The Limerick Game
#1
The Limerick Game


The format of the Limerick game is A₁A₂B₁B₂A₃. The syllable pattern is 88558. The first line(A₁) rhymes with the second line(A₂). The third line(B₁) rhymes with the fourth line(B₂), and the fifth line(A₃) rhymes with the second line(A₂) which of course also rhymes with the first line(A₁).

The first user writes the first line(A₁) consisting of 8 syllables, and then the second user writes the second line(A₂) also consisting of 8 syllables, so on and so forth.

Example:
1. So this is called the limerick game,(8 syllables)
2. and it just might drive you insane(8 syllables; rhymes with line 1)
3. Not my intention(5 syllables)
4. this odd invention,(5 syllables; rhymes with line 3)
5. and some might even think it's lame(8 syllables; rhymes with line 1 and 2)

Note: some pronounce "limerick" with two syllables and some with three(two here).

This is just something else to toss into the Collaborative Writing section and throw down a line from time to time:
