Jay Doubleyou: rhyme in english
Why not try something a little more interesting:
Writing a Limerick's absurd,
Line one and line five rhyme in word,
And just as you've reckoned
They rhyme with the second;
The fourth line must rhyme with the third.
The limerick form is so well known that it can be parodied in fairly subtle ways. These parodies are sometimes called anti-limericks. The following example, of unknown origin, subverts the structure of the true limerick by changing the number of syllables in the lines.
There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks never would scan.
When asked why this was,
He replied "It's because
I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as ever I possibly can."
Limerick (poetry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- A limerick fan from Australia
- Regarded his work as a failure
- His verses were fine
- Until the fourth line.
These can be put together very easily as these English lessons show:

Limericks | ESL
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "let us flee!"
"Let us fly!" said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
- Ogden Nash
