300 Limerick Examples + Writing Frameworks

Kept testing each loaf by its height.
One batch rose so wide
It escaped from the side,
And blocked half the door by midnight.

A cyclist who mapped every lane
Still circled the station again.
The sign pointed west,
But the bridge knew best,
So the shortcut became the long train.

A student kept notes in a stack
With arrows that doubled right back.
When asked for page three,
They said, 'Wait and see—'
Then found it attached to the back.

A gardener planted one pea
Beside a remarkably tall tree.
The vine climbed the bark,
Reached the fence before dark,
And claimed it had done it for free.

A printer that lived by the wall
Would jam for the shortest job call.
Give it one tiny sheet,
And it stopped in defeat;
Send fifty—it printed them all.

As though it had scheduled the air.
When the clouds finally cleared,
It looked mildly weirded,
Then slept like it simply did not care.

Whenever a deadline was said.
But on Friday at four,
It slowed near the door,
And Monday arrived while we read.

A cook with a notebook of spice
Measured pepper exactly—not twice.
Then a sneeze shook the tray,
Sent the teaspoon away,
And improved the whole soup by advice.

A librarian labeling shelves
Found books rearranging themselves.
The mysteries moved,
The travel guides proved
They preferred taking trips by themselves.

A dog with a talent for doors
Could open the cupboards and drawers.
But faced with one gate,
It would patiently wait—
Apparently hinges have laws.
