Краткое описание слова + примеры использования
**Limerick** — это короткое шуточное стихотворение, состоящее из пяти строк. Первая, вторая и пятая строки содержат по три слога, а третья и четвёртая — по два. Вот несколько примеров использования этого слова на английском:
1. He fell into the kettle,
Broke his little neck.
We put him in a jug
To make a nice stew.
And then we had some **limerick** for tea.
2. There was an Old Man with a nose like a prune,
Who said, «If I live eight hundred years,
I'll probably have a nose like someone's,
Whose nose is much better than mine,
Now I'm sure,» said the Old Man, «I'm nearly there.»
3. There was a Young Lady named Bright,
Who kept a dog with a curly tail,
She named him after a city in France,
And when he barked, it was, «Paris,» she'd say.
«Paris, Paris,» barked the dog, «all day long.»
4. There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who dreamed he could fly like a kite,
But he fell out of a tree,
And he hurt his foot very much,
So he went to the doctor, and said, «Doctor, I've quit!»
