A limeric by Lorne Laliberte
Another Grade 12 English assignment, where we were given 5 minutes to come up with a limerick. I don't know where the idea for this came from, but I remember being completely blocked for the first four minutes, and then scribbling this entirely within the last 60 seconds.
The Good Sport© 1989 Lorne Laliberte There once was a very swift man, Whose pants got caught in a fan. He was a good sport, As he still had his shorts, And was saved by how fast that he ran. |
All the limericks were later submitted to the Collegiate's Limerick Contest, but mine didn't place. I remember being very confused about this after reading the limerick that won. :)
