When it comes to singing New Year
Grand celebrations on Mars appear
Scientists are holding a convention
Honoring a rare Martian invention
A waterless cake recipe- I hear!
A Waterless Cake (Limerick with syllable count)
Grand celebrations on Mars appear
Their scientists are singing New Year
And hold convention to
Honor an invention-
waterless cake recipe- I hear!
Dear poetess this is a great to write out another one successfully and it is your skill craftsmanship, deeds, thanks a lot for you polite recognition
i HAVE (i think) heard that there is no water on Mars (but ice does exist, according to scientists) , so that explains why waterless-cakes ARE made. but does Mars have eggs, milk, wheat flour, and CHOCOLATE, THE KEY INGREDIENTS needed to make MY CAKE? ? If not, I won’t be visited Mars anytime soon! I think they have sugar (from Mars’ sugar beets) and baking soda and baking powder (imported from Venus) . Bri ;)
i'm putting both into January showcase ASAP, but i'll put a note about the to in the newer version. bri :)
HO HO HO! Merry X-mas etc. Savita, i like BOTH VERSIONS, but the second is much more 'limerick-like'. however, i want to see to moved down to the fourth line in the new version! ! ha ha. to MyPoemList and NOW i'll have to make room for both versions in the January showcase! ! ! bri :) thanks, Valsa-child, for supporting syllable count. hee-hee. as for making the poem bawdy, i too might have trouble doing it, BUT.............i might try! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Extremely well written! I agree with poets' comments below! Enjoyed the fun! ! Thanks dear madam for sharing! !
This is a fine limerick, Savita. But I agree with what Bri has written! I too never used to care for the syllable count, but it was Bri who insisted that I should stick to the pattern! Thanks to Bri... now I am careful! You can also follow his advice!
