Famous Poems Rewritten as Limericks

LOL! I’m not gonna lie, I actually like most of these famous poems rewritten by The Poetry Collection as limericks better like this. A limerick is a funny poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines should only have five to seven syllables and they too must rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.

  1. A guest heard a Mariner’s word
    How he’d shot a friendly seabird.
    With the dead he did sail
    his homecoming he failed,
    Leaving his listener quite stirred.

  2. House of Leaves

    There’s a house, of whose print was the bluest,
    And accounts are uncertain of truest.
    It was bigger inside,
    And a bunch of guys died,
    And some crap from a mopey tattooist.
