Limerick /ˈlim(ə)rik/
A frequently silly, sometimes nonsensical ( often naughty ) poetic form which almost seems to be a contradiction because if its rigid rhyming structure AA-BB-A. The Limerick dates back to the Vikings days , but was popularized by the poet Edward Lear in the 19th century. The Limerick is composed three long ( 1,2,5) and two short lines (2,3) . They are quite fun to create!
Example by PG Administrator
There once was a gal from the south
with no filter assigned to her mouth
she had thoughts to express,
and could be a mess-
slang foreign to the fine folks of Louth.
Another Example by Yours Truly
There was a gal from Poughkeepsie
who fancied a herself head gypsy
she danced in the rain
some thought her insane-
and quite naughty when she was tipsy.
