Limericks: the challenge

We did a lesson on limericks, I challenged my students to write some of
their own... though I'm not sure how much of the lesson they understood,
the results were hilarious and here are some of my favorites:

There once was a girl from Tibet
All she ate every day was some yogurt
She want eat with a chicken
So we'll see her real soon
Because I have stolen his fruit.
-Qiangjiuzhouma

There once was a girl from Shannan
A boy from Shigatse she met
The boy took a flower
But the girl haven't received
He feel shy and went home.
-Cirendunzhu

There once was a boy from Shigatse
And he usually went to a tea house
But he one day drunk so many
Then prepared to pay money
Later he forgot take money and ran at once.
-Pubuciren

There once was a girl who you know
Everyday she at shamomo
She wanted some more
But the girl at the door
fell down so she felt shy immediately go
-Denzengqujia

There once a man who is a thief
He want have many knife in his life
One day he stole a knife
Look at very good
But got home he found is a wood!
-Baimadeji

There once was a man who you know
He want go to restaurant eating noodle
Although he are not money he had better enter eat
The landlord shout he pay the bill when he said take money forget

There once was a man named Tsering
And one day his teacher let me sing
But he stood up then cried

There once was an English student

He met a crazy driver
The man wants carry him
But he say "I have foot".
-Danzengqudeng



He has promised to bring the good work that He started in you to completion...
And He's more committed to that than you are.
