She once ate a hat
That came from a rat
But sadly she got very ill
Eeewwwww!
