Ok guys for those of u who dont know, a lymric is a poem that involves rhyming. Its format is like this...

Line
Line that's last word rhymes with the first line's last word
Line
Line that's last word rhymes with the 3rd line's last word
line that's last word rhymes with the 1st and 2nd line's last word

anyways, my idea is that we make a lymric that people add to. once one is done, a person adds another line that kind of makes some sort of story that follows the first stanza. Ill make the first line....

There once was a man named lee.

It's called a limerick, actually.

1. It's called a limerick.
2. You are correct, although not particularly comprehensible.
3. You forgot to mention that the 3rd and 4th lines should be shortest.

There once was a man named Lee.

He fell off of an apple tree.

There once was a man named Lee
he fell off an apple tree
but when he awoke
He knew something was broke,


Because his head was under his knee

There once was a man named Lee
he fell off an apple tree
but when he awoke
He knew something was broke,
Because his head was under his knee
The next day he went to the beach

He wondered if the leech was okay

That wasn't supposed to be part of a story, that was my message to you all. You know, since I wrote the last line in both the previous limericks. Sort of why I put it in Italic, but I can understand that you got confused.

It relieved his stress.

Oh, and @Ghgt99 and brisingr5665, this thread is not for your limericks, it's a thread where we make them together. It's about teamwork, guys! Be a team player!

But he knew by his pain that his wallet would pay
