Question: Help with writing a limerick!?
I'm doing a media studies course and I need to write an ad for Schmachos!. It needs to be a 100 word or less limerick about 'HOW MY DOG ONLY GOES WACKO FOR SCHMACKOS'
it needs to be creative and witty!. Any suggestions!?
For those who don't know what Schmackos are, here is a link to their website : http://www!.schmackos!.com!.au/Www@QuestionHome@Com

A limerick is two lines with three accented syllables that rhyme, two lines with two accented syllables that rhyme, and then a fifth line, again with three syllables, that rhymes with the first two:

'''a
'''a
''b
''b
'''a

What's pretty solid about your ad is that "Wacko" and "Schmacko" already rhyme:

There once was a dog that went Wacko
for the delicious goodness of Schmackos

Something like that would be a good start, or, alternately, end with the line about Schmackos to drive home the message of the ad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you mean rhythmic poem rather than limerick - that would be too hard - if you are doing an ad you have 15, 30 seconds including voice-overs!. 100 words would be too much!.

Puppy Poetry

Go Wacko for Schmackos
(c) by Jenny Fisher

Kibble makes me gassy,
canned meat can bind me bad
that loafy stuff was quite enough!.
the worst I’ve ever had!.
In the end I’m your best friend,
So treat me with respect!.
Proper food is what you should
serve, what I expect
So, forget your day old pizza
unthawed meat
leftover tacos
Just open up the packet
and let me
"Go wacko for Schmackos!"
