It feels oh so good to be back on the Liberty University Office of Student Leadership blog. It is also exciting to know that this is going to be posted on the Friday before Spring Break. Because where does every college student want to go before leaving for Spring Break? THIS BLOG!!!
Ahhhh . . . Spring Break. It just sounds refreshing. It's kind of like the appetizer to Summer. But I think I like Spring Break most because it is the break during which our nation celebrates the beloved poetic tradition of the limerick. I grew up in a home that cherished our family limericks. With that familiar AABBA pattern, so versatile and rich, if you weren't raised to love limericks, you probably had bad parents.
About seven years ago, when I was a Resident Assistant, RA for short, at Liberty, I wrote a special Spring Break limerick for my students. I would like to share that with you now.
There once was a kid on Spring Break
Who took a nice trip to the lake
He said, "The RA's not here,
So throw me a beer."
AND HE DIED!
I hope you enjoyed it. Have a safe and wonderful Spring Break.
