The limerick skits

[mikealan]

As you remember about the limerick skits, they're short animated sketches that taught us letter sounds, but had limericks of any word that begins with each letter. When they were made in the 70's they were silent, until in 1997, they've added music so children can enjoy the music to the skits.

My personal favorite was the 'Z' one for zebu. It was where the zebu was preparing for lunch. He took out an old boot and two socks, so he glued them together between two pieces of bread to make his own sandwich!

What are your favorite limerick letter skits?

Oh WOW! I remember those! Here's one I remember clearly from way back when. It was for the letter D & the word Dog:

D- Dog

"There once was a hound dog named Fred
Who Liked To Stand on his head
He wriggled his toes & rumpled his nose
& Hoooowwwled until he was fed."

D- Dog


Wow, I miss those!

They still use that one sometimes with rock guitar music. It's very different than it used to be. Same with Z-Zebu, S-Snail, and most of these "Consonant Sound" animations.

My favorite is "W--Witch Whistling"

"One of these witches is whistling a waltz,
And one of these witches is not. (Tap-tap)
If only one witch is whistling a waltz,
Then the other is certainly not!"

Some of those alphabet limericks didn't have a poem or words. There was J for Jaguar where you saw a picture puzzle of a jaguar being formed while you heard jungle backgrounds and a big jaguar roar.

And V for Violin had a guy playing a wild tune on a violin while dancing his legs around like crazy. And it ended with him breaking all his violin strings.
