Many examples of acrostic poems can be found scattered around the web (where the first letter of each line spells out a word when read from top to bottom), but I have found very few examples of acrostic Limericks.
I now look out for prompts that contain five letters (or ten, fifteen or… let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?). I may add the odd one of my own, too.
Let me know what you think.
WRONG
For Esther (https://esthernewtonblog.wordpress.com/2021/03/15/laughing-along-with-a-limerick-50/)
Whether it be right or wrong,
Ricky will still sing his song.
Once he’s in flight,
No chance of respite.
Guess we should all sing along!
SNIFF
For Kristian (https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/03/15/sniff/)
Sniff — and I’ve caught a damned cold.
Now it’s bound to pay back seven-fold.
I‘ll infect everyone
From my Nan to my son
For not wrapping up when I was told.
Anyone care to join in?
SNIFf was clever. I liked WRONG but thought SNIFF a bit more engaging.

Thanks, John. I’m still waiting for the acrostics to become a little easier…

I’m steering clear of that fellow with the cold, but I’ll sing along with Ricky, for sure!
