THE SWING
There was a young boy named Max,
Who had a swing made of wax;
But when he jumped off,
He flipped and he coughed,
And landed straight on some tacks.
- Max Coryell (a.k.a. Nisse Gnome)
You can download and print your own I LOVE LIMERICKS LESSON PLAN created with love by yours truly. Max had a great time with it this afternoon and did plenty of limerick writing. My unsung love affair with Edward Lear is written all over it. Anyone whose name rhymes with "queer" is bound to be a dear, 'tis clear.
Not to mention if you've never seen his illustrations and botanical discoveries, including the famous Manypeeplia Upsidownia....
