When I was homeschooled, my mom taught us how to write haiku and limericks, and I produced pages of masterpieces which I'm sure you also would have liked. I wonder about the style now, as I'd never seen a real haiku and the only limerick I'd read was:
There was an old man in Peru Who dreamt he was eating his shoe. He woke in a fright In the middle of the night And found it was perfectly true.
Needless to say, it took me a while to figure out why limericks in P.G. Wodehouse were strictly for non-mixed company.
