The poor children of Gin
were so incredibly thin
but the found a bite
that tasted alright
so now they had something for din

Some people went to the bank
to see the ships which sank
but they fell in
I put on a grin
And they don't ever come back

The paper boats I had
were so enormous and bad
so I punched a hole
the size of a mole
and the water fell out - so sad

I once hit a girl in the eye
She fell down the stairs and cried
I said I was sorry
that she had a doosie
but I was laughing on the inside

This is the last of the fun
I can't believe I'm done
There will be more soon
This I promise you
Now watch the setting of the sun

This piece is dedicated to my English B teacher, Ms. F. M-R, who taught us lots of poetry and made me experience what a limerick was. Thanks!

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
