Challenging behaviourist.

[Tilly2]

On Wednesday in our final 1:1 session a student asked if we could write some limericks. We talked about the form of the poem, number of lines, rhyming pattern, syllable count and so on and then I asked him to think of four words at random and then we would look for some words to rhyme with his choice.

These were the words he chose:- oppression, behaviourist, norm(social) and cricket. The student is currently studying history and sociology. That was his choice, he's on the autistic spectrum and he would not be moved. We managed to write two. Here's the cricket one.

There was a young man, name of Wicket
Whose favourite pet was a cricket
He loved it so dear
That it slept in his ear
Where his mother had told him to stick it.

We didn't get round to using oppression and behaviourist. We ran out of time, thank goodness.
So, can anyone write a limerick using either of these words in order that I can go back next term with some ideas!

Hell`s Bells Tilly! Could you not have posted this before I opened the wine?
Look forward to reading what appears though.:-)

[Tilly2]

So am I, gness. He he!
Perhaps nobody will bother. It's a big ask.

You ran out of time in your session
To make a limerick using oppression
Well I gave it a go
It only took me a mo
So I hope it'll help in your lesson

I'm sure DT is composing as we type!!

sorry I'm useless at that sort of thing..wine or no wine!

[Tilly2]

Elvis, that's clever! Thank you.

A pint glass for a man is the norm
For a woman, it's bad form
They hold it so dear
Women must fear
Sqad will make them conform.

I've read the four on your list
I think I've cracked behaviourist
It's Saturday night
My head is quite light
I'm one glass of wine from being p!ssed

[Tilly2]

Topical, sibton. Well done!
I'll leave you to it. Tea's ready. Or dinner....................whatever.

[Tilly2]

This is going to be good!

[ELVIS68]

There was a young man called norm
When sober he played cricket on form
But a true behaviourist
He dropped catches when p!ssed
And it didn't go down a storm

Gness really must go to confession,
Her sins are causing oppression.
She sleep walks at night
In a basque that`s too tight
And Shoota thinks she`s up for a session.

R u?

[gness]

I have a headache.:-(

[shoota]

In another of AB's gems,
About a house on the edge of the Thames,
She suffered oppression,
(not to mention depression)
From attacks by a gaggle of swans.

[shoota]

I think I'm getting something of a reputation...........

This tale has a very strange twist,
`Bout an animal behaviourist.
Took his dog for a run,
And it bit Tony`s bum.
And felt the full force of T av`s fist.

There was a young doctor named sqad ....(pronounced squad of course)
He thought he was just like a god
A fish supper could please
They were down on their knees
But found haddock
Instead of nice cod .

[ELVIS68]

I'm sitting here the beat is bopping
My ears and eyes are popping
I'm watching the voice
It's not my choice
Lol @ Tom Jones name dropping

[Tilly2]

There was a 'young' lady from Stoke
Who posted this Q as a joke
She went for her tea
and came back to see
There's nothing as funny as folk.

Thank you to those of you who responded to this post. Some very clever constructions. I must say, though, that I am disappointed that more people didn't respond. C'est la vie.
