And for no particular reason, let's write limerick about this guy. Um, or gal. And here's the first line:
There once a very odd lemur
For those who may not be familiar with the limerick, a limerick follows a five-line format. AABBA, with all the As rhyming and the Bs rhyming. Then a new stanza begins.
A very important point here: we at CIC only follow standard formats when our characters feel like it. So please consider all formats to be in the nature of a suggestion, rather than a rule.
That said, we are positive that all of our characters have a limerick within them, just waiting to get out.
Well, here's our chance. Let it out. Let that limerick fly free in the beautiful sky. Fly, little limerick, fly.
Note: Group projects are everybody posts.

Okay, so AABBA format, just a suggestion.
There once was a very odd lemur
I remember that lemur, that was funny.
I like limericks.
So, the second line.
"He had something wrong with his femur.
But he took his canoe
paddled his way to the zoo
And said: what is it I see here?
But was capsized by a steamer.
Gosh Guys, that's terrible. Let me have a bash.
There once was a very odd lemur
whose exta big eyes should have seen more
But instead he saw less
which caused such distress
He bought glasses and became a consumer.
Oops, just as bad!
Hmmm, how about this?
There once was a very odd lemur
Who had something wrong with his femur
But he took his canoe
And paddled his way to the zoo
Because he was also a dreamer
He hoped to obtain through his strife
A beautiful, ring-tailed wife
He hoped his poor leg
Wouldn't force him to beg
For someone to love him for life
Ginger has it!
Or
There once was a very odd lemur,
Shunned because he was such a schemer,
Strife and anguish he brought,
With his lack of forethought,
That his troop really needed a breather.
He whistled in his sleep
and in daylight would peep
twas his music to make
whilst he bake-ed a cake
twas forty layer steep
Hi everybody. Just got up. What's going on?
He slept for a day
in a sack by the bay
and awoke to a whale
who was dodging the hail
and decided to bray
There once was a very odd lemur,
Who never took coffee with his creamer,
Then in a cafe in Krug,
He looked at his mug,
And said "For this, I could buy a beamer!"
So one day this really odd lemur
ran happily off with a streamer.
As he danced down the street
with the lightest of feet
his physique became noticeably leaner.
Sorry no new post today - too much studying - yech.
I shall take a break to let my limerick fly. Although I can't see topping these - very funny:
There once was a very odd lemur
Who did not like his name, which was Seymour
He said a pox on my name
I'll change the rules of this game
And Seymour became the lemur Fleur.
As in Flower? Became a girl? Get it? Ha.
Okay, it's weak but I'm studying.
:-)
There once was a very odd lemur
Who grew up to be quite a good dreamer
In spite of his looks
He wrote very good books
from nightmares which turned out to be screamers
I am not a limerickist.
There once was a lemur named Alfred
Though he looked most alive he was quite dead
It's the botox, he cried
though it seemeth I died
I am more than myself into blingstead
STOP!
(me)
lol
