This can be great fun.
The person who finishes the limerick starts the next one.
Copy/paste and add your line.
Lets see if this takes off….

Here we go 🙂
I have so many patterns already….

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie

(oh my, I LOVE this, thank you for starting it, Nicole!)

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started

[with love Heidi]

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted

[needlewoman]

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted from Teddy.

[Cat75]

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted from Teddy
who is crying oh so steady.

I had a hard time tying in that last line.
A new one

I wish I could sew but can not

[Sarvi]

Ah, I see we have a Limerick newbie who’s not familiar with the form. Here’s a sciencey example:

There once was a young lady named bright
Whose speed was much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

So ours above should go:

I have so many patterns already
To make clothes for Janie and Freddie
I ought to get started
But I can’t bear to be parted
From Teddy who’s crying so steady.

Got it? On to the next one, and shall we agree to keep them suitable for all audiences? More of a challenge, that way.

I wish I could sew but can not
My children want supper, what rot!

I wish I could sew but can not
My children want supper, what rot!
I just want to stitch

[daisygirl78]

I wish I could sew but can not
My children want supper, what rot!
I just want to stitch
(and perhaps to be rich)

[Nicole]

I wish I could sew but can not
My children want supper, what rot!
I just want to stitch
(and perhaps to be rich)
But such skills are for free, I forgot.

(Last line in sarcasm font)

Making costumes for free is such fun
