Man and the Sage! (Limerick)

There was a man so fed up of his nagging wife

Once day he decided to take an expert advice

He met a sage wandering alone

Asked him how to fathom women

Sage said ‘Clueless I’m too, that’s why this life’!

A limerick is a five line style of poetry, with a strict rhyme scheme AABBA which generally has a humorous intent. The first, second and fifth lines are usually longer than the third and fourth.

Limericks

Once a snob woman got a new phone

The machine was put, sans any tone

A man arrived in the evening

She bragged into it, for his listening

Laughed he “Maam! I’m sent to connect that one!”

There was a plump woman who wore much gold

And hid far more within many a dress fold

Her man when asked his trade

Said two shops he had,

And a jewel mart, catching her hold!

A 'limerick' is a style of poetry, with five lines and a strict rhyme scheme AABBA. These poems generally have a humorous intent. The first, second and fifth lines are usually longer than the third and fourth.

  Once an old lady had a chubby tom cat

It slept all day curled up on a mat

At work, lazily it groaned

When nudged, it moaned

And would cry ‘just last year I killed a rat!’

  

There lived a woman who loved craft

In cutting, her hands were too deft

Once, she folded papers in style

‘Ohhh! That was my office file’

Cried her man! Banging on her head, a shaft!
