Booker's Seven Basic Plots in Limerick Form
Overcoming the Monster

The Dragon was coming to town
And Dan knew what was going down
He got a wonderful knife
to end the Dragon's life
So Danny won the crown

Rags to Riches

Miss Ella was scrubbing the hearth
As she had done at her birth
Then a beautiful fairy
Made her outfit less scary
And Ella found her self-worth

The Quest

The Lion needed a Ring
That would help make him king
With his friends the Wild Dog
The Fox and Warthog
They set out to find the enchanted thing

Voyage and Return

Alice went for a walk
Found a town where Animals could talk!
A big toothy grin
Invited her in
But Alice ran away from the Croc!

Comedy Booker's definition not the modern one

The Dog loved the Cat
But he was stopped by the Rat
Dog was helped by the Dove
To win the Cat's love
And Rat just yelled 'Drat!'

Tragedy

The Unicorn King wanted law
To not be of red tooth and claw
He took all the Knaves
And made them his slaves
He soon became what he saw


Rebirth

But here is how King Unicorn
Came to be Reborn
He was pulled out of the Dark
By Miss Meadowlark
When he was old and worn
