Limericks

Poetry need not always be serious or contemplative; there is also room for humor and silliness within its bounds.  So, in keeping with that, here is a limerick I discovered.  It has absolutely no meaning or depth, but it has form, and hopefully it makes you smile.

There was an old man with a beard
Who said, "it’s just how I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren
Have all built their nests in my beard."

P.S.  If you want to practice writing poetry yourself, limericks are an easy and fun place to begin.
