Limerick Writing Template
A limerick is a playful poem with five lines. Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme; lines 3 and 4 rhyme. This pattern is called AABBA. Read your poem aloud to hear its bouncy beat.
Plan and write
Use the example idea below, or invent a different funny character and adventure. The answers are one possible limerick; your own poem may be different if it follows the AABBA rhyme pattern.
1.Choose a topic for a funny limerick. For example, you could write about a goat in a coat near a boat.
2.Write line 1 of a limerick about a goat. Make the final word rhyme with “coat”.
3.Write line 2 about the same goat. End it with a word that rhymes with “coat”.
4.Write line 3 of the goat limerick. Describe something surprising it saw, and end with a word that rhymes with “night”.
5.Write line 4 of the goat limerick. Tell what the goat did next, ending with a word that rhymes with “bright”.
6.Write line 5 of the goat limerick. Finish the funny idea and end with a word that rhymes with “coat”.
7.Read this five-line poem. What is its rhyme pattern?
The children run outside to play,
A puppy naps beside a shoe,
They laugh and shout throughout the day,
The puppy wakes and joins them too,
Then all head home at end of day.
8.Add an alliterative phrase to a limerick about a goat. Alliteration means nearby words begin with the same sound.
