A Limerick written for Week 22 for Poetic Explorations.
There once was a young dandy named Beau
Couldn't wait to show off his chapeau,
With a long, flowing plume,
And the smell of perfume,
A display more befitting a trousseau.
Author's Notes:
A Limerick is a rhymed humorous or nonsense poem of five lines which originated in Limerick, Ireland. The Limerick has a set rhyme scheme of : a-a-b-b-a with a syllable structure of: 9-9-6-6-9.
I added the word 'more' to the final line thus adding an extra syllable--I thought it flowed better. Read it aloud; I think you'll agree.
