Project Poem

The poem I chose was [There was a young girl from St. Paul] by Anonymous. This poem is a limerick meaning a short funny verse of, usually, five lines. Like I stated it is meant to be funny. You can tell when the speaker talks about her "newspaper dress" starting on fire and burning the "sporting section and all." I enjoy these kind of verse poems because they are light hearted. Maybe I just don't get into poetry and I didn't challenge myself, but every once in a while you have to sit back and enjoy a short poem for what it is.
