If you laugh it’s a LIMERICK, if you don’t it’s an ATTEMPT at one!

Thought I would practice writing a Limerick so here below is my take on a practice Limerick; Practice makes perfect. Your turn!
********************************
Every hour this male thrived on power
Although he lacked the brainpower
Some called him sleepy
That seemed quite creepy
Believed he wore a mask taking a shower
For Fandango my attempt at a limerick
Once upon a time lived only Adam plus Eve
They lived happily neverending they perceived.
Meandering, a long, slimy slithering snake
I feel someone is about to make a mistake!
From that day on, the world seeks to find a reprieve.
Looking everywhere trying odds and ends
We all do hope someday to make amends.
While time marches; listen hear the tock-tick
Solution is within; this limerick!
Try this! What do you do on your weekend?
My Limerick for today … Political, yes; Comical yes; Truthful, I think so!

Rules to remember besides being silly are, it’s five lines long
The first two lines rhyme with each other and with the fifth line
The third and fourth lines also rhyme
Limericks are also supposed to have a certain rhythm.
There once was a person
Daily turned to worsen
Stop bugging me!
Yet, to polite to say
I am tired of your version
Fandango does it again, the perfect prompt for my LIMERICK!
Observed annually on May 12, National Limerick Day celebrates the birthday of English artist, illustrator, author and poet Edward Lear (May 12, 1812 – Jan. 29, 1888). Lear is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry, prose, and limericks.
Anyway, rules to remember besides being silly are, it’s five lines long
The first two lines rhyme with each other and with the fifth line
The third and fourth lines also rhyme
Limericks are also supposed to have a certain rhythm.
There was once an election!
And LEFT had their selection,
Surprise, anyway!
Which wrought the hearsay.
The upshot — insurrection!
(A Limerick) It’s supposed to be nonsense, ANYWAY like the politics and media of today!
