There Once was a Girl Named Alexa

May 12, 2018 Lisa Mungovan

There once was a young boy from France. He ripped a big hole in his pants. He sewed up the hole, with help from a mole, and then they played tag with some ants. It’s National Limerick Day! That’s the kind of poem I just made up. Can you write one too?

Roses are red. Pretzels are brown. An earthquake’s coming! You’d better sit down! Today is National Poem In Your Pocket Day. Have a poem ready to recite for people. It’s National Pretzel Day and National Richter Scale Day also. The Richter Scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes. Pretzels are measured by deliciousness!
