limericks

Rhyme is important in any language - and understanding it can be good for your 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."

A limerick fan from Australia

Regarded his work as a failure

    His verses were fine

    Until the fourth line.

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
