 In this week’s Friday Free-For-All we want you to get your creative juices flowing. Between now and Thursday, December 13, IndependentTraveler.com challenges you to write your most clever travel limerick.
The writer of the funniest, cutest or just simply our favorite limerick will win a handy-dandy IndependentTraveler.com traveler mug. Please keep our posting rules in mind, and keep those limericks clean!
To help you get started, here are a few travel limerick examples, written by staff in the IndependentTravler.com offices.
A traveler once went to Belize
In search of a balmy sea breeze
She found jungles galore
Mayan ruins and more
Plus reefs underneath turquoise seas
- Written by Sarah Schlichter, Editor
There once was a gal from New Jersey
Who fled upon turning 30
So she traveled and sailed
Flew ’round the world and prevailed
And ended up with a pretty great journey
- Written by Dori Saltzman, News Editor
I once spent a night on a peak,
Where thin air had rendered me weak.
In my mind I was Incan,
Sun-child unblinking.
Descend now, I’m starting to freak!
- Written by Dan Askin, Senior Editor
