Limericks
A limerick is a five-line poem that consists of a single stanza, an AABBA rhyme scheme. This means that the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme; and the third and fourth lines rhyme. Generally, the first, second, and fifth lines are longer. Limericks are well-known for their highly rhythmic patterns. Most people have heard limericks in their lifetimes, unfortunately, the subjects are often vulgar but humorous. Although "Limerick" is a town in Ireland, it is thought that this type of poem was created in England (and named after the Irish town). I have decided to write a few limericks to to demonstrate. These are inspired by the City's actions to help flatten the curve and protect everyone, locals and tourists alike, from COVID-19. The City has taken such wonderful steps as closing beach parking, encouraging staying at home, and supporting local businesses by encouraging curb-side pick up and take-out. As a thank you, these poems are dedicated to the City personn
