The Lindsey Lit Limerick Extravaganza

Students in my 5th period class recently had a little extra time on their hands, so naturally, we had a limerick competition. They were told specifically that the best would be particularly insulting.

The following is the best one that did not contain profanity:

My teacher is such a poser.
Really, nobody knows her.
With glasses and a book,
Like a witch with a hook,
I don’t know why the principal chose her.

-Dominik Reyes

Not awful, but if you think you can do better, throw it down in the comments below. Look here for a handy reference on how a limerick is made.

And in closing:

Your limericks will likely be bad
You’re the dullest students I’ve had.
I hope you don’t mind
That I’ve set it to rhyme,
But your writing skills are quite sad.

Are you going to let me talk to you like that? Prove me wrong below.

    Mr. Lindsey made his ac-dec kids wright limericks last year.
    David Rosales helped me wright this one.

    Quite gross is the common old man
    He sits on his warm saggy can
    all he does is conplain
    of his kidney stone pain
    leaving out his week old bed pan… full of piss

    We won cookies for that limerick!

    Hey yo mister lindsey
    your words weren’t all that cunning
    They sounded a bit clumsy
    so I suggest you start running
    Before I take your money

  3. Ricky Rodriguez says:

    Whoops! I meant to say we “won” cookies for that limerick.
    This one’s for Lindsey.

    You teach but you constantly fail
    Our brains you leave scrambled and frail
    there are teachers quite few
    that teach worse-r than you
    Half your students end up in jail

    English Lit is the worts class Ive had
    I can’t understand why its so bad
    Lindsey thinks we love his class
    frankly, we don’t give a rat’s ass
    stop being a pansy and don’t be sad

  5. Elizabeth Hernandez says:

    School is fun
    I’d rather sit in the sun
    Playing it cool
    A book as my tool
    To teach something new to my hun

  6. Amber Gomez says:

    LOL this one fails so much…
    I suck at writing poetry, forgive me for this trash…
    D:

    I go to Lindsey’s class everyday
    hoping to god i don’t have to hear him say
    “You’ve got an assignment to do,
    better hurry before it’s 10 minutes till 2.”
    in the end, I’m just going to pray.

  7. Lindsey says:

    Your hun? What’s a hun?

  8. Jennifer Phol says:

    the sight of of Mr. Lindsey is cripple and old
    he is scrawny and stiff and so ice-cold
    this is no lie
    so Mr. Lindsey please don’t cry
    this is the truth so it must be told

    p.s. please don’t fail me…..you asked for it…haha (note: this poem is not really for mr. lindsey it’s for my grandma haha just kidding)

  9. Valerie Garcia says:

    There was a girl whose clothing was quite strewed
    By the fight that left her quite nude
    saw a boy come along
    and unless I am wrong
    you s-expected this line to be lewd

  10. Juvenal Jove says:

    Lindsey your very hilarious
    but i have to admit your also quite hidious
    don’t be mad i just dont like to lie
    don’t be sad and dont cry
    this isn’t good but i know im not a genius

  11. Edgar Calvillo says:

    hey mr. your teaching skills are wack
    you make me wanna hit you with my back-pack
    im sorry, i know its not your fault
    but know that i think about it is your fault
    so maybe you should go back to school and youll be less of a fool.

  12. [...] Garcia and Ricky Rodriguez both had hilarious entries in the Lindsey Lit Limerick Extravaganza. And Ricky took the Gold Star award (brought to you by Carl’s Jr.) for the following [...]

    learning from you
    sometimes it can be
    whack and out of the
    ordinary so i just
    play it cool
    but get the best education
    from you
