Well what else do you do when you've got a bit of time on your hands? Those in the GLA forum have been lucky enough to experience a few already but I'm sure I'm not the only one with some talent in this direction...
I thought I'd post a couple of French ones just get everyone going:
The class came to France rather quickly,
On the boat they all felt quite sickly,
They rushed to the side,
Their mouths opened wide,
And they coated the boat rather thickly.
An EFL teacher in Paris,
Proved very hard to embarrass,
Till she caused a slight ripple,
By showing her...whipple,
And revealed she was really a Harris.
Incidentally, writing limericks can be a great class activity, great for learning new vocab and giving everyone a laugh! So come on people, don't let me down...

Following on from"Your fly is open" thread:
An EFL teacher from Ryde
Took everything in his stride
When his flies were ajar
He said "Ha - ha
I really have nothing to hide"
I'm a poet, and I know it,
Hope I don't blow it.... (Bob Dylan) |

There once was a teacher in Japan
He really thought he was the man
Then one day
He had something to say
And the woman hit him with the back of her hand.
How's that for a quick impromptu

There was a young lad in Bulgaria,
Who thought he knew the whole area,
When all of a sudden
'Tween ten and a dozen
New words made him a little bit warier.
sorry not too good a rhyme. |

Something a little more interesting:
There was a young lad called Charlie,
Who thought he knew the local 'parley',
But when he met a girl,
With a swirl,dance and twirl,
He wondered if she meant hay or barley? |

I am good at poems
I have a home
and a gnome
I don't have a gnome
I lied
I hate flies
Go drink rye
Look and hide |

As I write I get stuck at a block,
Can't think anymore but to mock,
Can it be this hard,
To be a good bard,
Yes. So this limerick's a crock.
There ya go PT, as promised. |

To effectively teach is the thing
so varied methodology bring
try a lively discussion
in Spanish or Russian
and end all you classes with zing.

He spends too much time on Dave's
The ultimate post he craves
And then to his surpise
Right there before his very eyes
A Mod shuts him down in a blaze

The reason I came to Japan
Is that I'm such a pig ugly man
That I never got laid
All the years that I stayed
Back in England, but here I can! |

Oh you're such a good boy, yes you are *pat pat*
I am so impressed with all the contributions so far, y'all are awesome!
Here's one that was inspired by travelling on public transport over the weekend.
There is something that will cause you pain,
Make well laid plans all go down the drain,
So don't go tempting fate,
You'll wind up running late,
When you choose to travel by train.
Keep them coming folks and I might even get some of Kent's kiss emoticons to throw around,

I would like to get to work on foot,
But the way that the crossings are put
Is so inconvenient
As to be slightly deviant,
Which put paid to my going on foot. |

This time I was feeling inspired by the time of year
Last night it was Halloween,
With many strange sights to be seen,
So much candy in store,
You eat more than before,
Thank God there's a year in between.
