Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Each week, YA Highway hosts Road Trip Wednesday, a blog carnival in which contributors discuss a specific topic on their own blogs and invite readers to do the same. This week's RTW topic is:
Write a limerick about your favorite book or your work in progress.
For those who don't remember what a limerick is exactly (I know I sure didn't - third grade was a long time ago), a limerick is an often silly 5-line poem in which lines 1,2, and 5 rhyme and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.
A limerick about my favorite series:
There once was a woman named Jo
Who created a boy wizard you might know
He had a lightning-shaped scar
His adventures were bizarre
And to Hogwarts he did go!
And as a slight teaser, a limerick about my book:
There once was a girl named Maggie
Who lived in a house none-too-shabby
Then she went to Ireland
In the Modern World she was banned
And met some pixies who were a little too gabby.
Hope everyone enjoys their corned beef and cabbage today!

Don't forget soda bread! ;D
And awesome limericks, indeed.
Love the limericks! How fun. I won't lie–the second one really did pique my interest in your book.
Too funny that your book also fits the Irish theme!
thanks for participating! love them both.
Great limericks! Love your tribute to JKR :)
Oh, I adore the one about your book! So appropriate that she moves to Ireland - that sounds too cute!
Blue Lipstick - Thank you!
Rachel - I am glad to hear that. :-) I've purposefully kept pretty quiet about the details of my novel, but I know it's good to let little things out here and there. I thought a good bit about whether I wanted post the one about my WIP!
Kate - Yes, it was a weird St. Patrick's Day. I kept seeing things across the blogosphere that are in my novel and thinking, Wait?! Them, too?! Oh, no... it's St. Patrick's Day, that's right. :P
Kaitlin - Thank you! I love JKR. Kate's tribute to HP was more clever in my opinion, though. :-)
Michelle - Congratulations, and thank you!
Fun Fact: Corn beef and cabbage is more an American tradition. Corn beef served as a substitute by Irish-Americans immigrants for their traditional holiday meal of a bacon joint and cabbage.
Hmmm, that is a fun fact. Well, as we all know, "Irish-American" and "Irish" are two totally different things. Bacon sure sounds better than corned-beef, though I'm not so sure about this 'bacon-joint' you speak of. :D
Bacon joint is a cured but unsmoked piece of pork; so no Hickory smoked flavor for you. Unlike most American bacons which are made from pork belly, the bacon joint is made from the pork loin.
Eeee... I like applewood-smoked bacon. None of this bacon joint for me.
