Limerick Contest

limerickSponsored by Neumiller Orchards
James & Colleen Neumiller
Prizes: 1st $10.00, 2nd $8.00, 3rd $6.00

Class 69, Section 10

18 and up (adult) (first day of fair)

Try your hand at a limerick this year! It must be based on the Harrow Fair’s theme – Grape Expectations.

The limerick must be five lines; the first two lines have 7 (up to 9) syllables each, the next two have 5 syllables each and rhyme and the last has 7 (up to 9) again and rhymes with lines one and two. It can be very silly!

 

 

Here is an example:

A poor farmer named Jonathan Mounty,
For Harrow Fair sent his best bounty
To his great surprise
He won the top prize
and for that he was named best in the county.

Rules:
1. Paper size need not be 8-1/2 x 11”; it may be smaller.
2. May be illustrated.
