It's fun, promise!

When I was in 4th grade, one of our English class assignments was to write a Limerick, and it changed my life!  I realize that sounds dramatic, but I thought it was great fun, and also that I was hugely talented.  For those who may not have had the same experience, here's how to write a limerick:

It's a five line poem.

Establish the rhythm.

Lines 1, 2, & 5 share rhythm and rhyme patterns.

Lines 3 & 4 share rhythm and rhyme patterns.

Think of limerick structure like a joke. 

The frugal life is the life for me
Sensible shopping suits me to a T
I pinch every penny
Sometimes there aren't many
But I make it all work with creativity
