A Limerick for fun only...^_^

自娱自乐

There was a poet from a seaport,
Who wrote his poem like a report.
He posted it everyday,
In a very special way,
For cyberspace was his poetic resort.

yo want to write a limerick?
I wrote one before. here it is for your reference:
A Limerick
There was a young man with a secret wish
To translate Chinese into English.
When he found a shortage
In his word storage,
He dived into the dictionary to fish.

Nice job, yishi.
Can my one be accepted as limerick?

A Limerick
There was an old man called Mr. Right,
Who never regarded anything slight,
Do exactly what poet said,
Otherwise price wouldn't be paid.
Therefore he was given a medal of knight.

you got the hang of the limerick:  3 long lines with the same rhyme and 2 shorter ones with a different rhyme.

A limerick
There is a young girl with an ambition,
To outshine a master in translation,
Either in French or English,
To earn a name is her wish,
Her freak talent is beyond description.

A Limerick
There is such a beautiful land on earth,
To make a living there it’s truly worth,
From coast to shining coast,
From guest to friendly host,
We are many but one to get a new birth.
