Softball Limerick

Okay, so lately I've been into writing quick Limerick's, thats a poem. Basically it is a poem with 5 lines. The first two lines have 8 syllables and the last word must rhyme, the 3rd and 4th lines are 5 syllables and the last word has to rhyme and the 5th and last line is again 8 syllables and the last word has to rhyme with the last word of the first 2 lines.

Does that make any sense? Well, if not, let me explain a bit better.

Okay, here's the poem:

Tuesday Night Softball Limerick

Tonight I have a softball game,

I hope I will have perfect aim.

i need a good bat,

and pitches not flat.

or i will hang my head in shame.

Line 1: to-night i have a soft-ball game (8)

Line 2: i hope i have per-fect aim (8)

game and aim rhyme

Line 3: i need a good bat (5)

Line 4: and pitch-es not flat. (5)

bat and flat rhyme

Line 5: or i will hang my head in shame (8)

shame rhymes with game and aim.
