Limerick Day is a fun holiday celebrated on May 12th, each year. It is an unofficial holiday in many places and is celebrated on the birthday of Writer Edward Lear.
Read some original limericks by Edward Lear: There was an Old Derry down Derry, who loved to see little folks merry; So he made them a book, and with laughter they shook at the fun of that Derry down Derry.
Limericks are fun to create. They are humorous, often bawdy, full of folk wisdom, and delightfully entertaining.
