About the Poem

A poem about a morris dancer, written in the traditional form of a limerick. Because the form is quite constraining, I don't write many limericks, but they are a excellent type of poem for those who are just starting to write their own funny poetry.

The Dancer - A Limerick

There was a young man from Weston-super-Mare
With bells on his fingers and ribbons in his hair
The locals looked askance
When he started to dance
'I'm Morris, the dancer. How dare you stare!'
