Fun with Limericks :)

The Life of a Wizard
By: Miss Weiss

There once was a good wizard named Harry
Who was attacked by Dementors, scary!His enemy Voldemort
His best friend Ron helped him thwart
And now Hogwarts is happy and merry!!

Then to school at Hogwarts he went
Where his happiest days were spent
Different spells were learnt
And potions were burnt
And he found out what friendship meant

A limerick is often humorous or nonsensical, but they can also be serious. They are most often written about a person or character. The purpose is to tell a short story. The characteristics of a limerick are as follows:

  • must have 5 lines
  • has an AABBA rhyming pattern (the A's rhyme and the B's rhyme)
  • has an AABBA syllable pattern
  • the B lines contain less syllables then A lines

Assignment: Take the Disney card given out in class and write your own 2 verse limerick about that character. Be sure to follow all the rules of a limerick. Be creative and have fun!!
