For those not familiar with a limerick, it's a triplet and a couplet. The triplet should have the same syllabic meter, and the couplet should have a shorter, but equal, meter. Usually, limericks are humorous, non-sensical poems. Enjoy!

There once was lass called Faye,
Who wanted to play all day.
When her Mom said stop,
With a snort and pop,
Miss Faye chose to run away.

‘Goodbye!’ Faye left in a mood.
She figured it was not good,
To stomach Mom's fuss
She got on a bus;
Short any money for food.

She rode, then remembered well.
At school she’d skipped the lunch bell!
Now trav’ling and starved,
She thought of ham, carved;
Then took a look at her cell.

See, Mom was cooking her best,
When Faye began her trek west.
Now thought of the meat;
Her stomach's strong beat,
Caused Faye to give up her quest.

Got off that bus—yes, she ran!
She had to find the school van.
It shuttles for free—
The quick way to be--
Homebound to eat from the pan!

'Mama,' she said with a sigh,
'So sorry I didn't try,
Much harder to be,
A good girl for thee...
Forgive me for being so sly!'

Mom looked and gave a wry smile,
For she had known all the while,
That Faye would come back,
At least for a snack.
It worked--her wee game of guile!

See, Mom had followed Faye out.
And while Faye was deep in pout,
She sprinkled her hair
With ham broth, I swear!
To make sure she changed her route!
