Alright, I've seen how well people around here can write, so I hope we can get some good ones out here. Dictionary.com defines "limerick" as:
Quote:
|
A light humorous, nonsensical, or bawdy verse of five anapestic lines usually with the rhyme scheme aabba.

I used to be pretty into limericks, writing them and putting them on buttons, posters, etc. for high school elections, I'll see if I can pull some old ones out. But here's the last one I wrote, to poke fun at an old english teacher who stuck stringently to rules of composition.
There once was a boy, couldn't rhyme
Tried a limerick, ran out of time
Said his teacher to he,
"Now how can that be
when you write so damn well?"
