Week 4

1.)
There once livd a fish named Jim
Oh how he loved to swim
But then one day
Jim got dragged away
And made a tasty dish of codagratin

2.)

This poem is a limerick. It has five lines and a rhyme scheme of aabba. This limerick is a funny poem about a fish that gets caught and cooked for dinner; it gives death a comical tone. This poem has three feet in lines 1, 2, and 5 then only two feet in line 3 and 4. The rhythm pattern is two unstressed syllables followed by an accented syllable. The skipping sound the rhythm creates, empathises this poems funny tone.
