Year 9 Staff Limericks
Posted on August 21, 2018
The Year 9 English/Wellbeing teachers have been discussing humour and poetry with their classes, and challenged their students to write a funny limerick. A limerick is a form of poetry which contains five lines, and has a strict rhyme scheme where the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.
Here are some examples that the Year 9 Teachers wrote about each other. Keep your eye out for future webpages including the student poems.
There was a Maths teacher named Paul,
Who thought that he was rather cool.
He went for the Crows
Coz he didn’t know
That Port were better with the football.
I know a great teacher named Jess,
Who helps me avoid heaps of stress
She’s leaving next week,
So I’m feeling bleak
But soon I will meet her princess.
There was a young teacher called Katie,
Many consider, just a bit crazy.
Her laugh is contagious,
Her style is outrageous,
And her effort is anything but lazy.
There once was a teacher named Paul,
Who was a huge fan of British football,
Some say it’s called soccer,
Others say ‘that aint occer!’
‘Who cares?!’ says Paul, ‘I love it all!’
There once was a lady who struggled with tech
She often had her buddy in a wreck
He was a wee ginger lad
Who overworked a tad
But she made him earn his pay-check.
There once was a maths teacher called Marsh
Who sometimes acted a little too harsh
But do not fear
He imitated Pia
And now no longer is he Marsh the harsh.
The best student group at 91×ÔÅÄ
Is the Middle years class of 9 E
Richard left for a wedding
Being alone, Krista was dreading
And then along came Kimberley.
There was a kind teacher named Steve
Who decided it was time to thieve
He stole a Maths book
Not a second look!
And then quickly decided to leave.
I teach with Adele
Who teaches really well
She’s always quite happy
And is not so snappy
She’s actually really swell!
