Need to revive limerick writing at middle school level to tickle the funny bone of students

A limerick is a five-line poem with rhyming scheme of AABBA.

Most limericks are intended to be humorous, suggestive or silly in nature. However, some modern limericks have satire in them.

This is the limerick created by a teen-ager on the ‘trumpeter’ as part of learning language art.

Farmers said don't blow trumpet on our flour

It will choke you to show the the back door

He, however, hired trumpeters to create a din unjust
