Limericks
The content of a Limerick is usually brawdy and humourous, sometimes downright obscene.The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth lines having nine syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having only six, and rhyming separately. Lines are usually written in the anapaestic meter, but can also be amphibrachic.
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, 'It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!'
~ Edward Lear 'A Book of Nonsense' ~
