A limerick is a funny, irreverent five-line poem in which the first, second and fifth lines rhyme and the third and fourth lines rhyme. Popularized in the 1800s, it gets its name from the County of Limerick in Ireland. Patrons in pubs often competed to create the best limericks while drinking whiskey and beer.
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel came up with these limericks for you –
Surfer Dave
There once was a surfer named Dave,
Who went looking for the perfect wave.
But, just when he found a winner,
A whale ate him for dinner.
And Dave’s surfboard was all they could save.
Lotion Commotion
There was a young lady who went to the ocean.
She sat on the sand and put on her sun lotion.
But, her yellow bikini
Was incredibly teeny
And this caused a major commotion.
Surfer Girl
There once was a surfer girl named Jasmine.
Like a magnet, she attracted all the men.
When she went out to compete
In any surfing meets
It’s so crazy how she always would win.
Rude Dude
There once was an arrogant surfer dude,
Who would hog all the waves and act rude.
He’d steal waves away,
Keeping the angry surfers at bay,
Until they realigned his attitude.
Surfing Leprechaun
There once was a cool, surfing leprechaun,
Who amazed everyone with what he’d done.
He’d do toes on the nose,
Hang ten…and there he goes
With his mug of green beer having fun!
Fish Wish
There was this glittering, magical fish,
Who could grant you your own special wish.
When a fisherman found her
He asked the great flounder,
“For a pair of dry boots that don’t squish.”
Beulah’s Hula
There was a shapely lady named Beulah,
Who could really shake up the hula.
The men would all gather
And get into a lather
And Beulah would rake in the moola.
Irish Isles
In the mossy, green isle of Ireland
St. Patrick’s Day is especially grand.
All decked out in hula skirts,
Basking in the sun without shirts…
Oh no, this is the wrong island!
Irish Good Luck Sayings
May good luck be your friend in whatever you do
And may trouble be always a stranger to you.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
