Hey, this is my first post here!!

...ok, the excitement's over now.

Anyway, does anybody have an interest in writing limericks? I had to write an English paper on Albert Camus' "The Plague" and decided to make it into and epic poem of sorts using only limericks. Now, I am wondering if an expert out there would have any tips on writing better and clever-er limericks. It's probably too late to do anything to fix my paper (though I do have all night still...), but I am still interested in them.

Here's one of them, tell me what you think:

There once was a man they called Grand,
Who lived in the town of Oran.
He was not that outspoken,
Since his spirits were broken,
By years lost like sand through his hands.

Well, I feel so much like part of the Rink-family. The subject can be an opening line to another limerick. Finish it if you want to. I wrote Llagimlyn because I couldn't think of another weird place. (hope Sam doesn't mind).
