More limericks...

So you like limericks? Here's a limerick sequence I wrote when some of my creative writing students were not quite coming up to the mark:

On the Occasion of Danielle's and Cassie’s Acting Out in Mr. Sellers’ Creative Writing Class

Charmingly cheeky Danielle
Whined, " I don't want to write villanelles.”
So she tittered and snorted
And then she resorted
To read to the class doggerel.

“To show my disdain for them all,
I’ve affected a languorous drawl.”
“But Danielle, my dear wench,
(Sellers then switched to French)
Vous petez un plus haut que vous cul.”

“As a teacher you’re such a disgrace,”
Cassie said as she covered her face.
“Teachers should be more caring
When the students are sharing,
But you think that teen angst’s out of place.”

Said young Cassie to young Dani-elle, “Er,
It’s amusing abusing old Sell –ers.”
But I don’t like the way –
Though he’s old, deaf, and gray –
When he’s outdone a kid he will tell her.”

Then Danielle replied to the lass,
“I know what you mean by that, Cass.
To our culture he alien
But so sesquipedalian
That at poetry he's just unsurpassed.”
