I'm doing my best but aren't a poet! Have looked up the definition.

"The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables."

[jim palmer]

How about this, not quite standard:

 

The Muso invented a program

It was coded in C plus and Python.

When seen by his Prof.

He said "very smart stuff

If it works you will get a promotion".

Our Jim, who's the pride of the Palmers

Writes Limericks in his pyjamas

One thing at a time,

Lesson two: make 'em rhyme,

Or they'll sound a bit wrong, just like this one.

[jim palmer]

I obviously need to practice more!

[fsharpminor]

Now we need another for LInda.  Come on someone else join in !

[Latin pianist]

She teaches the piano and theory.
Of this Linda never grows weary.
She staged Noye's fludde
I heard it was good
And it left all the audience cheery.

[DaisyChain]

Latin P teach me to sing in old Latin
For my sound resembles a cat in

So much distress

That I think it is best
For now that I just throw my hat in.

[Latin pianist]

Wondered what would rhyme with Latin!

Oh luck, like the moon, is in phases

As Orff once wrote (he amazes)

If all strife stayed in song

We'd get much better along

And the only Chains would be Daisies

[Norway]

The harvest at last was gathered in,

And with it a Harvest Mouse.

The Dozy Hen cackled with glee

And invited it into the house.

 

"An eight octave Steinway piano

Will do very well for a nest

Of wood chips, eggshells and piano felt.

We birds always know what is best"

Love the chicken poem Jim!  

[jim palmer]

thanks, it should be in limerick form, hard to fit!

 

The Harvest at last was concluded.

A brown Harvest Mouse was included.

The Dozy Hen cackled,

The kitchen fire crackled,

The moon made them very deluded.

 

"A piano with ninety-six keysers

Will make a good nest for we geysers"

Sang Mousie to  Henny

"It won't cost a penny

With piano felt made it is breezers"

[jim palmer]

thanks.

it's very| good practice| to try out| new language|

While sitting| in cafe| with coffee| and sandwich!||

[Norway]

There was a violist called Jim,

Whose driving was somewhat reined in,

Red lights he'd neglect,

But in Soho's district,

That is very commendable Jim!

[jim palmer]

@ Norway- Ha Ha!

Trafalgar Square driving at night

Can give any driver a fright.

When dodging a bus

There's no time to fuss

Over whether you passed a red light!

[Misterioso]

Oh Jim, Jim....... [shakes head sadly].

 

There are always consequences......

 

The police car's all whistles and bells,

When he catches Jim, and at him yells:

"A red light you jumped,

And our car you have bumped,

So we're taking you off to the cells!"
