review Limericks
There once was a mouse in a house
Who showed off in her pretty satin blouse.
When a new cat arrived
and couldn't believe it's eyes.
Now that cat is the house of that mouse!
Limericks can be used to summarize facts that students know about a topic, too. For example, studying about bees and the deadly varroa mite contributing to the Colony Collapse Disorder of honey bee hives throughout the Western Hemisphere, students can use a limerick to summarize what they learned. Here is my limerick summary:
There once was a hive of honey bees,
Who politely asked the varroa mites to leave.
When the eggs were put to bed
Months later they were dead!
Those mites spread their deadly disease.

Down by the Bay, where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home, I dare not go.
For if I do my Mother will say:
Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?
Did you ever a spider drinking apple cider?
Did you ever see snail reading the mail?
Did you ever see a horse, in a police escort?
Down by the bay.
Did you ever see a giraffe, writing music on a staff?
Down by the bay.
Did you ever tell a joke that went up in smoke?
Down by the bay
Did you ever Lizz in show biz?
Did you ever see Arlenn, ain't she a darlin'?
Did you ever follow Austin skipping to Boston?
Did you ever farm with Carmen while in Harlem?
Did you ever wave to Melissa, we're gonna miss ya'
down by the bay!
Long Ago!
Long ago when dinosaurs roamed in our own state,
they had a healthy appetite and this is what they ate:
green leaves and tops of trees,
tall grass, high as giraffes.
What a funny diet, I wouldn't like to try it.
