National Limerick Day is Tomorrow

This blog I wanted to write some limericks about disability to celebrate National Limerick Day. Limericks are poems that typically have 5 lines, tell a story, and have a simple rhyme scheme. Typically, the first two lines will rhyme, the third and fourth lines will rhyme, and the fifth line will rhyme with lines one and two. While most limericks tell a story about a person, with a twist at the end, I wanted to see if I could use this poetry style to share my experiences being disabled. Below, you will find three limericks. The first is about disability as a whole. The second limerick is about how autism impacts friendship. The last limerick shares how mobility challenges can impact friendships.

 

Here is a poem about disability


And why it is important that everybody see


The trials, tribulations, journey, and pride


And about the experiences the community has kept inside


So that everyone can learn about our right to be


 

Autism has made it harder to find a friend


For what I say isn’t always what I intend


I struggle to understand social cues


As a result I have felt deep in the blues


But the more I share, the more I find those with whom I don't have to pretend


 

My mobility is often up in the air


Sometimes the changes cause quite a scare


I never know if I can go for a hike, walk, or run


It can be hard to have to coordinate my fun


Throughout this process I am thankful for those who have shown how much they care.
