Mrs. Allen’s Poetry Slam Blog

The pitcher on the mound threw fast,
But exactly what, you might ask?
The ump wasn’t sure,
The call was a cure!
He didn’t see it through the mask!

There once was a transitive verb,
Who named his direct object, Herb.
The action was clear,
You might say “Oh, dear!”
You better watch out for that curb!

Limericks
Transitive
There once was a boy named Gary
he had a cat that was hairy.
He choked on a hair
and he didn’t care.
Then he went to live with Larry.
Intransitive
Sheila read in a great hurry
because she was filled with furry.
Sheila loves to read
she also likes beads.
She reads well but it looks blurry.

Transitive verbs ask what or who
They have a direct object too.
They ask a question;
Answers, perfection!
Direct objects receive their cue.
Intransitive verbs are alone,
Without a direct object shown.
They sit by themselves
Like some unused shelves
Would someone just throw them a bone!

Transitive Verbs:
Transitive Verbs are very cool,
But there is only one old rule.
Follow an object,
Which must be direct.
Can’t comprehend, you are a fool.
Intransitive Verbs:
This is indeed is the easiest,
Though it is not the cheesiest.
It makes me smile,
But all the while,
It mostly is the breeziest

There once was a transitive verb
whose purpose was not to disturb
contrary; assist
affect the noun after it
therefore the sentence is superb
The verbs that are intransitive
are not very nice; they don’t give
don’t help out nouns
they just pack on the pounds
and all on their own do they live

A lost soul name transitive verb
Was tired of sitting on curbs.
A direct object
They met and connect.
And now he is doing superb.
Joe was an intransitive verb
He sat lonely on a street curb.
He did not expect
A direct object.
And now is a friend with a Serb.
By B-Rabbit

There once was a new part of speech
That Mrs. Allen chose to teach
An intransitive verb
Which kicks nouns to the curb
Going with any other word, I preach.
Transitive verbs have direct nouns
Which give them their own unique crown
They tell what things do
Like run, jump, or brew
Without nouns, transitives (verbs) cause frowns

Transitive verb said “What am I?”
You should know it’s as easy as pie.
You’re an action verb,
As you may have heard.
An object you have, so don’t cry.
The intransitive verb did know,
That direct objects had to go.
To go with the verbs,
He made up some words
That described words like row and throw.
