What a great language arts lesson…..
“The Omnificent English Dictionary invites you to rewrite the definition of every single word in our language — in limerick form.
Thus far, the online database has published 48,000-plus poems (and that only takes it up to the D’s). Here’s an example sent in by frequent contributor Meg Beagle, for the definition of agasp:
I ruined my Maidenform’s clasp.
Now going cold turkey,
Just one side is perky.
The other is out of my grasp.
Who needs a dictionary illustration after reading something like that? Limericks, of course, tend toward the racy, but the site’s keepers do trust you to stick within the boundaries of good taste. Nantucket, we’ve got our eye on you!” – – VSL
Where do you find this stuff?! This is great!
[…] November 13, 2008 by Angela I’m swiping another link from Southpaugh Homeschool. She finds good stuff. Imagine every word in the dictionary defined in limerick form? Welcome […]
