    4a There was a … John Allison


    .....................................................................

    There was an old salesman named Creek,


    who pitched to his clients in Greek.
    He said, ‘While they doze
    it’s much easier to close,
    and I do love to hear myself speak.’

    1 Underline the stressed syllables in each line of the above limerick. Then practise
    reading the limerick aloud with the correct stress and a regular rhythm.

    2 Now mark the weak forms in each line. Read the limerick again paying attention
    to stress, rhythm and weak forms.

    3 Mark the linking (words beginning with a vowel are linked to the previous word).
    Find two examples of elision where the final ‘d’ of a linked word disappears. Read
    the limerick again with the correct stress, rhythm, weak forms and linking.

    4 Repeat the procedure in 1–3 with the following limerick.

    A young Irish chemist from Cork


    was nervous when giving a talk.
    She concocted a snorter
    from whiskey and porter,
    and now she can talk but not walk.

    5 Put the words in each line in the correct order to make a limerick about Richard Nixon.

    Ricky called an old politician


    TV found sticky appearances.
    five his stubble o’clock
    trouble got into him,
    Ricky and Dicky became Tricky.
