Limericks

Here are some goofy limericks that will help you get to know invaders in our waterways. Why not try your hand at coming up with your own creative limerick about an aquatic invader of your choice. The teachers who wrote these rhymes had fun, and you will, too!

 

Think I’ll Stay Awhile

The invader came over by boat.
He thought it a bit remote,
But he had his way
And decided to stay,
And now he can really gloat.

Mom and Pop ZM

Once, mom and pop zebra mussel
Had started a really big tussle
When they moved their family
Of one hundred and three
Into a pipe made of rusty metal.

Even though they all clustered low
They impaired the intake water flow.
In came the authority
Who futilely scraped to set free
The two hundreds they had known to grow!

Alas, the growing family struggled
To keep all three hundred huddled.
Some mussels were scraped away
floating to a new place to stay
Where other ZM families cuddled.
