My sempai's daughter has her fifth birthday tomorrow and so she'll be starting kendo now. I always like to write poems in kids' birthday cards and it's a big card so I wanted to put two in. I can't find one that references her name.

Does anyone know of any kendo related poetry? My poetry's crap - if you write one I'll reference your name!

[Joesred]

If you want her name in the poem can you tell us her name?

oh and would a limerick be okay. Might be more entertaining for a 5 year old.

Lee

Oh yeah, I was thinking that and forgot - Hanne.

Hey, if I get enough poems, I'll type them up for her for Christmas

[jeraveike]

How is that pronounced?


like..


Han, Han-neh, Han-nah, hannee?

[jojocomok]

Does it rhyme with "nantucket"?

[__CVineXPharm__]

It's the Danish spelling for Hannah, so the third one

[Phoneemer]

Hannah the third.

Oooh sounds like royalty

[Pynctyncroast]

Does it rhyme with "nantucket"? No, Hanne does not rhyme with "nantucket" but you get an extra gold star if you can get that to rhyme in a poem to Hanne about kendo. Make that two gold stars.

[valiumcheepval]

Okay got one.

Ahem


There was a young girl called Hanne
Who thought kendo is heaven sent manna
To fence with a shinai
Even though she is knee-high
And march with the Kendo World banner.

How's that for a first attempt

And now for the Nantucket version

There was a young girl called Hanne
Who thought kendo is heaven sent manna
She moved to Nantucket
With armour in bucket
And marched with the Kendo World banner.


I even did it without using the obvious phrase to rhyme with Nantucket. Does that get 3 stars?

[Crazykz]

you peanut.

[bortycuz]

Yep that's me

Small, sweet, tasty and good for you
