( Limerick) Fickle love

by Chrissy710

There was a young laddie named Bill
In love with a lassie called Jill
But Jill she loved Ben
And Ben he loved Jen
While Jen was in love with young Bill

Then Bill he found out about Jen
Who loved him instead of young Ben
From Bill, Ben stole Jill
This gave her a thrill
Cause not Bill she loved but her Ben

Writing Prompt
It's Limerick time again!

A jolly form that everyone seems to love. Limericks are originated in Ireland and are traditionally bawdy. However, bawdy is not a hard requirement here, it may be too much for some (smile). Try to make it fun though.

Limericks are usually written in anapaestic meter. That's a syllable emphasis beat of [da-da-DUM-da-da-DUM etc) - the 'das' being un-emphasised, and the 'DUMS' being emphasised syllables.

Write a single Limerick or Limerick suite in five lines with a syllable count which could be either of the 4 examples below:

9-9-6-6-9, 9-9-5-5-9, 8-8-6-6-8, 8-8-5-5-8

Just having some fun with the limerick genre'
