Limericks from Year 5 students - 2012

Aussie Limerick by Aidan and Rob
There once was a man with a bush fly
Who happened to love meat pie
He went to bed
And then he said
I feel like I’m going to die

Aussie Limerick by Austin
I know a food called vegemite
At first it is an odd sight,
Has a horrid smell,
Something likes hell,
When you taste it you’ll get a big fright.

Aussie Limerick by Jamie and Charlie
There once was a young man named Hugh,
Who was not able to chew.
He once ate baked beans,
That spilled down his jeans.
And that was the end of his shoe.

Aussie Limerick by Liam and Xavier
There was once a guy named Fred,
Who had a mate called Ned.
While making a movie,
He bought Fred a smoothie,
But Fred spilt it in his bed.

Aussie Limericks by Oli and Dan
1.There was once a driver named Brock,
His driving skills were as solid as a rock,
He took the town by storm,
With his unique driving form,
But his life soon hit a road block.

2. There was once a young boy named Paul,
He loved his friend the cricket ball,
The ball flew away,
So Paul went astray,
And then found the ball in Nepal.

Aussie Limerick by Riley and Max
There once was a kangaroo,
Who couldn’t fit into his shoe,
So he asked the croc,
To take off the lock,
And that was the end of the roo!

Aussie Limerick by Robbie and Tom
There once was a roo called Ned
Who had a friend called Fred
He had very sharp claws
That cut like chainsaws
And now his poor friend is dead

Kelly Limerick By Wilton, Seb and Cooper
There once was a bloke called Kelly
Who had a big pot belly
He ate a meat pie
And just happened to die
That was the end of poor Kelly!

Aussie Limerick by Will and James
There was an old man named Kelly
Who refused to eat red jelly
It was a fact
That he ate the town cat
And now has a very big belly

Aussie Limerick by Will and Will
There was once a boy called Kelly
Who was very dirty and smelly
He loved catching waves
This took him to caves
And that’s the story of Kelly
