Write a Limerick

Painfully Aware
When I was a kid, we used to write our own limericks, usually to make fun of each other. Here's a chance for all you frustrated writers to spread you literary wings. This could turn out to be an epic failure, but maybe not.

Definition:
noun, Grammar.
1.
A kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet.



My entry:

There once was a girl from Brazil
whose husband had built her a still
She threw in some fruit
and then had a toot
and passed out when she had her fill.
 
Very nice idea, but much too difficult for me. I would like to post a Limerick of Pete instead - our legendary unforgotten ad hoc Limerick Guru...!

Safe and sound, well off the ground,
that's where you find the bird
they always eat
standing on their feet,
though I chomp and fly, maybe I'm absurd.
