Beach Volleyball: A Limerick

By Lexine, 11, Temple City, CA, USA

There once was a volleyball player,
Who was commonly known as "The Slayer".
She spiked over the ball,
And it made such a fall,
It fell through the mesospheric layer.

Limericks

By Ammara, 8, Bradford, UK

There was a woman from Ealing,
who liked to jump up to the ceiling.
one day her head stayed,
in a brand new lampshade,
and now she's in hospital healing!

There was a man with a bush,
his name was president George Bush.
he left america,
while playing with his elders,
and blasted off in a rocket, Whoosh!
